I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

It is OK to argue and even to be angry at your partner. In fact, this dynamic is an essential part of any equal and satisfying relationship. When we express a difference of opinion or we adamantly disagree with our mate we are creating an opportunity for negotiation, compromise and resolution. When we emerge on the other side of an argument in ...

You probably already know if you drink a lot of coffee or caffeinated soda (don’t even get me started on the soda subject), when you get pregnant, all that caffeine is no good for your tadpole. But I have some info that might make you want to cut back sooner if you are having trouble getting pregnant. There is no definitive on the amount you ...

Well Busy is an understatement

Friday, May 16, 2008 | An Inspiring story

It all started with a good nights sleep. I got a lot done today, more than I thought I would. It started at 1pm when I decided to mow the grass in the back yard. My BIL Scott and my son jumped right in to help out.
We cut the grass, moved the pool, cut the front lawn, edged the lawn, blew up all the debris and trimed the hedges. All three of us and it only took about 2 hours. Then I realized I had...

Oh my Goodness!!!!!!! I had to take Cole to the emergency room today!!!!
Cole was leaning back in his chair in class (like he knows he is not supposed to) and lost his balance. When he fell he had a pencil in his hand and it stabbed into his neck. It was pretty deep! The school called me at 1:50pm and I rushed over there with Clay. The office lady said it wasn't t...

I have had the more horrible UTI for about a week now. I am in so much pain!!! Everything hurts in "that area". And to make matters worse, I woke up this morning and the entire right side of my torso is in pain; well between my rib cage and pelvic bone. Anyone have any idea what this could be? The pains feel kinda like really bad cramps, but I rarely get cramps ...

Well she hid it from me and did not tell me. Then lead me to ...

Well, Evyn came early because my water broke Monday morning. I had just eaten breakfast and I was talking on the phone with one of my friends. It had meconium (sp?) in it. I wasn't for sure if it was my water or not because it didn't gush out like it did when I had Kendall. Anyway, I called the doctor's office and they said to go to the hospital. We took ...
