Wait for the wind to blow a different direction and it will change agaain....

Well, things did not get bad overnight, so I do not believe they will be corrected overnight either......

Too funny!

Remember, to make time for yourself.....having others around you to give you a break on a regular bases for overnights, works wonders! You will be fine, they grow up leave and then come back again, LOL!!!!

Welcome to the site....Have fun and be safe!

As for your question, be who you are! If you are a giver, be a giver, that is who you are.....As for planning months ahead and being broke......Find a balance!

You still have to survive, you have not known him that long, and some of the best gifts are the ones that say, " I thought of you." Example: a key chain, a lunch certificate to their favorite fast food, a rental card for a movie at blockbusters/whatever....getting it?

It is not what you spend, but that you cared enough to be yourself and give a gift! Best to you!!!!

Welcome! Have fun and be safe.....

It has been 14 years, and I would give anytihing to be able to hear my mothers voice again .....search your heart and find a way to share the time you have....it is always better than not having them at all......

YES, go to the doctor and get yourself checked out.

I was hit from behind (by an off duty cop) while stopped at red light, I thought I was fine too.....needless to say, I found out that I had serious internal injuries, but did not know until the following days.....

Most injuries do not surface until the body has rested and you begin your day-to-day routines......Please go tot hte doctor.....better safe than sorry........Best of luck to YOU!!!

Back at you.....

And, they say they are only for women....lol!!!

shoesmonkey, I have to agree.....I could not help, but share...

I'm reminded that "God Works in Mysterious Ways "
Tampons (A TRUE STORY)

Tampons to the rescue in Iraq !! Don't worry, it's a good story, and worth reading. It's even humorous in parts. It's from the mother of a Marine in Iraq .

My son told me how wonderful the care packages we had sent them from the ladies a uxiliary were and wanted me to tell everyone thank you.

He said that one guy we'll call Marine X, got a female care package and everyone was giving him a hard time.. My son said, 'Marine X got some really nice smelling lotion and everyone really likes it, so every time he goes to sleep they steal it from him.' I told my son I was really sorry about the mistake, and if he wanted I would send Marine X another package. He told me not to worry about Marine X because every time I send something to him, he shares it with Marine X.

He said when my husband and I sent the last care package, Marine X came over to his cot picked up the box, started fishing through it, and said, 'What'd we get this time?'

But my son said they had the most fun with Marine X's package. He said he wasn't sure who it was supposed to go to, but the panties were size 20, and h e said one of the guys got on top of the Humvee and jumped off with the panties over his head and yelled, 'Look at me, I'm an Airborne Ranger!!!!'

One of the guys attached the panties to an antenna and it blew in the wind like a windsock. He said it entertained them for quite awhile. Then of course.......they had those tampons. When he brought this up, my imagination just went running, but he continued.

My son said they had to go on a mission and Marine X wanted the Chap-Stick and lotion for the trip. He grabbed a bunch of the items from his care package and got in the Humvee. As luck would have it he grabbed the tampons too, and my son said everyone was teasing him about 'not forgetting his feminine hygiene products.'

He said things went well for a while, then the convoy was ambushed and a Marine was shot. He said the wound was=2 0pretty clean, but it was deep. He said they were administering first aid but couldn't get the bleeding to slow down, and someone said, 'Hey! Use Marine X's tampons!' My son said they put the tampon in the wound. At this point my son profoundly told Me, 'Mom, did you know that tampons expand?' ('Well....yeah!')

They successfully slowed the bleeding until the guy got better medical attention.. When they went to check on him later, the surgeon told them, 'You guys saved his life. If you hadn't stopped that bleeding he would have bled to death.' My Son said, 'Mom, the tampons sent by the Marine Moms by mistake saved a Marine's life.'

At this point I asked him, 'Well, what did you do with the rest of the tampons?'

He said, 'Oh, we divided them up and we all have them in our flak jackets, and I kept two for our first aid kit.'

I am absolutely a mazed by the ingenuity of our Marines. I can't believe that something that started out as a mistake then turned into a joke, ended up saving someone's life. My sister said she doesn't believe in mistakes. She believes God had a plan all along. She believes that 'female care package' was sent to Marine X to save our Marine.

Either way, our efforts have boosted the morale of many Marines, provided much needed items for our troops, AND saved the life of a Marine! God bless every one of you for your efforts and hard work, and God bless our Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and all our military service personnel.

This is so "COOL" Thanks for posting.......
