REALLY?????? I really thought they would give me a hard time for being single. How's it going?
I may ask you for some stories too. DH has issues with adopting. Some of his high school friends were adopted and they were all issue ladened. It scared him and he is really reluctant. But times a wasting so we have to do something.
This has been one very hard day and the next few will be worse. Reading all your stories has been heart wrenching and heart warming. You've made a tough day feel like their we're others there too. I would hug every one of you and do things to make you all smile if I could. I have some yummy chocolate rum cake that I would share with each and every one of you.
Our loss was on feb 23. Each year as it approaches I struggle to get through. Memories are sacred things and those of you that have shared those have helped. Those of you that have offered comfort or an ear are the arms that give us hugs. My loss like others I'm sure is still held tightly not that I don't want to share. It's just that's all I have left. The pain reminds me that it was real where others have forgotten.
Thanks for sharing, thanks for listening, thanks for not judging, thanks for caring. You have all made a difference.
Ok, stop making me cry, i have to drive to work in a minute.
ok, so uumm I like pretty and a blues and lavenders so talk to me about turkeys that could be of a pretty color?
Flocksalot so sorry for your loss
Turkeys can be AMAZING. my favorite colors were the Spanish black, such majestic birds. What we ended up with are royal palms. The one thing I will say is turkeys bond, so hand raise them unless you want to eat them. Our second hen, pumpkin is still shy of us, but stuffing thinks she is our toddler and is still FURIOUS she is not allowed inside on the couch. She will tell you she is, and will sit outside he window " with" me when I'm by the porch.
Stuffing STILL will not go in the coop, however. Both girls will, but he refuses. He will jump on my arm to be carried TO the coop ones it is dark, but that's all he will give me. I tell you its great exercises.
*sigh* so, apparently, I'm a nutters. Not that I didn't already KNOW this, but ugh. Went to take my turkey eggs to the new house, set them up in the bator all cozy, posted on facebook that they made it, then just had an anxiety attack. Like, are you kidding me? I'm a grown woman, have my own children and I'm terrified of being in a house alone if I'm not focused on doing something! Ugh. I get weird, so I know I'm going to have a problem being there at night if G isn't there and thekids are in bed. So, I had to fess up to him about being scared about something stupid.
I was going to tell you to bring a MP3 book on tape . Pay to join a library that has a REALLY big rental section on line and use those suckers all the time. But you already say you use noise, so it may or may not help. The great thing about mp3 rentals is they cant be late, there is no line for them, and if the library buys a subscription they have a ton of them so you can pick and choose. I did it constantly when i was in downtown and could hear it from every part of the house. Now my phone has lousy speakers and I cant abide having crap on my ears, so it doesn't work as well in the big house .
Luck to you!
Today will be a hard day for me. Hubbie and I are quitting smoking. I have quit before, but he always cave's and then I do too. I want to remain smoke free this time. I'm not using any gum, patches, or anything. My biggest reasons for stopping is health (mine and family) and wealth. I kind of do not see the point in buying gum or patches that cost more then a cheap carton or drugs that cost up to triple that amount. Anyway please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
/hugs
Both my parents FINALLY quit smoking, after quitting for 6 months every year for I don't know how long. MY mom used the fake cigerette, and it worked becuse she HATED IT. It spoiled the ritual of the thing and she could finally kick it. The physical part isn't terrible, but the emotional one is killer. Good luck!! I'm excited for you.
Thank you for all the encouraging stories, ill tackle DH again this week after he is done with the refinancing paperwork. ( looks like we could be saving 400 a month with refi! WOOHOOO) Only one stressful topic at a time....
