Hey Kelley - it sure sounds like you have your hands full with that firecracker too.  I can't even imagine what it will be like when grandkids are in the making.

Hey Jazz,
 
Lord do I understand the MIL thing.  Mine is the same way, but not as rude about it.  But it is nothing for her to light a cigarette in the middle of my living room and smoke.  I never smoked in my house!!!  To tell her to put it out is a no no, it would be rounds of arguments.  That is just one example that you can visualize.  Very forward and always right.  Also thinks she is the parent to my children.  Look at me...now I am venting  Good for you for making it through such a stressful event.  Your a winner.

Hey Moss - nice to see you!  Thanks for popping in.  I think I'm going to wait a couple of more weeks and then make an appt. to go see the good Doc again.  I feel I need to get "me" back in order before we start any more testing.  I am still having some funny things going on, but is it possible that a lot of this was caused by overwhelming stress?  I have no clue....

THUMBS UP Jazz !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Good for you.  Sometimes you have to bite the bullet for the sake of your kids.  Hope the future doesn't bring to many challenges in the family situation.
 
On a side note. How have you been feeling?  Any more testing?

Mr. Q., you are bang on the money.  Many of our friends and family have said they wouldn't have blamed us if we'd started back up again.  They weren't encouraging it, but they know how rough it's been.  Thank being said, they're all tickled that we didn't.  Hi Lisa.  Yes the dealings are over with her, and I'll tell you a secret. She's not at the top of my Christmas list!!

Hi Jazz,
 
Sorry to hear about the MIL.  This can only prove that you are strong and determined enough to push through anything.  You could have easily told people that the stress was too much to handle, gone back to smoking, and not too many people would have given you a hard time about it; however, you didn't.  It takes a lot of guts to be in your shoes.
 
Now look at the situation.  You have a great son and a beautiful daughter and the world spins on.
 
Congratulations Jazz!  Keep up the great work.
 
Mr Q

DL, I would have paid good money to see you go a round with MIL.  I know you would have taken her down, but the build-up would have been fun to watch!!  Bonnie, thanks for your support as well.  I know it takes all kinds to make the world go around, but sheesh, not while planning a wedding!!  lol
