am I the only one who does not like nanas?

yes

 

[HollyTyler]

that chicken in not pooping tums....we have that chicken. she poops bubble gum and jelly beans.

But wait a minute, isn't the Easter Bunny supposed to be the one who poops jelly beans?

 

[Mom323]

are most people wearing swimsuits underneath their boarding clothes?

Not me as it isn't a good look for me!

Me either.

You have to protect you! and your family!! Most professionals in this business will tell you that you have to tell her that you will not be a part of her life while she is drinking. When she gets help then she can be a part of the family events. And that goes for he enabler husband. Harsh, yes, but you protect you. It also sends a clear defined message to the sick person. The sickest person always controls everyone else, until you take control yourself. Hard, yes! But you can do it.

I wish I had known to ask for help with this 5 years ago...my insticts over the past 5 years brought us to the place of not including them in anything, but then DHbreaks down and feels sorry for her. Oh well, no looking back I'm just moving it forward. We are on a stronger path now, and have lots of support and will continue to vocalize our problem and seek offers of advice from those that have dealt with this.

Thanks for your words. They have very much reinforced what I heard from MIL therapist.

Never swallow your bubble gum!

 

[taysmom]

ha..too funny

 

[HollyTyler]

Never swallow your bubble gum!

Too funny! I should show that to Tyler because although I don't let him have gum, his dad does and he likes to swallow it. I keep reminding him not to swallow it and now I'll tell him this is why! Don't worry, he'll know it's a joke!

Holly,

back to you. I understand you are feeling down. Been there and done that. Try to keep drinking water and exercising and your plan to talk with your pastor is good as well as your doctor. Read what you can on depression. I found that understanding the issues invovled help me deal with them head on. Time is a great healer, not to mention an upcoming Disney cruise.

nope, not comfortable for me. I'm carrying a day bag.

Thanks a bunch! Exercise has done well for me in the past because it's a great stress reliever, but I haven't been able to motivate myself to do so for many months. Not sure how to pull myself up just enough to want to exercise, then the exercising will help.

Nan...I just looked at my ressie and all the palos are gone from my cruise plans? Do you know why?

What about the Cadbury Bunny and the chocolate eggs?

 

[nskjerven]

we are watching the Last Mimsy....not sure what this is about.

funny and strange movie...

 

[Mom323]

Speaking of Cadbury Eggs, do they seem smaller?

 

[Making_Memories]

did you read Shirley's note on the main forum that they may stop letting us send boxes ahead of time. I sure hope not.

OMG please tell me that is NOT true!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mom323]

I've checked our Palo ressie and it's still there.

 

[taysmom]

I'm calling your cell now.....

 

[CruzDirectorKaren]
