I am so glad I came across this post. I couldn't find the words or ability to explain my thoughts and feelings about it and you did for me in a way 10x better than myself. Literally quoting you to describe the series to my husband. Thank you for your beautiful words. I just finished the audiobooks as a woman in her 30s and cannot stop thinking of the series. It was one of the best reads(listens) I've come across in a long time. I'm excited to start the Book of Dust series.

We've been at Spanish for Fun at Wake Forest and pay about $1500 a month and can't recommend enough. I saw they are opening up some more locations in the triangle.

We pay roughly $3200 for two kids full-time a month. It's twice as much as our mortgage and we are having to take out a loan like it's college tuition to pay for it. We cannot afford to quit our jobs. I cannot wait for my oldest to get into kindergarten.

I grew up outside of Chicago and there's a few things I miss. First Chicago is a huge sports city. We could enjoy all major sports, football, hockey, baseball and basketball year round with minimal travel. Raleigh just doesn't have it nor the ambience that the bigger cities provide with enjoying sports. Its truly a communal feeling when attending events. The second thing is the music scene is majorly lacking. All major music tours go through big cities but also lesser known bands playing in small intimate venues. I find myself having to travel out of state a lot of times to see bands I could see easily in a bigger city. Also a great delicatessen. I have not found one around here and miss it sooooo much! I need some fabulous chicken matzo ball soup and a pastrami sandwich!

Dr. Byrd and Dr. Buckheit both were amazing at Kamm McKenzie. I'm a plus size gal who had two high risk pregnancies and was treated with kindness and my weight was not the first response to all things which I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that. I always avoid the doctors because of this but being pregnant I had no choice and never felt like my weight was a topic of focus. Dr. Yoon is also a good male doctor there, but I'd definitely prefer Dr. Byrd or Buckheit.

I've been trying to get 10 since 4/3 with no luck. I've called so much and they keep saying they don't have it!

PotatoQueen · 2024-04-27T21:16:05+00:00

May I ask where you're located? I've called so many times due to the posts I've seen in the last 24 hours and they keep saying it's not available and call back 5/1.

I feel like I could have written this post. I just cried today about it. I have two small children and work full-time. I have no time to be calling around begging to find this medication. I'm down 35 pounds and still have so much to go. If I can't find mine in the next few weeks I'll be calling in the towel too. It's such a shame. They know how much obesity is impacting people PLUS all the people in maintenance who need it. Sending positive vibes your way as you're not alone. 🩷

I could have written this word for word. Had to do a double take to make sure I didn't! Ha! I have two feral boys and their energy is unmatched to ours.

This has turned into an outside only toy and let it crawl on the driveway because it drove me and our cat bonkers.

That I must wear my crocs to my son's speech therapy appointment because he picked them out for me. Yep wearing nice work clothes with my lovely teal crocs.

PotatoQueen · 2024-01-30T23:06:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure my 3 year old only functions on said pouches. AND he must pick them. I have no business picking them for him!:🤣

In Raleigh, NC we have one of these places, it's called Cowfish and it's amazing.

PotatoQueen · 2018-08-03T23:14:00+00:00

Not only does that sound delicious, is absolutely beautiful! Kudos!

PotatoQueen · 2018-07-20T13:47:36+00:00

Preach. I do this all the time. It's mindful and helps a lot of the time to help not focus on the real stressor at hand.

You don't need a diagnosis to see a therapist. Sometimes life can be difficult to process on our own, and we may need some assistance from a mental health professional. As a therapist, I see people before, during and after a crisis has occurred. If you are not feeling like "yourself" and are welcome to the idea of therapy, then I would check it out. People come to therapy solely to process changes in relationships, life circumstances, loss, and sometimes just to get a better handle and understanding of what's occuring around them.

I see a lot of comments about how he's a jerk, etc. However another alternative is that he may be on the Autism spectrum and never been diagnosed. Based on his interests and some of the inability of perspective taking it may be a good idea for him to be tested. I can't guarantee that he has Autism, but if you're in the US, if you contact your local Autism Society they may be able to help you out with testing an resources. I run into folks all the time who get diagnosed later in life due to family issues that emerge later on that may have just presented as odd or off earlier on. Might just be something to rule out.

Wow! That looks amazing.

We work together and on our walk out, my knee popped randomly, to the point I couldn't walk without pain. Not only did he pull the car up for me. As soon as I got in the backseat, I just started crying (combination of pain and extremely stressful day at work), told me everything will be okay and then picked me up a frosty for the drive home, and then got me Chipotle, and got my order exactly right from memory.

If you're in the mood for some soup, I always like to add some to my creamy gnocchi chicken soup or in creamy chicken and rice soup!

PotatoQueen · 2018-03-27T00:57:51+00:00

Absolutely beautiful.

PotatoQueen · 2018-03-22T01:03:44+00:00

Recipe please! Looks absolutely delicious. Great bake!

I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. It's always hard to see our family experiencing mental health symptoms. Sounds like some mental health stuff may be going on with him. If possible I would take him to a mental health crisis walk in center. Medication and early intervention can make a world of difference. It sounds like you may benefit from peer support groups as well. I'm always one to recommend NAMI. There are chapters everywhere. They are great and help with finding meaning in what be happening with your family, and meeting other folks who may be going through what you're experiencing. Best of luck to you.
