Hey guys, So good to hear from ya'll.
Debbie, believe it or not, I was just thinking about you recently, how funny. I was wondering where you had been. I have missed all your infinite wisdom. Losing mom was the hardest, lowest point in my life, but I have picked myself up and am trying really hard to be there for the rest of my family, I had to choose them, even thought I wanted to be with her (I would never take my own life, but did think I had reached a low enough that I was going to die anyway, naturally)
Missie, so good to hear from you, so glad the weight loss is going great. Wish I had the nerve and the money to do something, I really need to lose some weight just because I need to. I don't know about you, but Dh and I didn't enjoy the AKL much. We were there for 9 day in Dec 08 and we won't stay there again. I gave it a second chance from last Dec, but it just wasn't for us. I was able to get a great pool view last minute, so you might be able to get that Savanna View
Hematitie, Sorry about the loses,I know that is hard. Dh and I had considered foster again or a while, but ya know we are really enjoying being a childles couple and we sure are having some fun
I don't know if I will consider TTC, adoption, or fostering again or not. I do have custody of my now 18 year old cousin and she is a challenge. She is a senior this year and boy is it expensive. I will be glad when she graduates in May.
Nennie, How are you? I am not a football person. DH changed over to look at the score, and I gave the evil eye until he changed it to something else. Of coures, Dh and I already have 2 trips booked for this year and was discussing a third over the weekend. We are taking advantage of the 4/3 deal for my birthday in June, the 6-13th at POFQ and We booked a Bounceback free dining in Sept , right now 20-26, but will have to change that to the 23-26 when some other openings come avail. We also want to go back for our Annual Anniversary/Christmas trip in Dec.
Disneybride, sorry for your loss. I haven't even been able to conceive much less experience a loss. More than likely I have PCOS, but can't deal with the effects of the Glucophage. I have done medicaited cycles with Clomid and IUI cycles with Clomid and an injectible and never even ovulated, even with the trigger shot. Dh and I have given up amd moved on. I think probably the best thing I have ever done. My mom, my best friend passed away in Aug and I went through a low point because I wasn't able to give her a grandchild. My Dh stood strong by me and pulled me through this low point and we are like a newly married couple. I do have custody of my cousin who my mom had custody of and it is like having a child of my own and not as fun and I had imagined. I practically raised this girl from the time she was born until her mom passed away when she was 5 and then her father took her away from me and she has only been back in my life for a few years and mom took her away from her father last year and now I have her. She is a good girl, just a teenager.
Josh, glad to have you here. Sorry about your wife, but glad she has a great outlook for life. I know a women that went through breast cancer in her 40's and still had a baby afterwards and she is a beautiful 15 year old, if I remember correctly. So don't give up hope just yet. Sounds like you are still young, so keep fighting the good fight. I am almost 36 so I am nearing the end of the journey to parenthood and I believe I am just too selfish to have a child now.
My cousin's 10 year old told me she wouldn't let me have a baby, she is my baby and she meant it, too
She isn't kidding and reminds me as often as possible that she isn't kidding. I took her and her mom, brother , sister, and aunt to WDW in Dec 2008 and we had a great time, sure missed mom, she was really looking forward to taking the 2 little ones for their first trip. I really thought about her alot and did alot of crying. the 10 year old and I did a balloon release on our last night and both cried in front of the Christmas tree on Main Street, in honor of mom. I plan on doing something special on each trip to remember her special place.
Well, I better get to work.
