He has gotten mean and irritable. It is really bad, it is to the point that he had to do something about it or it was going to overtake our lives. I feel like I dont even know him anymore. That husband comes out every once in a while, but everyday PTSD is taking a part of my husband away. He needs help! And I need this break, I am emotionally exhausted! He is just not himself anymore, numb to emotion...I see a coldness in his eyes. I feel as if he wants nothing to do with me or our family anymore. I am scared. I would love some advice from anyone! I am scared my marraige is going to end if he does not get better! I just want my husband back! I know deep down he does too!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love you all!

Of course I was more than happy to go because they live about and hour and a half away and this was a chance to spend time with them and get a break from my mother in laws house.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So I go and I figured I would stay for about a week. My husband clearly aware of my plans. So on Sunday as I was packing my things to head home, I get a text from my sister in law saying: "Hey...<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">don't</span> wanna get into your business, but maybe you should think about coming home. Adam could really use your help." Now tell me if I am crazy, but I was irate! She had the nerve to tell me I should come home and help my husband as if he was incapable of telling me himself. My husband and I are adults and will decide when I come home! It was none of her business when I came home! </div><div><br /></div><div>And I called her...we had our words, and I hung up on her after I was called the "B" word! {<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Didn't</span> want to type it out <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">in case</span> there are little ones eyes around!}</div><div><br /></div><div>When my husband called to confront her and tell her that she had no right butting in our business, she proceeded to tell him that our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">marriage</span> has problems! WHAT!?!?! News to me! </div><div><br /></div><div>Mind you, this is the sister in law that just got married, the one I helped do the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Bachelorette</span> party, wedding stuff, paint her house, babysit her kids and dog, etc.etc... and she still has yet to offer helping us do anything to ours!</div><div><br /></div><div>I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">don't</span> know what to do! I hate confrontation, and drama! I really think people should mind their own business...I would never have done that to her or anyone for that matter. I am not that type of person! I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">don't</span> know what to do. If I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">don't</span> move into that house soon {which by the way is 2 houses down from hers} and out of my mother in laws house, I am going to freak out and go on a crazy rampage!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Wow! That feels good to vent! Oh and by the way I stepped on a nail today, it went threw my shoe into my heal, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">doesn't</span> feel the greatest!</div><div><br /></div><div>So might I say that I am so stressed out! From this house to my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Etsy</span> orders. I should have waited to start my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Etsy</span> store! I really did not think that I would be selling so much! Not that it is a bad thing but when I am working on orders and not my house, people think I am just sitting around crafting!?! I wish!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sorry about the long post....we all know sometimes we just need it!</div><div><br /></div><div>Please let me know if anyone else is lucky enough to have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">in laws</span> like mine!?!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/40/2553CF45AF9C66CCD924FB8D64FA7E0F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>DomesticDivasFancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081192051502469495noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533194894963759977.post-42933726417715675472009-05-26T17:56:00.004-04:002009-05-26T20:46:10.363-04:00And the winner is...<div style="text-align: center;">The winner of my Favorite things Giveaway is... <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Kim</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"> at</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"> </span></span><a href="http://4crazykings.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">4 Crazy Kings</span></span></a>, as soon as I receive shipping information for her I will get the mystery suprize box filled with $50.00 worth of goodies.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She was #31 - From Random.Org!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Run and tell her congratulations, dont forget to follow her blog to see what is in my Mystery Giveaway box.</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/40/2553CF45AF9C66CCD924FB8D64FA7E0F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>DomesticDivasFancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081192051502469495noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533194894963759977.post-16866377812156447432009-05-16T06:52:00.009-04:002009-05-26T17:58:07.133-04:00100th Post Giveaway<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg97jz9nDiI/AAAAAAAABSs/2t8JSm68uWY/s1600-h/package.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg97jz9nDiI/AAAAAAAABSs/2t8JSm68uWY/s400/package.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336619938631585314" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">You will know what the photo above mean if you read below...</div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg9zieIV0DI/AAAAAAAABSk/xK3SaTC9p5g/s400/Saturdays+Scrapper.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 204px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336611119498121266" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg9zicme4LI/AAAAAAAABSc/BldWS5rH44I/s1600-h/CraftOrganizer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg9zicme4LI/AAAAAAAABSc/BldWS5rH44I/s400/CraftOrganizer.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336611119087673522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg9ziPNCqhI/AAAAAAAABSU/oWojToe7b_s/s1600-h/corinne-delis-room3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/Sg9ziPNCqhI/AAAAAAAABSU/oWojToe7b_s/s400/corinne-delis-room3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336611115491306002" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Saturdays scrapper...sorry it is such a late and short scrapper post.

