I love The Price Is Right!! Sometimes I’ll find myself thinking about it when I’m in the grocery store, but I’m terrible at guesstimation…I’d never win the dining room set or the exercise bike. :p

Love it! The color is so rich looking, I think it’s great for Fall. It takes me forever to change purses, probably because it takes forever to find one that I like everything about. Seems there is always something

Oooh! Pretty! That purple is perfect for fall. Would love to hear what you think of it functionality-wise after you break it in for a few days. I have yet to find a fall/winter bag that I like, so I’m still lugging around my “bottomless pit” from last year.

Comment on Halloween etiquette? by Lyndsey

No, your not the only one, especially now a days when not everyone participates in Halloween. Of course I do note that kids in general are bolder than we used to be. I can’t believe the lack of respect for adults. If we were ever sent to the principals office it was a big deal and would probably get a whipping when we got home. Now the parents find excuses and try to blame somebody else.

Okay I’m off my soap box, sorry, rant over!

You are right lights off, no treats!

Comment on PMDD: What it is, what it isn’t by Karen Burr

I absolutely relate to your blog. I have had PMDD for aboout 5 years. The problem is I need a doctor in So Cal who can help me. I’m on the pill which helps. I was on Prozac, that seemed to help, but I felt like I was speeded out all the time on that so I got off. Did natural hormones, didn’t work, creams, etc. I have back pain, rages, depression–is it just work out what works for you? I wish there was a tried and true answer whether that be a pill or whatever. Know of any PMDD specialists in So Cal or a website to research?

I’m new to this site. I sometimes scream uncontrollably at my kids…right in their faces, like 3 inches away…and I see in their eyes, the confusion and fear…and I can’t stop because I’m so angry and tired and out of control. This is what finally got me to go talk to my ob/byn last Friday. I love my children more than anything and I don’t want to hurt them like this anymore. I don’t want them to grow up and remember mommy screaming and yelling in their face, but I fear that they’re old enough that they will remember and that makes me so horribly sad and guilty and mad at myself…but I also have to realize and accept that it’s the PMDD that causes this. I have really good days too, when I’m proud of the mom that I am…but those bad days seem to take over my proud moments and I just feel like overall I’m failing. I love my husband too, but we haven’t had an intimate relationship in so long…first due to my pain, then after the hysterectomy, my pains been better, but my sex drive isn’t there. Maybe that’s because of hormones, or maybe it’s because my husband doesn’t know how to be affectionate and romantic with me, which, let’s face it…who could blame him after living with me these past 8 years. Well, we’ve been married 14 years, but the past 8 have been hard. We’d have talks about my issues. I’d bring it up, at how horrible I was to the kids, and he would, in trying to support me, tell me it’s o.k., that it’s hard taking care of the kids, they DO drive you crazy! They drive me crazy he would tell me. He would tell me that and then we wouldn’t do anything about my issues. I think he didn’t believe I had any issues that needed treatment. He just felt is was the stress of having children. Don’t rely on anyone else to tell you how you feel. If you feel out of control, and that your behavior is not normal…then trust yourself and make a doctor’s appointment before you spend 8 years yelling and screaming at your precious children and telling your husband that you love that maybe he should move out and get an apartment…(Yes, I told him that last week). Which was another realization that I need help.
