The problem with blogs, Twitter, Facebook and every other social network is that they are all 2D forms of communication. You have no way to tell if a person is being sincere or sarcastic or funny. You read the words and with whatever mood you are in you interpret what they are saying, for example:
You tell (type) someone "your house is nice."
Good Mood: Oh wow, thanks. That is so nice of you to think that.
Bad Mood: What? Just nice? Who in the heck do you think you are? You think your house is better, why of course you do. :)
See the difference?
For future, for any of you who think you have had it worse than me or feel like I have no room to complain please send it to me in an email, and don't leave information that is not only private, but was wrong on my very public blog. My email is barbaracharon [at] yahoo [dot] com I return emails usually within a few hours, I am lickedly fast like that :)
Thanks to all those who know all I needed was a "you can" and because of those "you cans" I know that "I will!" The hardest part about yesterday is the condition it left the relationship between my husband and I. I love him more than life and we are going through so much more than what is normally on our plate right now. We are a team. Eternity is a long time and for that purpose I want to preserve the relationship with him and his family. I love my inlaws more than any of you know or speculate to know (now I am not crazy about Kingman--that is no secret--and if you want to know why, email me and I'll give you the reasons, which have to do with my children 's medical care).
So please, please, if you need to talk to me, email me. It's better that way.
Today is the first day in a long time I was scared to check my blog. I love having this outlet, after all it is MINE. (as in Me, Myself and I) I can type my feelings without having someone try to out-do me with what I felt were things, that in 2D writing looked innocent, but in my 3D stressed-out and overwhelming life, hurt a lot.
Ok, I feel like I can sleep again. Thanks for listening. Postive messages on my comments are ALWAYS encouraged.
Love,
Barb

I don't know why people always have to be so negative and leave rude comments (or whatever it was you got). Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time.
I hope it all gets better soon.
I don't know what the negative comment was, but know that the majority of us only want the best for the you and your family. Hang in there, the stresses you are under will pass, just keep holding on to hope.
you will win the race. :) I know it. LOVES!
thinking of you! ;)
I am sorry that this is such a rough time for you Barb. We will keep you in our prayers.
Ugh, moving always sucks...I'm sure it's even harder with 3 kids. Good luck...so I stayed at a KOA camp once in Kingman...and went bowling. Bowling is always fun:) At least you'll have that!
Sending good vibes your way! Alligator can't wait for you to get here. :)
Barb, I have this book that I think you need. It's called "How to handle the stress OF..being a mom, being a wife, dealing with a husband in full time school and then a husband trying to get into graduate school, having a heart condition, still trying to be an active member and teach your kids the gospel...WITH CLASS. (did I leave anything out) Anyway I think you could use it. And then after you've read it and mastered it then you can hang out with the rest of us, BECAUSE we must all be perfect ;)
There now wasn't that FUN!
Jill.
I love you! Thanks friend. Thanks for trying to lift me up instead of tear me down. I miss you!
