Saturday, June 06, 2009 | By mimi80

Thank you to everyone of you, your words really help me; Now, I know I have to work in the way I see myself. I would do it, IT IS SOO NICE TO LOOK EVERY DAY AND SEE THAT THERE IS SOME ONE ,LIKE YOU GUYS , THAT CARE. YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW ME AND YOU HELP ME IN THE WORST TIME THAT I HAVE HAD.
THANK YOU

You are right, everyone feels sad sometimes...you will get through it. It is hard, too, when our husbands don't understand. My husband is quiet and reserved and does not understand, and he does not talk about his feelings. I feel very sad and alone sometimes because of this. But he is patient and loves me faithfully. Stick with your marriage no matter what. Find out how important your life is right now as his wife, the mother of his child, and the nurturer of your household. (Check out nogreaterjoy.org) The advice you have been given is excellent and positive. You are the only one who can help yourself. Get yourself some support by getting involved with friends, church and family...and other positive groups and people. Do not hang out with people who are negative (including family), that will only worsen your identity and sadness. Look into groups like MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). They are a nationwide group for young moms. Take care of yourself and do what you need to do to be happy. You will still sometimes be sad, but remember right now you are taking care of a baby and that can be lonely at times, your hormones may be off balance. Seek the help you need, eat right, sleep right, take vitamins and do whatever it takes to be well. Find others who understand and will help to lift you up and encourage you. Avoid those that will keep you in the pits and leave you there. I have been where you are and understand. I have four children ages 19, 16, 14, and 11 and being a parent is hard work. You can do it and you will have better days...for your husband, your child, but especially for yourself. Do it for yourself first and things will fall into place. Be sure and make your home a marriage-centered environment for your family. Marriage first and then the children. And each day remember to be thankful.

I admire the lady the came up with the idea to decorate her craft room (could be a closet for all you know and she calls it her craft room) for a fraction of the cost. How do you know she bought those pearls and did not inherit them from a loving grandmother. Or even that she has a maid or a husband for that matter. Talk about snob-I think you should go look in the mirror and you will see a revearse snob. As far as her saying that about poor people shopping there I'm sorry and I don't mean to sound rude but I just don't believe that for one minute because anyone that shops at Walmart or Kmart realizes that they are not at an exclusive boutique and the Dollar store is about at the same level. Once again I am sorry but your post just hit me wrong. Being thrifty and frugal is not about getting into the poor me mindset but it is about living a better standard of living for less on whatever income.

Some family can be just like fish after a few days they start stinking. Just be proud she is not visiting to help you lift your spririts. And remember the skinny girls want to be curvy, the fat girls want to be skinny, the brunetts blond well you get my drift. Find your inner self and make yourself happy and it won't matter what mama says.

I had the same problem. Have the meat market cut packages in 1/2 and re-wrap each section. They do not charge any extra. I only buy one package of meat a week. I don't buy the same kind of meat each week. I alternate differnt kinds then I have a variety. I was having a problem with milk spoiling so now I'm buying mostly powdered milk and I buy a small carton for drinking. Typical Breakfast foods make a terrific dinner. We are also taking advange of coupons and eating out. For instance we might order 2 appetisers and 1 order of fries to share or we might share one entree' which is plenty of food. I aways ask for water when we eat out. We are not big into fast food we prefer to eat at restaurnts that bring out bread, roll & peanuts we find that it is about as economical.

Thanks for sharing! I use a Sprout bag which is less maintenance for those of us who tend to forget to rinse :)

I READ YOUR BLOG. DON'T BE AFRIAD TO GROW YOUR GARDEN. I DON'T BLANCE BECASUSE I WASH MY BEANS OR WHATEVER WHEN I TAKE THEM OUT OF THE FREEZER. THEY ARE NEVER STUCK TOGETHER AND YOU CAN US ONE BIG BAG AND JUST TAKE OUT WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT. CORN- I JUST SUCK AND FREEZE! I DO RINSE THE EARS TO GET THE SILK OFF. I PUT 3 EARS(3 IN MY FAMILY) IN A ZIP LOCK BAG SO WHEN WE WANT CORN I PUT THE BAG RIGHT IN THE MIRCOWAVE. I HAVE A FARM SO WE DON'T WASTE ANYTHING. MY CHICKEN LAY THE EGG AND WE DRINK THE MILK FROM OUR GOATS. THE GOAT WILL EAT THE EGGS SHELLS AND ANY LEFT OVER MILK I FREEZE FOR MY BABY GOATS OR OUR DOGS GET IT.

You've been given some great advice. I was once just like you. New baby, feeling down, husband not interested. Babies take a toll on marriages and the sex life. You have to understand that your husband is working on probably very little sleep. He's watched his wife change physically and emotionally. That too makes men feel different about sex after a baby. The important thing for you to do is to go on your daily life happy and proud. What you project to him will come back around to you. In other words, be happy and he'll want to be a part of that happiness too. It takes time and work to make a marriage succeed. He will have to make some changes too, but you can change your attitude and get the ball rolling.

In the mean time, do as suggested. Go to the doctor and talk about your depression and GET OUT SIDE and get some fresh air and walk. Clean the house to make your surroundings feel good, get busy being busy and you'll feel a lot better. Good luck!

i looked at your 15.00 baggie handler and i thought what a waste of money..you could probably make one of those out of a bendable coat hanger..

its cruel but i honestly think your mom means well...loose the weight over time and your spirits will up lift...you will look better and be healthier and be able to handle any crisis that falls your way..i was just diagnosed with diabetes i was wearing a 3x i am now down to a size large.. i am happier and healthier..my attitude is more positive..
