If the one at home is a little lazy and won't do it, you can go out and pick a fight with some alley cats.
Or try giving the cat a bath, that'll get you some scratches in places you can and can't reach.

I spent so many years. So many days. So many sleepless nights raising my kids as a single parent. It was all consuming. Every event in my life revolved around them in some way. Meal planning. PTA meetings. Discipline issues. Grades. Boys. Training bras and tampons. Acne and sibling rivalry. Then one day. POOF! They are all grown up and gone. Days that seemed to last only minutes now feel like weeks. Somethings not right! Arent I suppose to be taking care of someone? Something? I'm not sure how to label what I miss. But something or someone is missing!

Diet is so important for people with crohn's disease. Again, he does not handle it well. He eats terrible, smokes, drinks coffee! Everything a person with the disease is not supposed to do, he does. OTOH, he has a hard time eating veggies due to the osteotomy, but he could do baby food. People that sucessfully manage illnesses are organized and responsible. My bro isn't. Either way, I'm going to check out The Maker's Diet and talk with him about it. He might be willing to listen if it's coming from another person with crohn's. Thanks!

I just met someone yesterday that has a 23, then 17 yr old then a 1st grader; I guess it can be done if you want. Although, a girl is not guaranteed and you could get another boy but you would know exactly what to do with him. Good luck!

Money.

More Money is what's exactly missing from my life, and would make my life more complete in everyway. There isn't anything you can't buy with the green. People who say money doesn't buy happiness are idiots. Try being unhappy on a waverunner...

I have a great life, amazing husband, great kid. I have a lot of great friends.
What's missing in my life is help. I wish I had more help with my child. We have no grandparents to help. I wish my mom was here.
Although I have tons of friends, I often feel lonely. I don't know why. Does anyone else feel that way?

Anyway - share and discuss.
I also have a great life, wonderful husband, and beautiful kids. I know what it is like not having family around to help but it gets better if you find a trustworthy sitter.
Missing: friends-haven't had much luck in that section and now we moved to a new area and it is hard to make new friends when people have "enough" friends already.

I hear you. We just moved to Florida from New York and I'm missing more friends.

this post touched my heart. I have 3 kids, all boys, and i too was disappointed not to have a girl. The joy I am just now discovering is that my sons (age 22, 22, and 24) are now bringing home lovely young women they are dating, and it is a delight to welcome these females into the family, and watch my sons with them.
