MM I'm on Lexapro and it has made a world of difference for me. I hope the Paxil helps

Everyone Darlene posted down in are you ready her grandmother passed away and she is right in the path of hurricane Frances! We are thinking of you Darlene!!!

This one always makes me

I'm so glad you decided to start this thread Unikemom, what a great idea! I'm Becca Anne, SAHM to 4, soon to be a WAHM since we need $ to get by. I'm going to be selling things I craft on ebay and bargains I find at all the estate and yard sales around here. I am married to my sweet DH Lane, who is currently driving a cab for a living instead of computer programming. He lost his job a year ago and just recently got this one. He has Asperger's syndrome which is High Funtioning Autism. We have one DD who is 12, and starting 7th grade. I homeschool her part time and she attends classes with small groups through the learning center. Our son Max is 9 and started 4th grade yesterday, he along with our 1st grade Jake who is 6 both have AS as well. Then there is Nick, our sweet and mischevious 2 1/2 yr old who just started potty training yesterday and is a whole lot of fun. He is very outgoing and social so no worries about his development. I am a very busy and sometimes nutty person who is comitted to a preparedness lifestyle with no homestead to live it on. SO I just come here to learn as much as I can and try to work toward my dream of someday owning my own little homestead. Hope you all feel welcome here and enjoy our online home!

Welcome to Mrs-S

I am so very very sorry. Your grandchildren are very lucky to have you in their lives. Your DIL surely is abusive, probably a drug addict. She shouldnt' be allowed any unsupervised visits after her threats on their lives even if she hasn't made them recently that alone is enough that she shouldn't have access to them without supervision. I will keep you and your family in my prayers!

Welcome Deb!

Well, if it was just me and DH I would like a cozy cottage. But with 4 kids underfoot I feel SO cramped I'd love a much bigger house to get some quiet spot to relax in once in awhile. Have to make do with my patio table and chair outside for now

Oh I do dread the amount of food I'm going to have to buy when my boys get a bit bigger Fix thyself first should be a wife's credo LOL.

Welcome Karen

I am so very sorry Darlene

Welcome

ROFLOL that's o.k. I don't mind a bit Post here whatever you like

Shudder Blech! Thanks for the tip Hill, hope I never need it

Well since we're renting and the climate is so much more mild here I have a lot less to do. No garden here. Outside, I will need to clean off the patio furniture and put it in the carport for the winter Rake the leaves up all autumn LOL, but the kids will help with that. Decorate for fall- maybe some hay bales and a stuffed scarecrow on the front porch and a pumpkin or two in October. New Doormat for the front porch this fall and a wreath for the door I love to decorate for the seasons and I haven't done anything here yet. Inside- Hmmm Go through every room and vacuum under the beds and then steam clean the carpets. I do this every 3 months or so since I have my own steam cleaner Get the winter clothes out of storage and wash and switch them out with the summer things Order firewood. Get a new firescreen Clean the cars before it gets rainy Take my down blanket to the cleaners and fix the duvet cover- missing buttons?! Not much else to do around here, but I do need to declutter more of course what else is new and make sure the kids have enough winter clothes, boots that fit etc.

Um since I've been a SAHM since my DD was born I'd have to say a resounding YES! I love being home for my family and I wouldn't want it any other way and I sincerely hope that I get to stay home with my kids as long as they need me. Financially that might not be possible, but I'll do whatever I can to bring in some income from home if I can.

My kids are die hard Bryers Mint Chocolate Chip fans!! I love chocolate, and coffee ice cream, or Strawberry or peach. Jeez, I think I love all the flavors LOL. DH loves Tin Roof Sundae.

My favorite season when the air gets crisp and cool and the leaves get so beautiful. My memories of childhood and jumping in the piles and drinking cider and pumpkins and the start of school which I actually liked LOL. My kids bring all those fun times back and I just have so much fun watching them discover the simple pleasures the changing seasons bring.

Hi everyone

I'm so sorry about your friend

So glad you made it through the typhoon safely!

Rained here this morning, and I'm glad because we needed it badly! DH can't mow now, but that's o.k. he needs the rest after his first week of getting up at 4 am every day. The kids and I watched a cute movie called Snow Dogs my neighbor loaned us. Now I'm just getting ready to make dinner. I think I'll make chili today

Wow I never get to post first LOL. How is your weekend going? I pretty much am planning to take it easy today. Yesterday I went to my dad's to help my stepmom make peach pies. So I got to bring home two
