I love that stuff. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like my daughter. "Can we? Please..." then the guilt trip..."You never let me.." Kids. <BR/><BR/>Glad that James decided he would go coin hunting/shopping. And you...if you don't want to do something, then don't. It's just not the right time. You'll know. <BR/><BR/>For a while there, once a month, my sisters and I would make it a girls night out. I am not much of a drinker and stupidly, I always feel like I have to keep up with them. You guessed it. Hangovers. Somehow that just stopped after about the fourth time. LOL (I still don't drink. Maybe four times a year, tops.) Yeah, not everyone from Wisconsin drinks beer.

If the other "girls" don't like it, too bad for them. You take all the time you need to do what is best and right for you and your family.<BR/><BR/>The super glue trick is a good one that I have used as well.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with everything. <BR/><BR/>HUGS!Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-85355372148769714102007-12-08T10:21:00.000-06:002007-12-08T10:21:00.000-06:00Good morning Laura!We are home, thankfully.

I've used it on my cuts ...Hi Laura,<BR/><BR/>Super Glue, YES. I've used it on my cuts and the kids when they were little. Works wonders. I agree with Betsy on the "girls night out". This is one area you CAN control right now by saying "no thank you". You have been doing so good with putting it together for you and the kids right now, and protecting your heart from guilt will be healing. And it doesn't matter if anyone likes it or not, it's your decision. Besides, if everyone thinks you have changed so much, the area of boundaries is a great place to start. You owe no one anything. (Let MIL place guilt somewhere else, not on you). I am so glad James is getting out with Uncle Russ. It's a good, though painful first step for him in his getting through. Love you Laura, and I think of you every day and pray for your heart.<BR/><BR/>Love, Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-47118915774200784082007-12-08T04:25:00.000-06:002007-12-08T04:25:00.000-06:00I second (or third) the super glue thing.

It works great - even at times I could have used a few sutures -- but I always thought it was a "hidden under that table remedy" - not endorced by anyone.<BR/><BR/>I support you nixxing the girl's night out - it sounds like its neither the right timing nor the right occasion.<BR/><BR/>Laura, you have done so much to keep Christmas on a new tract for your kids despite the topsy-turvyishness of your life. You continue to inspire me.<BR/><BR/>You are a wonderful mother & friend.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you.<BR/>Haylee<BR/>xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-64687142479907870682007-12-07T23:55:00.000-06:002007-12-07T23:55:00.000-06:00I would say bail on the game night and give yourse...I would say bail on the game night and give yourself some more healing time. Maybe the next game night would be better. Don't be afraid to give yourself the space...whether anyone else likes it or not. Think of yourself and the children and what is best. It has taken me months to figure that out, but I do feel better knowing I can say 'no'.Betts4https://www.blogger.com/profile/18037389343121979588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-66009033807200980432007-12-07T22:31:00.000-06:002007-12-07T22:31:00.000-06:00OUCH.
