Tuesday
Good morning, all. Happy Tuesday! 
How's it today? Anyone else get the MasterCard Bill Pay add of the frightening skinny model on the kiddy inflatable to the right? Eww... thanks, Nest Gods for a) making me feel chubbier than I already feel (bloated, PMSy, and in need of continued workouts), and b) making me slightly nauseous for the insane, unrealistic appearance of her body.
Re: Tuesday
Haven't seen that one...I get the one with the light bulb.
I'm good today. Was really sleepy this morning because I couldn't sleep last night, but it's been good so far. I have a feeling today will be very slow.
Morning! I haven't seen the ad but I don't think I want to.
I'm doing fantastic today. We had BWW for dinner and then went to Coldstone for dessert last night - yum! Plus we get to wear Cubs/Sox stuff so whenever we have casual days at work it always puts me in a good mood.
I haven't seen that ad yet...
My left eye is KILLING me. I think it's allergies. It's been watering all morning and light is really bothering it. Sigh....
Good morning! I haven't see that ad either. I don't think i ever see ads or I just don't look anywhere besides the posts.
Anywho, I wasn't feeling well last night, my stomach hurt so bad that it woke me up out of a dead sleep. I'm feeling fine this morning though, so no complaints except I'm a little sleepy from getting woken up on and off last night.
Morning girls, I don't have that ad right now Paula but I know which one you are talking about!
I am ok this morning I have been having trouble getting out of bed in the morning lately. We live in a two family house and it didn't help that it sounded like the kid that lives upstairs fell out of bed or something at 4:30 this morning. That scared the crap out of me, not cool.
I'm so going to hell, because this just made me laugh at the mental picture of some kid falling out of bed at 4:30. LOL I'm sorry it scared you, but it makes me laugh when I think of a kid waking up on the floor with a
face like "WTF?"
Kristi, you ARE strong enough to do this. There's no doubt in my mind that you and the girls will get through anything that is thrown at you. I'm so sorry you're going through this. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to let me know.
.: Diary of a Recovering Runner :.
I feel like a quitter and a failure but I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I want things to work. I really really really do. But I can't do it on my own. It takes two people. And it seems like he's given up.
I have no idea how to contact you or I would've privately from the board. Kristi, if there's anyone here that has the strength to make it through this, I think its you. You've already endured SO MUCH in the past year alone - and that's based only on what you say on this board.
If you don't have my email, here it is again (both of them, and if you want, I'll email you my work email address and/or cell phone so you can basically get ahold of me anytime.) paula k 01 at yahoo dot com or ms paula k01 at gmail dot com.
I hope you already know this (and I'm sure everyone here will say the same thing): if you need to talk to someone, if you need to just get things out of your head by typing things out, or if you need someone to email, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT hesitate.
Kristi, I'm so sorry. ::hugs:: Please be strong and do not add any stress to yourself or the babies.
I was listening to the radio this morning and they were discussing divorce and such and played a clip by Dr. Phil. I hate this man with a passion but he did have a good quote. I found some of it and here it is:
" I think we pull the trigger on divorce in America way too quickly. I think if you're going to get a divorce, you've got to earn your way out, and that means you've got to do all the work. You have to turn over every stone, investigate every avenue of rehabilitation you can before you quit."
He was saying how we've just come to a point where we don't want to work on it anymore. He thinks that we shouldn't give up so easily. He says divorce is an option but make sure when you reach that decision that you can walk away with a sigh of relief knowing that you did everything in your power to make it work.
From what it sounds like you may be heading in that direction but are not there yet. I really hope that Blair finds the time to work with you on this. It's not going to get easier, especially with two beatiful babies being added to the mix soon. I hope that he realizes that long hours at work and extra money in the bank is nothing compared to loosing out on the lives of his beautiful wife and twin girls.
I wish I could give you a hug right now and spack him in the bag of the head and knock some sense into him.
Hang in there and please feel free to discuss this with all the lovely ladies on this board. We may not know each other in real life but I feel like we have all connected and have formed a bond and can help each other get through anything.
You are NOT a quitter or a failure if things don't work out, Kristi. You're trying - you've BEEN trying. If you were a quitter, you would've walked away long ago. If you were a failure, you wouldn't be as successful as you are in life.
You said it: it takes two in any kind of relationship, ESPECIALLY marriage. You made a commitment to Blair, but that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice yourself or your children to him. It's YOUR life too - you are responsible for your happiness. You can't take sole responsibility for him and his happiness.
