specialmomThank you all very much. I'm doing my best here to hold it all together. So true, we are as happy as our unhappiest child. We are working to turn things around. I appreciate the kind support!!
specialmomYou know what is funny. My newly 8 year old was outside with me when I'm working up a big sweat cleaning out a bed that it looks like a laid a bag of weed seed. He said "why don't you want weeds?"
specialmomAnd I said" well, I want to plant some pretty flowers." And he said "well, these weeds have pretty flowers on them." And I looked and yep, a lot of the weeds had flowered. In my son's mind . . . it was already a flower bed!
specialmomOh yes! It is big fun. My boys love baseball and they are fun to watch. Husband helps coach and it is a great way to spend our Saturdays!! I love when my boys play catch together in the back yard. I could watch that all day!
specialmomYes, I guess I knew that. :<) I worked out what I was going to eat for the day--- complete with snacks and yet i sit and think "Big Mac Big Mac Big Mac". I'm fantasizing about food. Moderation is key ---- very true!
Barb135Happens to me, too. I try to get up and do something physical when the "food attack" hits, if it's not time to eat. Usually works, but not always; depends on whether I'm really hungry for food, or if there's something else I need, instead.
omhomewhat you resist persists--as you have heard but now you experience. Change your focus "taking something away" ---food----to a focus on and practice of "adding something to" perhaps walking program or start swimming every day etc. Find something new to add
What is up with the robins? waking me up every morning pecking at my windows. Happens every spring and I have to put super heros in the windows to scare then off!

rivllI have seen birds do that. Maybe she decided it wasn't a safe place. I watched some ravens build a nest in a tree and the tree did not appear strong for the size of the nest. I was worried. After a week, they abandoned the nest and went elsewhere. :)
rivllHaha sweetie. I know the feeling. It was probably her hubby...lol
She may be back, could be she's just not ready to lay yet. What a joy to be able to see her chickies hatch right before your eyes.
