That is awesome!!

that is what he wants - for you to just drop it.

Huge project and not much time. Have fun - I still enjoy my kitchen. I went with Silestone countertops because they don't require any maintenance. I'm happy with them so far.

My freezer was FULL of food before Christmas. Then I bought things I "might" want for Christmas - including a cherry pie which is still in the freezer. I really need to keep eating more from the freezer. I did us a pound of stew meat this week. Next week will be something chicken - not sure what yet.

I hope your baby is fine. Agree with your decision for both of you to start counseling. Hopefully your husband's work partner can steer him in the right direction.

Praying

sounds like this is being a very good vacation for both of you

Sounds like you are doing well - how is Levi doing? Is there a homeless shelter or group serving Thanksgiving dinner where you can volunteer?

I agree that counseling is a good idea. Any way to increase income or decrease expenses?

Freedom, you are making great steps towards "freedom"! Keep up the good work!

I'm glad he is going to be OK

I'm so sorry - and it is worst when the "mom" of the house is sick!
