Blooie, If you all ever get to go on a Marriage Retreat with Tangled House, DO IT! And for anyone else with special needs children, run to sign up! We went (and I got sick Friday night) but what & how they shared really got through to my husband!
They are very honest,real, encouraging and helpful. I am grateful to have heard just a bit of their story and to read through a bit of their short workbook. They even planned a date night! It was sweet to see other couples talking. I kept a 20' rule and avoided everyone but did eat a couple of bits and it was fun for 30 min. to be with all. So many were able to share their story and to realize they are not alone.
Still sick but grateful he got to go and I was left alone to sleep. It's a stomach bug. EVERY time I eat I feel gross, nauseated, pass gas...etc. already called out sick for one of my jobs tomorrow. Not willing to pass it on but I think I got it from my second job coworker who is also out sick.
Phil, Glad the water's back on! Any chance the fainting/blackout/whatever you want to call it is from a quick drop/loss of blood pressure? or from quick,sharp, sheer pain? Or dizziness? Or migraine? and they've looked at thyroid and blood sugar issues, correct? Just wondering....
Rachel....leave an mostly empty, freezer burned carton in there. Then take the good stuff and wrap it up in whatever food they hate such as a bag of spinach, and put it below the thighs level. Upon consuming most of the good one swap it out for the old freezer burned one. It will keep them guessing for awhile! And thinking they missed eating the ice cream while they were out doing something.
