I have been very depressed about my husband for a while now and I guess it is time to hold my chin up and figure out just what I am going to do. This afternoon I have decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and start thinking of my child. I am still sad, but I know I am a strong person who will be able to handle it. I actually feel better since I have realized Matt wants out of the marriage and I am done trying to hold on to something that isn't going to last and is making us both unhappy. And it is effecting our son, and he is the most important person in the world and we need to think of him first.
Now I need to figure out what the next step is going to be. I haven't a clue other then it will be one that is going to change our lives and hopefully for the better. I so love being married and being a family, but I also love being happy and seeing us all happy.
Through all of this I still cannot find it in me to hate or even really dislike Matt. I know he was been through a lot in his life and is depressed. I hope one day he will find the one thing that will make he happy. It doesn't make me proud to know that I am not that one thing, but I hope we will be able to stay friendly for our child. Adam is a wonderful little boy who loves everyone and he doesn't need both of his parents acting like children.

How can I be happy for christmas?
Christmas time ~ my favorite time of the year! sled bells ring, Frosty the snowman and santa. Presents under the tree, tinel everywhere! The holiday season of smiles and cheer, well I don't have it this year.
Instead it lose the wedding ring, ex husband to be and cheaters. Warcraft games and misery everywhere! The holiday season of tears and numbness.
I have to find a way to be happy and make it a time to remember for Adam. I put the tree up and the lights are on. We have some cute snowmen ornaments to put on, but do I unpack them or keep the boxes ready to go.
My husband took the weekend to spend with me and said maybe we can work it out and then when I came home Sunday from work, I was told that he changed his mind and wants to be able to play on the computer longer.
I would love to write a letter to this women from the game, not sure if I would send it but I would feel better. Matt and I have been talking and he doesn't care about my feeling so writing the letter to hiim would be a waist of time.
Has anyone gone there divorce? How did you do? Any advice on how to make it so Adam doesn't feel like it is his fault? Or how to make sure he isn't unhappy. I really want to be able to make the right choices for him and not think about my unhappiness and make the wrong choices. Any and all help ~ I would love.

I am sorry but I won't be on to much because....
My husband has been playing the game war of warcrafts for like a year now and he loves it. within the last couple of months he has been playing with a group of the same people and he is on the thing all night. At first he tells me he will be getting texts from people in the group to let him know when to be on do to runs (whatever runs are?????) so, okay whatever.
Then I went to answer he phone for him because he was busy and didn't get it in time. So, he asked me to look to see who it was (it was his dad) but I noticed a lot of called from someone named Lyndi. I asked who it was and he said someone on the game. I then asked why they were having long conversations on the phone. He said it was only to tell when to play. So, I asked, how long does it take to tell the time and why are you talking on the phone with some women all the time?
Then he says she needs him. They are really good friends and she doesn't have any friends off the game and needs to talk because her husband beats on her. I got pissed and told him that was wrong and he shouldn't be talking with her. And that she should get off the computer go out in the real world and make some friends and get help. Her talking to my husband was going to solve her problems. So, he told her that he wasn't going to talk to her on the phone anymore and that they should just play the game and keep it about the game. (well, this is what he told me he said, and like a big ass I believed him)
A few days later he is talking about the big group getting together to have a convention to play the game together. I don't understand that star trek shit either. He said it's just a bunch of people playing on their computer in the same room as a team against others. So, we will be paying $500.00 or more for him to go to another state to play a game on our computer??????????????
As he is getting stuff organized with the trip that he will be going on at the beginning of February, he say there are only going to be 7 of them and one is that girl. And she was telling him which hotel was the best. If you are talking to her how did you get the information from her I ask?? He said, well we talk sometime, I love talking to her and the way she treats me. What, you don't know her or even what she looks like, heck maybe she isn't even a girl? And he said, oh we talk on the game now with the microphones and she sound like a girl. We argued a little more. sorry out the butt, but is still going and really wants to be able to continue talking with her, she needs him. I said then pack your shit and move in with her and her husband.
Finally, things back to normal, so I thought and then out of the blue last night my husband wants to separate and live in the basement. Tell me all kinds of stuff that is wrong with our relationship and that he isn't good enough for me and just needs to let me go. For hours he went on and on. I had a terrible time sleeps and get up to pay the bills online and my laptop isn't on my desk. I went downstairs and guess what he is talking to that B***H on the computer!!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked for the computer and he said he would bring it up to me and he has to finish. I said no, I will wait for him to get done. He said no, I will bring it up I need to finish what I am going on here. I asked are you talking to her. No, no I'm not talking to her, I promise. Just go upstairs and I will be up in a minute to talk to you. I said, you are lieing, give me the computer now! So, I go to get it and he said, hey, I have to go ~ I am log out now and hurried and hit the button before I could see. And I asked again and he said yes, he was talking to her about our problems and she told him to stay with me and work it out because she wasn't leaving her husband. So, then he changing his tune and wants to be a big happy family and for me to forget everything that has happened. I don't think I can.
I am typing this so fast I am sure I left out half of the information, but I am crying to hard to read it over to check. I just don't know what to do and I don't know if I can ever trust him again.
We are both going to take a week off from the computer and see if we can work this out. I am not sure what to do, I am so confused.

