YES! It's perfect for that age, and one of my favorite books!

I wouldn't skip a day, it should not produce an urge to go or to be uncomfortable during your test. The last thing you need is a fissure from being constipated.

:w00t:

I'm making the 3 hour drive :) (but don't let that scare you away from attending! :lol:)

My mom used to feel this way when I was a teenager (needless to say it wasn't pleasant for me! lol) but she went to a doctor and told her about how irritable she was and he gave her B12 shots to try... OH MY GOODNESS! It was like a different person, she was so calm and even and nice once she started taking the shots. She was also told to cut coffee consumption way down.

Writing Tales

I posted yesterday at a really low moment and I really appreciate the prayers and the pm's and the hugs. :grouphug: I was also medicated because I'm recovering from a particularly painful surgery and I probably should have stayed offline... I also should't have posted without being able to be more specific. The question "are you happy with your life?" was one I've been thinking about lately and it just struck me when people were posting about how happy they are that it was once me, not too long ago (9 days ago) that would have posted that I was blissfully happy - I couldn't ask for anything more. Now when I see people post that I think that if this happened to me, it could happen to anyone! How can you ever trust anyone because when someone is good at lying, you won't know it. :sneaky2: I have been talking to someone from this board, someone who I feel like saved me from complete despair who has been through what I am going through so I do know deep down that I will survive this and I'm not alone but right now, it just hurts so badly. My children, my friends, my family will all be profoundly effected by what is happening. I'm not as sad for myself as I am for my children. My children will NEVER fully be able to put this past them and their whole lives will be very, very different. until recently I would have said I'm generally a very happy person, I wake up excited for the day, I feel blessed and I don't let little things bother me, ever. When I was 21, my 19 year old brother was killed in a car accident. Since that time, I kind of go with the perspective that nothing could be as bad as that (except the death of child) so when our well broke and we had pony up $3000 to fix it, meh, that's life, when you have to deal with unpleasant people or a bad work schedule or a long winter or... whatever, I could never understand why people (my husband) let that kind of stuff get to them and make them unhappy. I've been angry (and all the other human emotions, lol) but I vent and I get over it which I think is normal. Some people are not happy because they let everything bother them when it is not worth it. Now, looking back, I guess my husband was just unhappy in general so everything bothered him when I just thought that nothing really bad had happened to him so he just had no perspective. He would often ***** about something and I'd think, yeah it's bad but no one died, right?... we're healthy, the kids are healthy... so get it out and don't let it consume you. I don't know if this makes sense, can I still get away with telling you all I'm under pain medication? ('cause I am, LOL) :tongue_smilie:

I want to explain and talk about it but I just can't yet. I don't even know where to start but I'm sure in the coming months I'm going to need advice or just prayers.

If you asked this question 2 weeks ago, I would have said I am blissfully happy. I have an amazing family - a kind, funny husband who helps out around the house, kids who are sweet and interesting, husband makes enough money so we don't really worry about $, I get to homeschool and finally, I love our house. But... Today, I'd say I'm unhappy and don't know if I will be or can ever really be happy again. I still can't believe that my life has become what it has. I go to bed at night thinking that I can't do this all over again in the morning and then again and again. Yet, I have to. So no, I am not happy and I never will be. :crying:

please. for a successful minor surgery for me, and easy recovery. Then I need prayers for strength for me and my children. Thank you.

Thanks all for dreaming with me :) Yes, THIS.IS.IT!

Sites 7,9,12 are great because you have kind of a backyard between your sites. That is the only area of the campground we have stayed at and all the sites around that area (8,10,11) are nice. We tent camp, but our friends have a camper so we are a little more limited to where we stay. I've never stayed in the cabins, so I can't give you any idea about that.

Yes, what would you like to know? :) One thing though, the sites book up really quickly. I booked my July 2011 vacation last September.

:tongue_smilie: Well then you can dream with me!

Rocky Gap is the best out of those choices IMO.

Why are you crying? Happy tears, sad tears? :grouphug:

The mac is worth every penny of the premium to me. Like Amber said, once you go mac you will never go back!

Definitely, and yes the Cotswolds do look lovely:D Italy might be dangerous for me because it seems much of my desire for Italy is food related! :eek:

like Comogli, Italy :auto: I could learn Italian and eat gelato and risotto, sit by the harbor and watch the fishing boats arrive with my dinner... <insert dreamy smiley> End of random thought of the day. :lol:

Thank you. Yes, vacations are fun, glad your friend could get away!

Try duck liver (aka foie gras) instead! It is amazing :001_wub:

:iagree:

I've always thought A.D. was a second account for a regular board member. :sneaky2: :iagree:

:D:D Yes, this time less talking and more photos! :lol:
