• Well, I'm doing 3 cross-stitch patterns at one time this month! lol.  My pregnancy is doing good, still don't know what we are having though.  Making my Thanksgiving dinner list to make sure I don't leave anything out, and making sure I call the whole 7 people that are coming...lol.  I'm excited, it's my first thanksgiving that I'm cooking in my new apartment with my mew family. (husband and baby).   My 4 and 3 year old boys are driving me crazy now that they have more room to run!  LOL...  I work for H&R BLOCK for the 2nd year this year and the busy life of classes start the 12th, nervous and excited about that.  Well, I'll keep you ladies updated about what going on.

• I loved being a SAHM until recently. We are going through a custody battle with the state against my SS mother. With his developmental delays and his past we have appointments every time I turn around. My husband is in the Army and hardly every home. It seems like he makes his days longer so he doesn't have to come home to deal with SS then gets mad when I am in a bad mood from dealling with a 4 year old (SS) and a 2 year old (DS) who don't listen and fight most the day. If I want to get any shopping done when he is home I have to wait for nap/bed time or take the kids with me. I don't take SS shopping with me because he doesn't listen and the chance of running into bio mom (if I go to Wal-Mart I see her almost everytime)who likes to start drama and I don't want it around my kids.

  My husband is off at school now and won't be back for a few weeks and I am going nuts. He asks how the kids did during the day and I tell him. He says he will be home soon and it will be fine. Until then I can deal with the kids. I told him the other day about signing an IEP for SS and what he would be doing at school this year. He told me "whatever" then that I made the wrong decision. I tried to talk to him about it for the last few weeks before he left and his answer was always "whatever you want to so is fine".

  The only thing for certain is uncertainty. ~UNKNOWN~

• I'm so sorry for what you are going through, it's never easy when you feel like you are doing it alone.  My oldest is Autistic so I know what you mean about appointments! lol... they never end.    Maybe you need to sit down your husband and have a VERY serious talk about how alone you feel and you need his support.  He doesn't have to fix everything (you know men love to do that) but even just listening would be 100% better and to give you feed back on what to do.  Also try getting HIM to talk about how stressed out he is about his day.  some men think that because you are so stressed they don't want to add to it, so they keep everything in, which in turn makes them close up and makes ya'll  grow apart.  Remind him that a husband and wife's job and privilege is to lean on each other and be EACH OTHER'S support and rock through life... good luck and keep us posted ok??

  I don't believe in easy rides, so I'd make her get a job to help.. if she can't work or get to work then she needs to work inside the home to help "pay" for the food she's eating.  Kinda like giving chores, if she doesn't do the chore(s)  then she doesn't get to eat.  Simple.  And if she complaines you can always slap her.....LOL.  Good luck! :)

  The only thing I can think of that's super quick is going to be a bus boy.  I know at chilies you get tipped by the waiters a lot of the time.... it's what I do in the tax off season to make ends meet.  You make ok money, easy work, and pretty much every place needs a bus boy..... Good luck and please keep us posted..... also if you have craigslist.com in your area you can sell stuff on there too.  Like old clothes or nick/nacks you don't want...ect...

•   You and your husband know that you two can over come this current situation. Also think about that you're doing the right thing.  I would though try to help the move out process go a little smoother faster. 

   I hope you and your hubby hang in there and hold on tight to each other. good luck.  We're here to hear you vent. So vent on!
