I am having a little bit of a relapse with my medical issues and I am in pain right now (trigeminal nerve pain in my face). I hope I get better soon. But, my husband returned from his trip and he is kind (which is good because there are a lot of miserable jerks in this world). I feel sensitive when I am in this pain (which is a normal reaction and I don't take any meds for it), but if I cry it gets worse from the inflammation. Also we are taking care of the neighbor's cat. She was being extra lovable to me tonight. She isn't usually like that. Cats are sweet. Almost seemed like she knew I was in pain in my face.0

My father is the toughest man I know. He can almost slice a finger off, flick off the blood and keep going. But he had the trigeminel nerve pain in his face and it would bring him to tears. He had to take pain medication and finally surgery. The surgery was a tremendous success and he has been pain free ever since. They say it is the most intense pain there is. Have you looked into surgery?1 -
The surgery helps when the pain is caused by a nerve being compressed at the base of the skull (I think). I had a CT scan and they didn't see that in the scan. Mine was caused by medical injury. And it got better. It just recently started coming back. It's very painful. Like when it was at it's worse it was more painful than childbirth without pain meds. But, it's not that severe right now. I just sometimes have a little trouble coping when it doesn't let up. But, it does usually come and go. I think it will get better because it did before. Thanks! I am so sorry your father had to go through that. I know how bad it can get. I am glad the surgery was successful for him.0

I always feel better in the morning. It can increase through the day.
I think I will let my husband take the girls to the amusement park without me.
But, on Saturday night we are going to look at stars and planets with the astronomy club (invited by my dance partner). That will be fun. Funny coincidence that the woman that is my dance partner (in choreography for performance) wrote a paper about Binary Pulsars and sent it to me to ask my opinion. She doesn't know Binary Pulsar is my username on mfp. We get along so well. It's fun how some people just click so well and everything feels funner and easier together. That's why I am so happy to dance with her (I choreographed a dance comedy to teach her). I had to stop for a year because of the pain. Really big set back. That's why I have been so excited about being able to social dance again (in a creative setting with good music and a range of ages and people) and take a class that I learned about from new friends I met (those were my first steps back to dancing). But, starting back up in September. And doing choreography is much better than recreational dance. Though both are important in different ways. Exercise in a fun way, creativity, joy, social connection, fun activities with my husband, etc. There is value in making healthful activities fun. I have been trying everything I can for physical and mental health while having gone through what I did recently. And losing some friends when I was debilitated. And it's not an easy thing on a relationship to go through on top of work challenges already. Some people on here don't like when I talk about dancing, but it's very important to me to get back to it, and to focus on the good, and being active and happy.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Keep us updated.0 -

Married stay-at-home dad of 4 boys.
I had back surgery going on 2 months ago. I am still getting over that. Yesterday I went and worked out for the first time since the surgery. I am sad to find out that I had so much atrophie in my right quad that I can only leg extend 10 pounds on that leg. My left leg can left 100 pounds ez.
My wife started working when I first had to leave work after the injury 6 mon the ago. She loves working now. I can't go back to work due to the weakness in my leg. So I am glad she enjoys work again.
Any other stay at home parents happy that somers over? I live in Texas so summer is brutal so I am so happy it's almost over.2 -
I'm in H-town and our summer was actually pretty mild. I didn't even have to stop riding my bike to work. Last year, I had two weeks in August when the heat index was over 110, that I just couldn't do it.
I'm sad school is back in session because our summer was so stress free. The kids were gone for half the summer at the same time, and the other half we only had one home at a time, so no sibling fighting, no arguing over homework, no having to worry about getting anyone else ready in the morning but myself. Loved it.

Sounds great I can't wait for those days. Mines still little. I keep telling myself i dont have long before they are all in school.0 -
My kids go back the day after labor day. The first day is just an hour. They go to their previous class and at the end of the week they are placed in their new class. Lots of family involved events during the month of September (same with the last month of school).0

Rimshot!
Awww....cream of wheat is not that bad. I can only eat it with honey and some butter. But since I am doing low carb can't eat it at all. ...lol at albino diarreah. >:D1 -
Hubby looked at my log and realized I added sex to my excersize points.
I can't be alone in this. Lol! 5 -
Well, my kids were locked inside almost all summer. I had a back injury that kept me from doing much then surgery so I was getting over that. But of course the heat did not help. Now they go to school and get to ply outside. And it's really nice out now a days...
I get to be the stay at home parent now that I am out of work because of the injury and y wife gets to go play the bread winner. So it's a win win sort of.0 -

I'm loving the cool weather but miss my kids. I wish I had more time with them now that its cool enough to get out and adventure. We spent most of the summer in the basement playing Lego because of the heat. Guess we'll have to make the most of the weekends now.0 -
I missed the camping thread...
We live close to the mountains WAAAYup here in Canadaland... Eastern slopes of the rockies... SO... packing up the gear and heading into "the bush" (what Canadians call "Forest" ) is a regular thing... because of some of the terrain, and roads we don't trailer... we just tent it... although I have been scoping out trailers designed for 4x4-ing... basically the 4x4 trailer contains a kitchen unit, potable water, and more elaborate (Australian) versions have a pop-up tent platform that puts your sleeping quarters about 6-7 feet above the ground. Also good IF a family needs to bug out in a big hurry (ala the Fort mac fires or other such natural disaster). it can remain packed and ready to roll in minutes.. with enough food, water and other supplies to meet your needs for a couple weeks if necessary. who else is into the TEOTWAWKI? I read an interesting article about preppers today... 1 -

Ha, my husband is considering the same for a while.
We have an 8 mo girl, he's on parental right now and thinking about staying at home with her for a while.
Since he'd be working practically just to pay the childcare bill, it seems more logical to have him stay home than work all day so his entire salary could be used to pay someone else to stay with her.0 -
Happily married and about to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary

In the summer we get pool passes so it changes a little we go daily unless it rains and we also visit different parks in the area, as well as any free things that may be going on we do them as well because hey it's free and free is good. LOL. What do you do with your kids that is cheap an easy to do crafts such as that? My kiddos also go to church camp so that is a plus....
Hey there I am also a stay at home mum. I studied nursing for 18 months and am currently applying for uni to study midwifery. That made life a bit less mundane but its about to get hectic. 2 kids, 1 is 13 and the other is 7.2 -

Retired in 2010 and enjoy going to water aerobics, swimming and my group of friends at the dog park. DW still working (workaholic! LoL)
Joined WWers in 2013 and have lost -145#, I decided to change my Lifestyle and love my new active life. Planning on reaching some major milestones in 2017.

There's some local shops that design/manufacture those here; I think they're highly overpriced. You might as well get a trailer and build one yourself.2 -
1st day of school for my kids today (7th and 5th grade).
I'm SO excited!
What am I going to do with all this free time?
Get a ton of work done? Or do nothing and just veg on a couch uninterrupted?
Gasp: what about a NAP???
So excited!4 -

We are. Actually saving up to purchase land and make a hidden bunker (by which I mean a dome house we could also camp in
). We used to stockpile but watched enough Walking Dead that we're now focusing more on bugging out efficiently (surviving with a backpack and skills). We've got a lot to learn but its been a fun journey.
