well. I made it to my s9 party yesterday. made it on time too. I think s9 was glad to see us. His last day was today. dang. I'll have him for how many days now. lol
Unfortunately after coming home yesterday s3 was in an aweful mood that night. made me cry again (just having problems getting him to stay in bed), so H came over and helped. very glad about that. I plopped down on the couch and let myself be depressed for a little bit.
Today was a good day. if I remember right. I saw some excercise videos on myspace and played them, and even did a couple. some were pretty tough! so then I got the video out that H had mailed to me. videos on how to get in shape. I hate it when he does that. sure, I say I want to get in shape, but when he sends videos or mags, I feel like he's telling me I need to too. If instead he would say, "hey, you wanna play tennis, or go for a walk, or etc." you know? it would be much cooler. plus, if his 5ll is quality time, wouldn't that be expected anyways? I used to mention working out together or playing racketball at the gym, but he never acted interested. I really don't get him.
anyways, I decided to try it out. it's okay, kinda boring, I'm not a video excerciser person, but I did about 15 minutes worth maybe. s3 thought he'd join in. so I got a pretty decent workout... cause I'm SO out of shape right now. cardio-wise more than muscle wise. and since my back issue, I've lost so much flexibility that I used to have. I use to have absolutely no problem touching my stomach to my legs straight out in front of me, and now I can't hardly put my legs out in front of me without supporting myself with my arms behind me. back problems really bite. I need to stretch all the time probably if I ever want to get back to where I was. not really sure if that could ever happen. I've never come close, but I've never tried long enough.
I give up too easily. or get distracted. probably the later best suits me.
well, H is sick today, so I made him homemade chicken noodle soup.
hope everyone has a great thursday! I hope I'm sore tomorrow, then it will show I really DID work out hard today. that is, a good sore, not a bad sore.

Posted it on myspace too but wow - beautiful song!!! I think you did great.
Hmm.. maybe next time you go somewhere you can sneak a couple of the kiddie menus and crayons and make your own "drawing table" that way? Might be fun.
I think it's a great idea to have a monthly date night and alternate who chooses the activity... bet you would learn a lot about each other that way! Wonder if you could work that into a Christmas gift somehow... hmm.

CM... thanks! I would love to sing professionally actually. that was always a dream of mine. The song is professionally done though. It's not one of my own, it's by Amy Grant, a well known christian/pop artist in the U.S. I love the arrangement too, it is really beautiful.
Nikki. thanks!! you know, I think part of the problem is that I'm scared my H won't like something. and I really have justification for that because say for instance I pick out a movie and he didn't like it, he will definitely let me know. I'm trying to remember how it was in the beginning. he probably didn't let me know things because he was courting me. and I was pretty confident back then and didn't care much what people thought. I guess I need to get that back. Because i'm thinking of these ideas, almost also thinking that it's not going to happen. I know that's not what I should be doing.

Well, we were suppose to go to Wichita yesterday, but they got a blizzard, so we'll probably leave tomorrow. little let down since I'm missing a xmas party today. But there are going to be 3 more to go to when we get there.
Positives for kids... s9 got all his undone assignments turned in except one. So hopefully that will raise his grade. I can't believe how much worse he's doing this year. He went from top of the class in math to the very bottom. and doing just as bad in other classes. So I hope we can fix that problem. okay, guess I should have said positives for kid. not plural. s3 still driving me crazy.
okay, can't think of much else right now. still have lots to do for trip.
I did make some pretty cool christmas candle holders for the grandparents. I'll have to take a pic, they turned out pretty neat. Tall glasses with a pic of the kids on velum paper taped on the glass, and a christmas ribbon around the top. when you put a candle in it, the light goes thru the velum paper really neat.

Hope your trip went ok. Those candle holders sound really pretty, can't wait to see a pic! I love doing crafty stuff like that for gifts.

Thanks Nikki! Merry Christmas to you! my trip was good. my back did great too, never even thought about it once either. and oops, I think I forgot to take a pic of the candle holders. I'll have my mom do it.
probably have a lot to report, but really I can't think of anything right now. I'm kinda in that mood where I want to be lazy, don't want to think much, and just kinda wanna go with the flow. must be the winter thing.
Was kinda dissapointed that H didn't stay with me at my moms much, but that's okay. he got so trashed at a party before new years.... I had to watch him in the bathroom for like an hour off and on. a friend popped in and said, wow, your a nice wife, I woulda left him a long time ago.
still waitin for that next compliment. phoey. maybe I need to stuff socks in my bra or something. haha. I know I got some before, so I gota figure out what it was I was doing then.
good night everyone.

ST, I saw on your post that you were wanting to set aside time to pray for your H. I was wondering if you had read "The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian. My T recommended it to me. It is a small book and very inexpensive or you could probably rent it at the library.
ST - thanks for the encouragement in NikB's thread. I have only skimmed the details of you sitch. If you get a chance, take a look at mine. It's in Newcomers "Pregnant and abandoned" would love your take and experience. This is the hardest thing that I have ever had put in front of me.

I have heard of that book too. I guess I never got it cause I figured it wouldn't have anything extra in it that I would "learn". and that it was more motivational. but guess it looks like I NEED some motivation though. I will try to check that out. glad to hear it's not too long too.

Blindsided. I am sooooo sorry to hear that you are pregnant as well. that must be soooo tough, let alone all the emotions and hormones your body is going thru at this time. I will pray for you and your baby. I usually find people by clicking on their name and looking at their last posts. so I will stop by some time this week, or next. trying not to get tooooo much involved on here, if you know what I mean. but I'm soooo glad you are here, this is a great place to be. I praise God for showing this site to me.
