AA meeting tonight. It's only been a few weeks since I started attending. I don't feel like I am getting anything from it other than a marked increase in social anxiety when I have to be there, but the break from the daily routine is nice to have once a week. The coffee is good.

The wrath of my mother is not something I wish to incur at this moment in time. I've had enough of it. Earplugs would cause me to ignore my own children as well as my siblings. That, and I've always had sensitive ears. Ear plugs won't do anything but give me more of a headache than I already have to carry around daily. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Well my next suggestion would be a baseball bat, but... uh... the nice guys in the cars with the flashing lights on top get all excited when you start using a baseball bat to make people shut up. >.>

Even if you just find a few small reasons to go, Yahweh, keep going. :)

I used to go with someone I knew as moral support, even though I'm not a drinker (and everyone at the meeting rolled their eyes at me when I said that, lol.)

We're all wishing you the best and hoping you'll keep us updated.

I'm sorry you have to go through all this now. Being pregnant and waiting for your home to be ready isn't making it any easier.

I have been praying for you a lot. I sincerely mean that. I know that isn't helping you get your home ready or making the pregnancy easier but I remember going through stressful times when my kid's were little like yours. That precious five minutes you might get alone are like gold. Money issues suck, being tired sucks, having headaches sucks too.

I wish I could send you money, I know that stress, I still live it sometimes. I hope this new place is ready soon and you and your family can have some peace.

So last night while working out I managed to smash my finger with a 50lb weight. I use those to stick my feet under them while I do ab exercises. I was putting back said 50lb weight...and somehow smashed my finger, on the knuckle. It's very sore. Maybe I need a different method for holding my feet down.

My husband finally had another day off beside Sunday. We had some time alone. We dropped the kid's off at school, took a ride came home went upstairs and slept uninterrupted for about two hours.

I had had you all thinking, no Fenner don't go there! :)

If I "Like" this, it feels like I'm applauding your sorrow. Where's the "Empathize" button?

Ouch, I'm sorry. Were you using it to hold your feet down while doing crunches? Does your gym have a decline bench?

While doing sit ups/crunches and I don't know what they are called but you start in the sitting up position and then go half way down and back up again. <------- and if that didn't clue you in to the fact that I'm a workout novice my next question might.

What's a decline bench?

Ouch! :( I've done that before except it was just the tip of my finger. Have to be real careful to put it on the end of the rack then kind of push it back. Its hard if there's only room for one more weight. In that case I either find another rack or lean it against a bench or against another rack.

This is what basically I mean, although it should be more upright than those against the rack in the picture so people don't trip over it..
