Oh e,

I know where you are coming from! When we had our first child (now 8) she was

such a terror. She screamed and pooped. That was pretty much it. But we were

thrilled. She was gorgeous and healthy. Along came the second child (now 6)

and she was gorgeous too, and laid back. The answer to our prayers, sleep

through infancy! Then one day in preschool my oldest grabbed her shoe tongues,

rocked back and forth and snorted loudly for 20 minutes. That was the beginning

of many strange behaviors and thoughts. We mourned for the anxiety she would

have to deal with her whole life. She would never be able to go through life

carefree like other kids. At least our youngest was so laid back. She won't

have all of these challenges. Until this year. Now she is riddled with anxiety

and separation issues. Oh yeah, and last night she told me she can't look at

her food when she eats and can't sleep without counting all of her stuffed

animals 3 times. Fantastic news!

Life is never easy. Not for anyone I know, anyway. It is nice to hear from

people here, though, that at least we are not the only people going through this

stuff. Hang in there!

Hi,

I'm not being biased, really...I have two sons who are gorgeous! Sweet,

smart attractive....When they were born, ten finger, ten toes - we were

home free. My 8 yr old son with OCD (diagnosed at 6) is hanging in

there. Doing pretty well, considering that we don't medicate him. Last

weekend, my 5 yr old son had a seizure! Lots of tests to come....They

were so cute that I never imagined that there could be " bad wiring " in

their brains! What the hell? My husband and I are always lookng at them

and commenting to one another, " Damn, can we cook or what?! " . Now, they

both have " issues " with their brains?????? Is this common?

I'm right with you. My sweetie was literally perfect till he was 3.

Cute, smart, could read by age 3 -- we stopped at one child because we

thought we'd hit the jackpot and it would be tempting fate to have

another. Now? Epilepsy, OCD, ADHD and Aspergers. And he's still

cute and smart and as sweet as pie. Wish I could figure him out,

though....

Hi e,

My oldest daughter(12) always says to me " See Mom, I should have been an only

child " She is fine. Straight A's no problems.No problems with her brain.

Than came my extra ordinarily beautiful daughter. My 12 yr old is beautiful too,

but everyone always calls striking!! She is gorgeous. I started having

problems with her the day she was born! She has always been very very difficult

and still is.She has Ocd and Bipolar.

My son was born, cute as anything. He was a perfect little angel, a good boy,

until the " bad thoughts " took over when he was 4.

I don't understand it! I guess we must be very special people to handle these

beautiful kids of ours. I always tell everyone that is why they are so

goodlooking and cute, otherwise we could never handle it!!!!!

Hugs to you

Judy

Well, I keep meaning to get back in to the swing of things and then life knocks

me down again.

We lost our angel our eldest kitty yesterday. She declined in health

this last week after a full year from her diagnosis of kidney failure. We tried

for a few days to turn it around but then had to accept fate and say our

goodbyes. We were on our way to her final vet visit when she passed away in my

arms. I'm relieved she is not suffering but am really just miserably sad as

well.

I didn't do much working out this week for obvious reasons. If I do something

today it will be a miracle. Though I think if I can get through something it

will help. My heart isn't in to kickboxing and dancing doesn't sound fun

either.....soooooo I have no clue.

I of course fell of the weight watchers wagon again. Back full on tomorrow. I

needed much in the way of beer. Though in a small mini-brag. I didn't have one

piece of candy corn this year though walking by a jar every day. Candy corn is

my weakness. I do however have that dreaded left over trick or treat candy to

pawn off on others.

Any whoo I hope you all will forgive me for my on again off again posts.I try as

best as possible to read the digest but its sometimes hard to log in and respond

like I want to.

Love to all

Oh, a. I’m so sorry. We lost our kitty (he was only 3) back in June. We were all devastated, so I understand how you’re feeling. They really ARE a big part of our famlies. Take your time to heal yourself – and use this time to maybe find some other workout routine that’s so not anything you might have tried before. Who knows – you just might find the kickstart you were looking for.

Oh a it's so hard to say goodbye to our earth angels and it seems like

kidney failure is so often what gets the senior pudders in the end {{hugs}}

loves you and is looking down upon you from her new home and a new star

will shine in the sky tonite..

Isn't it great that tomorrow is a new day and you can go back to WW again? I had

a weekend of alcohol and candy but am back to rice crispy cereal and black

coffee this morning, off to do some back care yoga and the like.

Hugs

Thank you . I hope it never happens again. I might go off the wall cat

health nut.

Stupid pet food manufacturers.

Hi a, sorry for the loss of , I know how it feels to lose a pet that you were close to. I'm curious, was getting IVs? My cat Gizmo has kidney problems and gets IVs two days a week.Take care and email me privately if you want to talk about your kitty, JenFrom: a <paulajfrey@...>Subject: Sigh Date: Sunday, November 1, 2009, 11:52 AM
