  1. Where do I find more information on homeschooling my two preschool aged children...I want it to be structured...I want them to be ready for school when the time comes....Just looking for some tips and maybe some help on where to find info and workbooks, or worksheets, curriculum ideas and all that good stuff....thanks
  2. Didn't mean anything by saying Ladies....just was posting on the RS and Womens Issues forum...just wanted some opinions...not trying to irritate anyone....
  3. I have had three beautiful little girls all delivered by c-section...gained some weight over those 4 1/2 years...now I have lost about 40 pounds...and let me tell ya...the tummy that I complained about ten years ago, I would kill for today...that is all I want back....I just want to feel good about the way I look....
  4. thanks ladies for your comments....I think it is hard for men to understand how it makes us feel to look one way and then have beautiful babies and then look completely different...I do not think that plastic surgery is a cure-all....My husband and I are very happily married...he just gets discouraged that I can't take a compliment...I don't know yet if I will get a tummy tuck or not...it is a big decision...that my husband and I will make together....thanks for your help
  5. I don't seperate any elective plastic surgery from another...I only wonder about tummy tucks simply because that is the only procedure I would have done...I do worry about my family and friends telling me how selfish these things are, that is one of my main concerns...
  6. He just wants me to be happy...whatever makes me more comfortable with myself he is supportive of...truth be told it seems that my insecurity is causing issues for us...If he says "you look nice today" I say "no i don't" and it is getting old to him....he does worry that if I got a tummy tuck then I would have a scar to make me feel bad about my tummy....
  7. I am having some serious insecurity issues and my tummy is one of the reasons...I had three c-sections in a little over four years and my appendix out in the middle of all of that...my tummy needs work:o I was born a worrier and I always worry about the risks vs. the good that it would do me....but it is something that I really want to do....
  8. what are you ladies' general feelings about plastic surgery...mainly tummy tucks??
  9. My cousin is struggling with a situation her nine year old daughter has...she has one foot that is a one and a half and one foot that is a three...that is quite a difference...I know that a slight difference is common, but does anyone have any experience with this much of a difference??? Just curious if you all have any advice about anyone that might sell her different size shoes...???
  10. You are so right...it doesn't matter why someone is struggling, they just are! Thanks...any other advice????
  11. I absolutely believe in God...that is not a question for me...I am struggling with beliefs of the church...as far as my testimony goes...that is a great question...I feel like at certain times I have had a testimony...wow, really great question...that is why I posted...I need to dig deep and answer that question...I think maybe I sort of assumed that I had a testimony, but now I am questioning it...I feel like I have just been going along...doing what people wanted me to do and what people told me to do. I know it is common for people to struggle and to doubt. I have watched a lot of people around me go inactive mainly to rebel, to go and do whatever they want, to be selfish. I don't understand people like that...if you believe why would you stray...And this is why I am having such a hard time...I do not want to go rebel and just be able to do whatever...I want to figure out what I believe...I don't want to mess up my kids and I want to figure this out before I do. I hope all of that made sense...again..thanks
  12. I am not really sure what it is that I mean...I am struggling to figure out what my beliefs are, I am not sure that I really believe that the church is true...I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore...I think I am feeling like I need to find out who I am and what I really believe before I can take an active role at church again...I asked to be released from my calling two weeks ago...I feel like I shouldn't be teaching my children anything (other than reading scriptures with them and making sure that they know how much I love God, and saying our prayer) because I am not sure what I believe... I appreciate the advice from everyone...
  13. That is just it...I thought that by reading more scriptures and being more diligent in saying my prayers I would have my answer...but I have only become more confused...I am getting answers to issues that I have had for years...but about church I just feel like I have been pretending for years...I was baptized only seven years ago and I feel like it has been a whirlwind since...from one calling to the next, to the temple because my husband and I were told that is what we needed to do and so we did...I feel like I have been living a lie...UUUGGGGHHHHH....I wish I had the answers...
  14. Due to some recent events in my life I have seemed to lose all of the desire I have to go to church and to be involved with church...I feel like for the last five or so years I have just been going thru the motions, doing what I thought was expected of me, what I thought would keep my family on the straight and narrow, what I thought would make me happy. Instead my family has struggled, I have seemed to push many of the important people in my life away, and I have struggled with depression (I am just now willing to admit that). I don't know who I am, I don't have a clue what I really believe, and looking around all I see is that everyone who contributed to me having a desire to take the discussions and be baptized is gone inactive...and has nothing to do with the church. I don't know what to do...I don't know how to explain some of these things to my kids...my oldest is six and I don't know what to do... To make me question myself even more, since I have started feeling this way I have been absolutely strict about having family prayer and reading scriptures as a family...and I feel more in touch with God than I have in awhile...I there are members of my ward that know a little about my struggles that I am having and I feel judged...all I hear about is how satan is really working on me and how I just need to stay strong. I also feel like part of the reason I have tried to stick with the church and do what I thought was expected is so all of the people who told me I was making a mistake when I got baptized can't say "I told you so..." and that is not a good enough reason anymore... I would love some advice...thanks
  15. this is my first time looking on this forum and I was actually going to post about this very topic...I started jogging in March and changed my eating habits...I had lost about 35 pounds...until recently...I have had trouble not eating everything in site and have lost my desire to jog or workout, I have gained about 5 pounds back and counting...I need to get back up and get started again...but how???