My review of the Glade® Sense & Spray™ Automatic Freshener
I am a Bzz Agent and this is one of the great products I was able to review for them!
Get long-lasting freshness only when you need it with the first motion-activated air freshener from Glade. The Glade sense & spray Automatic freshener is in one word awesome! I put it in my bathroom and whenever the light is turned on it gives a spray of fresheness.
How does it work? The unit automatically sprays fragrance when the sensor detects motion, then locks for 30 minutes to conserve the refill. (I love that it locks for the 30 minutes ~ to save the fragrance from being used up to quickly) Of course, if you need an instant burst of Glade® fragrance at any time just press the boost button on the front of the unit and you're set.
Glade® Sense & Spray™ motion-activated freshener is definitely the smart way to keep your home smelling fresh. It's easy to set up and easy to use. All you have to do is insert the refill canister in the sleek spray unit, pull the red tab to activate the batteries, place it where you need it and forget about it. Glade® Sense & Spray™ motion-activated freshener will take care of the rest!
Glade says that the spray will last about 30 days, but mine it still going strong! I will be buying the refills and continuing to use this product because it works everytime!
Getting started
The Glade® Sense & Spray™ motion-activated freshener starter kit has everything you need to, you know, get started. It has a suggested retail price of $8.99 and includes:
One smart spray unit
One refill canister (Clean Linen™, Clear Springs® or Apple Cinnamon scent)
2 AA batteries
This is an awesome product that I love!!! My bathroom has never smelt so fresh and clean. My family came over for a party and everyone wanted to know what I was using and I explained that it was the Glade Fragrance spray and told them how it works and how wonderful the bathroom has smelt with 2 boys in my home and two of my sister went out and bought them.
I am going to get another one for the family room! I think everyone should have one in the bathroom!! :)
Thanks and I hightly recommend this product and thank Bzz for the opportunity to review the product!!!!

Arts and Crafts Boo ~ boo!
We were making crafts to give for Christmas presents and my son cut his finger and ran around saying I got a boo - boo, mommy. Like a hundred times. He isn't bleeding anymore, but is mad at the scissors like it's the scissors fault. He is so cute. I hope he will use the scissor without being afraid he will cut his finger again. I think he'll be okay ~ his a boy :)

Let’s get this party started! We’re jumping right in – today is CHRISTMAS CARD day. We have some great samples, and, of course, something fun for you to do – our 30-Minute CARD Challenge.
Goals of the 30 minute challenge:
■ To encourage you to focus your efforts on actually making cards rather than searching for card ideas and supplies!
■ To help you realize that if you start your cards NOW, you’ll actually be able to finish and send them this year.
■ To help you overcome the perfectionism that stifles creativity. You really can make great cards in only 30 minutes!
So here’s what you do:
1. Look at our all of our fun card ideas – you can even print your favorites to refer to later.
2. Gather your supplies (you won’t need a lot).
3. Set your timer for 30 minutes.
4. MAKE some cards. Work fast!
5. Post a photo of your finished cards on your blog. Add a comment to this blog post with a link to your blog. We can’t wait to see what you make in 30 minutes! Of course there will be a prize or two involved for participants!

The Princess and the Frog!!!!!!
The Princess and the Frog is an animated family film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, which is loosely based on E.D. Baker's novel The Frog Princess. I love this story as a child and can not wait to watch the movie!!!!
A prince named Naveen (Bruno Campos) from the land of Maldonia[6] is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo magician Dr. Facilier (Keith David). The frog prince mistakes a girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) for a princess and has her kiss him to break the spell. However, the kiss doesn't break the spell, but instead turns Tiana into a frog as well. Together, the two of them must reach the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, Mama Odie, while befriending a trumpet-playing alligator and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way. The film will open in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on November 25, 2009 before expanding into wide release on December 11, 2009
I love that the kiss doesn't break the spell and that is turns the girl into a frog. I love how they changed the story, put a little twist on it. I will be going to the movie theather the night it opens with my family. I might be 38 years old, but I am one of Disney's biggest fans!!!!!