Seal, then mash until they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up, mixing thoroughly. Cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done for easy clean up Expanding </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Frosting When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per serving.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Reheat Pizza Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove. Set heat to med-low and heat until warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Reheating refrigerated bread To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Newspaper weeds away Start putting in your plants. Work the nutrients in your soil. Wet some newspapers, put layers of the papers around the plants overlapping as you go. Cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic but they will not get through wet newspapers. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Broken Glass Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces ofglass. The fibers catch ones you can't see! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">No More Mosquitoes Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> Squirrel Away! To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Bikes If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Flexible vacuum To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge, add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Reducing Static Cling Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and - voila - static is gone. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Measuring Cups Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup…fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter and watch how easily it comes right out. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Foggy Windshield? Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Reopening envelope If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Conditioner Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair... </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Goodbye Fruit Flies To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it one-half with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Get Rid of Ants Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," and can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed! Take baby powder to the beach Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you’re ready to leave the beach, sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.<br /></div><div align="left">Use a dryer sheet for cleaning Use a dryer sheet to clean electronic items like TV, Computer Screen etc. it takes the dust off and helps repel dust.<br />Peppermint water helps upset bellies Peppermint water is great for upset bellies!! Especially for babies... 1/2 to 1 peppermint in an 8oz bottle. Babies love it and it calms them down!<br /></div><div align="left">Got stinky pits? Got underarm B.O. that even the deodorants won't get rid of? Try this: put a slice of raw, white potato under each armpit, keep it there for a few minutes, then toss the tater slices in the trash, rinse your underarms, apply deodorant, and the B.O. will disappear! Laugh if you want, but, IT WORKS!!<br /></div><div align="left">Want that "Windex" shine for less? Use an unused coffee filter to clean glass. It doesn't leave lint or streaks.<br /></div><div align="left">Have a serious pet hair problem? To rid your vehicle of pet hair, use the rubber side of a "squeegee" (a windshield cleaner). It will scrape all the hair up in a ball and allow you to pick it up. This helps b/c I can never just vacuum all the pet hair up. You can use this method on your seats and carpet.<br /></div><div align="left">The Heinz 57 trick When attempting to get ketchup out of a glass bottle in a restaurant, you simply need to aim the bottle at your plate and hit the number 57 with the palm of your hand. The "57" should be where the bottle widens up. It is just a raised up number. Trust me; it works.<br />Boil Cure Cover the boil with Hunt’s Tomato Paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.<br /></div><div align="left">Flu Achy Muscles Mix 1 tablespoon of horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.<br /></div><div align="left">Splinter Remover Pour a drop of Elmer’s Glue-All over the splinter, let dry and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter will stick to the dried glue.<br /></div><div align="left">Bug Killer If menacing bees, wasps, hornets or yellow jackets get in your home and you can’t find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.Shower Cleaner for Pennies 3 parts water to 1 part bleach for tile cleaner PLUS 1TB of vinegar for soap scum. Just spray after shower and walk away. Cheaper than buying already made at the store.<br /></div><div align="left">Easy Ice Pack If you need an ice pack for a bruise or swelling, here's one that's cheap, easy, and mess-free... use a package of frozen veggies. Then, just throw them back in the freezer when you're done.<br />Want to Look Like a Spring Chicken? Use egg whites on your skin! They harden pimples to get rid of them faster, and they're also cheap and convenient!<br /></div><div align="left">Tired of Buying Glass Cleaner? Try air freshener! Just spray it on mirrors or windows. It does a great job and leaves behind a beautiful fragrance!<br /></div><div align="left">Got a Headache? Cut a lime in half and rub it on your forehead. Throbbing goes away instantly!<br /></div><div align="left">Dirty Dishwater Works Miracles on Your Houseplants This is an old-time Florida trick! Use your dirty dish water to water your plants! Not only are you conserving water, the soap acts as a pH balancer and the little bits of food left behind act like fertilizer for the plant! Happy gardening!<br /></div><div align="left">Hate Drippy Ice Cream Cones? Keep ice cream from dripping out of the bottom of your ice cream cone by putting 2 miniature marshmallows in the bottom of the cone before scooping in the ice cream!<br /></div><div align="left">Find Out If Your Power's Gone Out While You Were... If you're going out of town for any length of time, put a small bowl of ice cubes in your freezer. When you come home, if the cubes are melted in the bowl, you'll know the power was out for a long time and you need to check on your food.<br /></div><div align="left">Dull Pins and Needles? If you are using a needle or safety pin and it becomes dull, run it through your hair. It sharpens it right up! Another nice trick (and a wonderful keepsake) is to make a pun cushion from your children's hair clippings.<br /></div><div align="left">Pet Hair Stuck in a Brush? Run the brush under cold water, turn over, and tap. Fur comes out in one hunk to be thrown away.<br /></div><div align="left">Want Streak-Free Windows? Clean with water-soaked newspaper. Dry with dry newspaper. Streak-free!<br /></div><div align="left">Stinky Car Carpet? Place a bar of Irish Spring soap underneath the seat! The bar of soap absorbs moisture and odor.<br /></div><div align="left">Want Sparkling Silver? Even if you think it's beyond repair, scrub it with some toothpaste! It will shine right up! And on pieces with a lot of detail, use a toothbrush.<br /></div><div align="left">Get Rid of Ant Piles! Sprinkle some Gains laundry powder on them and they won't come back!<br /></div><div align="left">How About An Easier-To-Clean Kitchen? When you're baking, spray "no-stick" spray (like Pam) over the door or rack of your dishwasher for easier clean-up. Spraying the sink helps, too! You won't have to scrub the areas you've sprayed.<br /></div><div align="left">Look No Further Than Your Medicine Chest for Cheap Carpet Cleaner... Use cheap, generic shaving cream. Spray it on the areas you need to clean, then wipe with a brush or cloth. Works at home and in the car!<br />Out of Bleach and Need to Disinfect? Peroxide works to clean and disinfect better and more safely than bleach. A capful of peroxide to a spray bottle of water works wonders!<br /></div><div align="left">Get Rid of Aches and Pains on the Cheap... Make a rice bag! Take a clean sock and full it with rice (not instant). Tie it off and microwave for 10 seconds. Great for your neck or back and works wonders for cramps, ladies!<br /></div><div align="left">Love bugs Be Gone!!! Take a new - not used - dryer sheet. Wet it. It will wash those love bugs off your car with little effort!<br /></div><div align="left">Want to Cool Your Car More Quickly? When you get into your hot car, always lower your back windows or open the rear van windows. This will allow cool air conditioning to push the hot air out!<br /></div><div align="left">Get Those Sneakers Dry Fast! The quickest way to dry your sneakers out is to stuff newspaper in them.

