Stephanie,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I think we all need different areas of this web site at different times, then there's some we need all the time. The best part is the support for one another.
I appreciate all of you. If you need anything just ask me, I am a good listener .
]take care
I have some interesting news. You guys remember the delay in our adoption. Well, I just got off the phone with my SW and stuff has gotten even stranger! The foster mom is going to be an organ donor for a family member at the beginning of Aug... so the kids need to be gone by then! So we will have our presentation on the 26th, and bring the kids home on the 27th... then I fly out to my sister's wedding on the 28th... and leave DH with 3 boys until August 1st... seems like this foster mom doesn't care as much as she claims... the vacation should have been cut out or cut short to lessen the trauma to these boys! CRAZY MAN CRAZY!!! But that's my life...

Stephanie! Thats great news! OMG, thats right around the corner...so exciting! Its funny that you'll leave the 3 boys with dh right off the bat. They'll probably just do boy stuff to bond and when you come back you'll have to work hard to show them who's boss! haha
I was diagnosed with a cortisol deficiency when I was 4 years old and diagnosed with PCOS when I was 13. I am 24 now and have been struggling with my weight and self image all my life.
My husband and I got a new puppy last week and that got me thinking about having children. I had never researched my "syndromes"; I guess since they have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember I just accepted them. Tonight I decided to do a little online research.
When I came upon this site I could not believe my eyes. You all were writing down my feelings exactly. For the first time I realized I was not the only person suffering with this!! Thank you so much!
This is truly an inspiration to know I am not alone with my self image struggles. I am so sick of looking in the mirror and hating the way I look--the weight, the hair! Thank you! I look forward to reading everyone's posts and start dealing with my self image in a healthier fashion!!
Julia WELCOME! You have found a great place... full of wonderful women who struggling daily with the same issues! This thread is particularly great (in my opinion)!
Tell us a little more about yourself... I see you are married, how long? Is this the first time you guys have considered kids? How long have you been trying, or are just starting out? Tell us everything.
As for me, well all my info is down in my siggy!
It has been a few days since I have gotten a chance to post over here. It looks like we will get to meet our kids (we are adopting) on Tuesday the 27th, then we will have to postpone things till the following due to flight plans we already had. So the first week of Aug, my kids will come home for good. Now, DH built the beds this weekend... let me get those posted over here.

Oh, this is one without the saftey rail attached on top yet... it doesn't look perfectly square because it isn't all tightened together... this was a test fit...

Sorry I haven't been in here much this past week.....DO has been on vacation, so I kept getting interrupted. Stephanie, I'm thrilled that your boys will be with you so soon! Congratulations!
We received some bad news this afternoon. Shortly after DO returned from work we got a call from Scotland (where DO is from). My mother in law is in hospital there with a very large tumor in her lungs. We'll find out in the next couple of days whether or not it is malignant. Even if it isn't malignant, her health is poor, so she will have a hard time with recovery.

Galeska, Sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope she recovers okay.
Stephanie, those bunks are awesome! Have him make me something!
Julia, welcome! We're happy to have ya. Tell us more about yourself.
dede, you all moved in and online yet? Tell us how its going.
Where is everyone else? Nothing new with me. I am off work now for a month...without pay. :-( I am looking forward to a week's vacation out to the bay area and some baseball games. Other than that, my life hasn't changed much. No news of any great men waiting in the wings either. lol Wish I could mail order one.
Steph, I am a social worker/counselor at a college...summer courses are finished so no students, no work. :-( I usually only work 10-11 months out of the year, so I have to plan ahead. I really like it though, much easier than my last job doing child protection/foster care work!
SL- the bed looks wonderful. It is so cute. The boys will love it.
Sorry I haven't been around in forever. I'm so busy now with everything. We just got back from camping. My DH was on vacation leave all last week. We run around and had fun.
Hope everyone is doing good

ok, OMG! Steph that is awesome bout the little boys. I wondered almost everyday about what kind of news you got. Your hubby built those beds? that is so great.
Gale, I am so sorry bout your MIL did you get anymore news about it.
Julia, Welcome aboard. you will find so much support here. What do you do about cortisol deff?
Missy, OMG when i read you were going to w/o pay for a month I thought you had been laid off too. Glad to know that you werent. How are you enjoying your time off?
Heather, We miss ya
Stormy, HEY. Sorry i missed your pop in. Hopefully you will pop back in soon. Did you enjoy camping?
OK here goes about me.
My phone/ net / cable was suppose to be set up the thursday after i moved and i did not have the money so i had to change the date. All set up now and running. WHOOOHOOO.
Ok, Friday July 2 we had planned to leave out of with trailer around 2 oclock so we would miss most of the Atlanta holiday traffic. Well we loaded stuff and moved stuff on the trailer til 3. (it never goeas as planned). We went to pull the trailer out of the driveway and the weight made it bottom out. So we decided to change the hitch around to a higher one so it would not bottom out. That took a couple of hours. BIG PAIN IN THE BUT. We used a chevy 3/4 ton v8 truck and it did not pull the trailer at all. we drove on the interstate for 4 1/2 hours going 40 most of the way. if we got around 50 when the big 18 wheelers came by we would have a hard time with control. ANyways, when we got here the house looked like it had not been clean in the year that i had been gone. THE HOUSE STUNK SO BAD. we spent all day saturday, sunday and part of monday just cleaning and making general repairs to the house just so we could move furniture in. We moved our furniture in Monday afternoon. and we have spendt the rest of our time going crazy. it has taken about 2 weeks just to bring this house up to some sort of standards. OH and by the way there was a roof leak that no one took care of so my ceiling is caving in along with the roof over the garage and at the back of the house. Last Saturday DF pulled the plug on the company. He found out that they were about to pop them for another 4 grand. So that company is closed up. THere is a big sense of relief with him. Here we are with neither one of us having any sort of income but yet were at more peace now. Just cross your fingers now that we can find jobs that will atleast pay the bills. THe kids have not missed a beat since the move they have made friends and already having sleepovers. SO that is good. ok, that s my book for now
hugs and i missed ya girls