What makes me a Theta Mom!
I have been tagged by Theta Mom, http://www.thetamom.com/ I am to share five experiences that have helped to shape me into a Theta Mom (The True, Authentic Mom).
1. My son has had a lot of problems with his ears and hearing. Which has made him behind on his speech. Since he last surgery we have been working really hard to teach him new words and to help him to talk more. I feel really bad when he is trying to communicate something and we don't understand, and it frustrates him a lot!
2. When my son was a baby everytime we'd go into Walmart he would start screaming and crying for no reason. People would follows us around asking if he was okay. As soon as we'd walk out the crying would stop. It was the strangest thing, but we learned to do different things to try to get him to not cry. The best one was to go right before lunch and let him eat while we quickly ran around and got all the grocery. We learn to shop fast then, but now he asks to go to Walmart all the time.
3. School was/is a huge learning experience for me and my husband. When we put our son into pre k thinking he would be well taken care of and wasn't ~ well that was a huge eye opener about the system. And then we took the time so go out and find the best school with caring teachers. We are so happy for him to start school this week and we are hoping he loves it!!!
4. I think the biggest thing that made me a true Authentic Mom was the fact that my husband didn't want kids at the time we got pregnant and wasn't there for our son as much, so I did everything. I got so used to being the parent that did it all that when my husband desided he was ready to be a parent it was hard at first to let him. Now it is awesome to have a partner who wants to help and also wants to be there for his son.
5. I always knew I wanted to be a parent and growing up I wanted tons of kids. But my husband only wants one and will not change his mind on the subject at all! As I grow closer to my 40s I don't think I want to be pregnant again, especially seeing one of my older sister going through it and listening to all her new pains. I am now content to being a mom of one child. And I am able to stop treating him like a baby and let him be an older child. He is a really good son who is always making me laugh and I enjoy hanging with. He is very inventive and loves doing goofy things to get his dad and me laughing!!!!
Being a Mother is the most rewarding and fun job I've ever had!! And I look forward to what the future brings.
So now I am to challenging the following bloggers as well as any fabulous reader of my blog to grab this tag and post some experiences that have helped to shape YOU as a Theta Mom! I would love for you to play along, so go grab the tag and let's get this party started! Don't forget to tag other Theta Mom bloggers and challenge them as well. I can't wait to read what you come up with!

Gap is excited to announce the launch of its annual Casting Call in partnership with Disney Family.com - a site that provides inspiration and ideas for parents on a variety of topics important to today's families. Gap invites parents nationwide to enter babies (ages four and under) and kids (ages five to 10) into the Casting Call for a chance to be featured in the store windows of babyGap and GapKids in February 2010. Additionally, the winners will receive a VIP experience for four at Disney's THE LION KING in either New York or Las Vegas.
This year, we're also introducing the Fan Favorite, which gives your little stars a chance to win a seven-day/six-night family vacation to either Turks & Caicos or Jamaica from Beaches Resorts - The Luxury Included® Family Vacation.
How it Works:
Entries will be accepted from September 22 - October 22, 2009. Once the entry period closes, a panel of judges will narrow down all of the entries received to 20 finalists (five baby boys, five baby girls, five boys, and five girls). Those finalists will star in a professional Gap photo shoot the week of November 16, 2009. On December 7, 2009, the finalists will be announced on www.gap.com/castingcall and will be voted on by the public until December 21, 2009. The four children who receive the most votes (one from each of the categories) will be announced as the winners on February 1, 2010.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but my son has had a terrible week!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son started school (pre K) on Monday and he had terrible separation Anxiety!!! The teachers said that he would be fine, it would take a few days of crying and he would be better. He had never been to day care or babysat, only with me and my husband. He just turned five and this was subpost to be a wonderful advent in his life, but it was more like hell.
Monday when I went to pick him up they said he wouldn't eat breakfast so one of the teacher took him into a room by himself and trying to make him eat. Then he took his shoes off and one teacher held him down while another teacher forced them back on him. They said he cryed all day and try to get out of the door. When I walk into get him, adam trying to grab one of the teachers hands and she pushed him away and then walked away from him.
Tuesday he would go potty in the school, because they yelled at him Monday for getting some of his on the floor. Three teachers grabbed him and forcefully made his wash his hands, because at 11 am everyone just washes their hands for no reason really. He still cryed all day long. The teacher said he needed to much adult supervision and she cryed that adam and another boy cryed to much for their moms. Whenever we'd drop him off he was screaming that he was scaried of the teachers.
He began having nightmares ~ crying in his sleep no no please mommy help me.
Wed. I wasn't allowed in the classroom, so I was worried about him and decided to go sit in the parking lot to listen to the class room. I heard my son screaming ~ mommy, I want my mommy!!! And then I heard one of the teachers yelled, well, she's not coming, so give it a break!
I was so pissed that I went right in and took my son out of the school. He starts another school this next week! I hope he isn't to scared and they said my husband and I could stay with him until he is comfortable. There are a tons of other things that happened bad, but these were the worst.
