Has anyone here decided to to the cord blood thing? All my friends who
have had babies did it and I keep leaning toward doing it. But if I
don't do it will I regret it? Ugh! Can we have a discussion here about
it??

I found out 2 weeks ago that Jeff had written some love letters to a "friend" of ours.  I went to a friends house for just over a week while his parents house had guests and now I am at home again.  I am seriously near the end of my patiences rope with him.. *sigh*
Here is one ...

We just got some chairs so I'm not laying on the floor anymore.  lol
The trip was long, long, long.  We stopped in Arkansas the second day
and spent the night with dh's sister who lives in a wide spot in the
road called Harrison.  Right smack dab in the middle of the Ozarks.

Just finished OD's tiara!  She's going to be happy when I get the pics
to her.  It's made with a black band that has rhinestones around the
base.  Above the rhinestones, I've set an ivory vintage choker, above
which I have twisted wire worked with ivory and grey freshwater pearls,

Hi, I'm calling myself Reepicheep and I would like to join this group.
I have been posting to Usenet for a while, using my real name but I've

They are going to be painting in the main bedroom wing for the next
couple of days so we left the teens on their own for the night (no work
happening in their wing) and came to our old house in the city.  We
will be renting it out in a couple of months but nobody is there now.

The skin on T's hands has become very chapped since we moved here. I'm
wondering if it is because the water is so hard.  He still sucks his
fingers which is making it much worse.  I don't want to try break the
finger-sucking habit now while we have just moved.  That's his comfort

Bonnie and Xavier had Cornish hen for the first time tonight and ate it up
along with some mashed potatoes and Aspargus and stuffing :D.. Xavier seems
to only like the tips of the asparagus so I may have to get some of them
without the stems for him.  Oh and if anyone has a good ...

Forgive me, but my email program seems to forget how to email you

Today Ds went to school and didn't throw a tantrum, not even a whimper!  He
did his momma proud today!

We just got a phone call from YS(15)'s stepmom.  YS's grandmother (my
former MIL) was killed tonight in a wreck.  They were/are having a
storm in NE Arkansas.  She had driven into town.  Apparently, she
didn't see a semi coming and pulled out in front of it, head on

Jeff has decided to take the kids overnight despite my "controlling ways"
After all we all know that controling people say you can have the kids as
much as you want. For the whole weekend if you want.. GRRRR.. anyway I have
to find something to do now :P

how much money per person would you budget for meals for a month? I have:
Bonnie- Apetite depends on what I cook
Xavier- Eats about 1/2 a cup of food per meal if not less.
Me- Trying to limit portions.

Alena's had a cold for the last few weeks, so it's been a regimen of
snuggles and temperature taking for her. Well, today I fell down sick

I'm laying on the couch in my room and she comes over climbs up beside
