Alright, I just gave a read through of your latest post.

I will start off by saying that while I think that I can & will offer a fresh perspective to things for you, Dom continues to offer invaluable assistance to you. I am sure you have appreciated every bit of it.

The next thing on my mind came after I glanced at my last post. Not only are you blessed with having Christ by your side continuously but you are also blessed with those three amazing little girls. Give them a hug and a kiss. I wish I could hug my kid on a more regular basis. And actually I need to be more grateful of the fact that even at age 15 I still manage to get the hugs that I do from her when I am around her. It is all from God.

"Now, I am sitting here, feeling worse about my M than I ever have before."

I had something pop into my head as I was reading your post. I will ask regardless of the risk of stirring things up a bit. Following each of these three deliveries have you experienced any post-partum depression? I realize that this may not at all be the case, but I was just feeling like that was something I wanted to find out from you, if you didn't mind.

I also wanted to be sure to mention that I think that your having posted your items that your H would need to start doing & those that H would need to stop doing is simply fantastic. You said "I am sure that there is something wrong with the things that I am asking for .." There is not a darn thing wrong with any of those things. The only thing wrong with them is that they haven't happened yet. I have faith that they will.

"How many times do I need to repeat that list." Do not diminish the importance of the things on your list. To decide that you have already said then enough times to him would be greatly diminishing their importance. They are vitally important to the revitalization of your M. Treat them as such and do not think of ceasing the refrain no matter how old it seems to be getting. He is a guy, he is thick headed and dense. A few more sledge hammer whacks and you might just be able to reach the cerebral cortex of that silly DAM (thanks FG) of your's. You will not give up. You have too much of the Lord's will coarsing through your veins.

A few more sledge hammer whacks is what it is going to take, Ann. Swinging that thing is a lot of hard work. So catch your breath and then prepare to swing some more. And remember to swing it in a loving kind of way. I didn't say anything about being gentle ..just loving \:\)

Pray hard and swing harder. May the Holy spirit descend upon you and your family. I'll pray.
