    A week off, whether I wanted it or not....

    I've had a week off also and finally today am going to get back at it. DH was in the hospital with strep cellulitis from Christmas Eve through Tuesday and I haven't slept much the rest of the week. Thankfully, he's home and recovering and now I can get back to real life! Colleen

    Conceiving and working out?

    It seems to me that a problem has already been diagnosed so I'm not sure why your DH thinks you working out is the problem. If it were me, I'd probably go have a full check-up to make sure there weren't any other problems since it looks like only he was checked out. Colleen

    Need some tips - FAST

    You might google Zicam first. Last year or the year before there were various lawsuits against it. A lot of people had a permanent loss of sense of smell. I used it for a week and it worked great, but then I saw all the lawsuit info and started worrying and quit using it. Colleen

    Zicam????

    I used it a few days and it worked and then I read studies that showed people had experienced a permament loss of smell from using it. I was using the nasal spay. Many lawsuits were ongoing so it freaked me out. I'm a stress queen tho. Colleen

    Frustrated....HELP!!!!

    Normally, I save it until free day. For the holidays, I give myself a little extra freedom. AFTER I eat my meal, I'll have a small piece or bite of something. Maybe a few times a day, but that's it. Colleen

    Marriage update

    Is he willing to work on the relationship at all? DH and I really had our struggles even when we both were trying to work on things. I don't know if we would hve made it if he wasn't willing to try. I think I would have just given up then. I do think a counselor can be very helpful in...

    Reflections of 2005

    2005 has been a very tough year for me, but that being said: DH and I finally bought our first house, our own real-live house and are no longer renting. A dream of ours for awhile so that was nice.
