Adding my prayers as well. :( :grouphug:

:grouphug: Praying it's nothing to worry about. :grouphug:

Just throwing this out there...;) My dd was like that when we first started hs'ing. Every.single.day there were tears and tantrums during school to the point I really thought something was wrong, but for her it boiled down to the fact that I wasn't using things that were appropriate for *her* learning style. I bought things that appealed to *my* learning style. I wasted A LOT of $$ on SL and WP b/c I totally love a literature approach. Dd, however, did not. She is (gasp) a workbook kinda girl. If you start reading to her she just falls apart; eyes glaze over, etc. It took several years for all of this to click in my head. I assumed I was just a rotten teacher, or if I could just buy the next popular thing, etc. I actually had to step away from hs'ing boards in general b/c I always felt like my method of workbooks/textbooks was frowned upon. And some would frown upon it-but I really don't care. :) I now have a dd that LOVES school and who is often at our hs table by 8 am, ready for the day, and ready for her workbooks. Just a thought. :)

I didn't think it was physically possible to pass a 9 mm stone. I had one that size when I was pg w/ ds, and the dr. just said I'd have to wait until after delivery to have lithotripsy. I would think that after passing a stone that big you'd need stents put in to keep your ureters open. (((HUGS))) It stinks being pg and having kidney stones.

:iagree:This is me right now. Sadly.

I'm praying too-I'm hoping by now though that you're all at home in bed/resting. :)

*tears* That was beautiful. :)

I can't leave fb either. I tried repeatedly to get the link in the right spot, and it wouldn't take it. (kept saying URL invalid.) Any ideas??

I'm praying for you too. :(

Wow! Beautiful school room-I really love the color! :)

I can't wait for the back to school sales!! :D

Lots of prayers for her family. :( :grouphug:

I cut ties completely w/ my mom (who was my abuser-my dad sexually abused my sister) for 2-3 years. We had just semi reconciled when she died suddenly of a massive heart attack in April at the age of 57. I never personally confronted her, but my sister did, and was told that we deserved everything she did to us, and that she had no regrets. My dad denies *everything*.

There were all forms of abuse in my house growing up-mostly aimed toward my middle sister and my older (adopted) sister. I find I cannot read this whole post, as it triggers so many bad memories for me. Needless to say, the cycle was broken with me, and there is NO abuse AT ALL in my home. My kids will never, ever know what it's like to have blood run down your legs b/c you were "switched", they'll never have to hide the fact that their dad is in your sister's bedroom, doing who knows what to her. NEVER.