Use Skin-So-Soft from Avon or WD40 to get the itch out.<br /></div><div align="left">Wasp Stings HURT...

It will stop the sting and you won't even be able to tell where you got stung by the next day!<br /></div><div align="left">Got Stains? Skip the bleach. Soak spots on clothing in a mixture of detergent-water and baking soda, then put the clothes outside on a sunny day. Let Mother Nature do the rest!<br /></div><div align="left">Simple, Natural Cleaners... Coffee filters make great eyeglass cleaners. Just rub it over the lenses. Vinegar and water makes great mirror and window cleaner. Put alcohol in a spray bottle and spray on your kitchen counters. Keeps ants away.<br /></div><div align="left">Natural Swimmers' Ear Remedy... Use 1 part vinegar and 3 parts alcohol. Put a few drops in each ear to dry up the water inside of them.<br /></div><div align="left">Breathe Away Stress... keep lavender near your bed or wherever you relax.<br /></div><div align="left">Tummy Pains?

Fill a clean spray bottle with half vinegar and half water. Spray both sides of the meat, season, and cook in the oven or grill.<br /></div><div align="left">Whiter Teeth Made Less Expensive...

Pour frosting into larger end and squeeze out the smaller end.</div><div align="center"><br />*When your scissors get dull, I layer about 7 pieces of foil and cut through them, and the scissors are sharp once again. </div><div align="center"><br />*Ball up some foil and use it to clean the gunk off your grill .

We will be replacing the two smaller windows with one larger window.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/SdeiXwJQdPI/AAAAAAAABHI/iKF-HuIJRGg/s1600-h/PICT0686.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320900013705950450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/SdeiXwJQdPI/AAAAAAAABHI/iKF-HuIJRGg/s400/PICT0686.JPG" border="0" /></a>I am almost finished gutting the bathroom. I decided to tile the surround. When removing the wall behind the toilet we found an extra closet that the previous owners had blocked off!?! How stupid, the toilet will be moved back into the closet space and the vanity will be sitting in a closet that was in the hallway which is now blocked off and open to the bathroom.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/SdeiXdTi1_I/AAAAAAAABHA/sXIP2aQOrzE/s1600-h/PICT0684.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320900008648824818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/SdeiXdTi1_I/AAAAAAAABHA/sXIP2aQOrzE/s400/PICT0684.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here is another view of the newly moved stairs.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/SdeiXWKTXPI/AAAAAAAABG4/IEoBZUGcTYY/s1600-h/PICT0683.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320900006731013362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GBzyesp7ZEM/SdeiXWKTXPI/AAAAAAAABG4/IEoBZUGcTYY/s400/PICT0683.JPG" border="0" /></a> Again.

When the blueberries are dry, roll them in sugar(confectioners sugar works best).<br /><br />Grease a large 12 muffin tray or line it with foil liners.<br /><br />Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs until frothy.<br /><br />Gradually add the sugar and maple syrup and continue to beat for one minute.<br /><br />Stir in the applesauce, milk and vanilla.<br /><br />Mix together the dry ingredients.<br />Add the flour, baking powder, salt and stir batter only until the ingredients are incorporated.<br /><br />Do not overmix. Batter should remain slightly lumpy.<br />Divide the batter in half.<br /><br />Gently fold the blueberries into one half of the batter. Spoon the batter without the blueberries into the bottom third of each muffin cup.<br /><br />Top off with one third of batter containing blueberries. (One third off the cup remains empty for rising).<br /><br />Continue until all batter is used.<br /><br />Bake in a preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and the center springs back when gently pressed.<br /><br />Brush tops of each muffin with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse granulated sugar.<br /><br />*You can make coarse granulated sugar if you don't have any. Just put some cubes of sugar into a ziploc bag and rollover them gently with a rolling pin.<br /><br />Remove the muffins from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack for 10 - 20 minutes.<br /><br />Makes 12 muffins.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/40/2553CF45AF9C66CCD924FB8D64FA7E0F.png" /></a>DomesticDivasFancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081192051502469495noreply@blogger.com8
