I'm so glad to see a post from you and that you sound like you and your family are doing well.
Sometimes I still miss my BB friends. I think of all of you often when I'm thinking instead of being emotional when responding to something. I don't know if it is just me but I know the people I felt closest to here made a big emotional impact on me and I feel will always be special and a part of me now.
Take care and thank you for the support and help you gave me when I so badly needed it.
Hugs,
Pam

Hope your weight loss is going well or finished. I thought of you the other day when I was doing something working on my own losing. See you are still an inspiration!
I have a thread that I post to but not real regularly, but if you ever wanted to leave me a message I'm still around and would love to hear from you ever so often.
D shared my thread with J and she posted some pretty ugly posts for a while.
I just haven't felt the need to post as regular since most of my mentors are gone. I decided that meant it was time I implemented what I had learned to do it on my own. But you guys are still in my head and my thoughts when I do. Current thread
Ms. Sage sorry for the hi-jack but I know you already know how much you mean to me.

I can't believe I never posted a response to the wonderful PIB for the visit! I swear I thought I had!
PIB, I'm so glad you came by and am thrilled at how things are going for you! I can't believe how grown up your dd must be at 15 months -- going on 6 months here for Ms. Charlotte. Amazing how time flies! We've been starting sign language with Charlotte, too, hoping to mitigate some of the frustration of the "can't quite talk yet" years.
Ah, h just got home...cutting short my update.
Things are going well. I've been using the KLA tapes to work through some issues that haven't been magically going away (nothing huge...just adjusting to our new life) and it's been helping a lot. Will post more when I'm solo!

Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
I'm so glad that you are getting to communicate with Charlotte! I can't imagine how parents got through this time before signing!
Sounds like life is good for you and you are adjusting to your new adventure with your dd! I've become the gushing parent, everything my child does is amazing.
I'm sure you are thrilled and exhausted all at the same time!
Oh, good God, I had to pull my thread out of oblivion. Is it somehow wrong to miss the days when I posted a jillion times a day and would hit refresh a bunch of times in the hopes that someone had posted on my thread?
I've been meaning to post for weeks...the 4th anniversary of DDay has come and gone and amazingly enough, I didn't even remember it was DDay until the morning OF! In years past I had fretted and planned and pined. Gosh, am I getting forgetful?
Things here are good. Charlotte is 8 months old and gorgeous and sweet (tho' what is up with the crabbies of late? I think it's because she's dying to MOVE and all she can do is crawl backwards!). Things with h are amazingly good...we're coming out of the new baby haze and enjoying her and each other a great deal. So much of it is how terrific he's been...playing with her, taking on all of the household duties (THAT was the deal when we agreed that I would be the one to get up with her at night). I consider myself a very lucky woman.
I listened to the KLA tapes a few weeks ago and Men are from mars....too. A good reminder to get my "appreciation" self out of the closet and the "no ASSumptions" self too while I was at it.
I miss you guys. I miss posting and knowing what's going on and feeling as though I "get" it and that I know what's going on with everyone. I picture myself back here some day...because I can be of help maybe or for the comraderie (sp?) or whatever.
h is out with his work friends tonight. There was a time when that would have freaked me out completely. Part of me is so much more trusting now and part of me just simply knows that I'm not responsible for his fidelity. I know that there will be younger, thinner women there tonight ( ) and it's not that I don't care but I know I can't control it...but there's a part of me that wonders "will I think back on this time 5 years from now and see myself as a fool???".
Oh, whatever.
Come visit! Say hi even though I'm a lame excuse for a poster of late.
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
Funny, I swear I was just thinking of you last night - I was really mad at my H, and thought "I need to email Sage and get her advice on this".
(I was having a really bad day, and wanted some reassurance from H, and gee- big surprise - that's still a completely cheeseless tunnel with him. ARGH!)
As for this:

Why, oh why, don't you have a babysitter yet? You need to get a good reliable sitter and go WITH him to things like this (unless, of course, it's just a boy's nite out). Ellie
She is absolutely beautiful. What gorgeous blue eyes and a delightful smile. Hard to be down about anything when looking at that face.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
