• how do u make paper look old?
  

  This was actually instructions to make a pirate map, but you may find it to be helpful:
  
  You’ll need cold coffee or tea (about 1/2 cup), piece of white paper, a blowdryer, a little imagination and some markers.
  
  Take a piece of nice white paper and rip off all the edges (don’t cut them with scissors, rip them!) If you rip the paper a bit more than you meant to, it’s not the end of the world.
  
  Crumple the paper up as tightly as you can into a ball.
  
  Flatten the paper out again and put onto a plate or cookie sheet. (if you haven’t told the kids what you’re doing, they’ll start thinking you’re really weird right about now).
  
  Pour coffee or tea over the paper. Swoosh around with your hands to make sure it covers everything.
  
  If you’re doing this with a large group of smaller kids, you may want to get it to this point and set them aside for a couple minutes (get the children arranged at the table for drawing their maps). Then pull out some finished, dried sheets that you premade. It keeps the kids from having to sit through the “waiting” parts of the project.
  
  Let it sit for about 5 minutes (if you’re doing it with a group, you don’t have to let it sit so long… 2 minutes is enough to give it some colour)
  
  Pour the coffee off into the sink.
  
  Blowdry with a hand held blowdryer on high for about 5 minutes (leave it sitting on the plate while blowdrying or it will tear to pieces). When it’s pretty dry (and starts to lift a bit) switch the blowdrier to low to finish off (about another 2 minutes).

• Important please watch my video that i made
  

  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. I know how frustrating the courts can be, it’s true as if the abuser has more rights than the victims and something catastrophic has to happen in order for the law to do anything and by then it’s usually too late. You did a wonderful job with that presentation and I’ll definately be checking out your myspace. My heart goes out to you, Don’t give up your fight they are lucky to have a mom who loves them so deeply…..Many Hugs!

• It’s 2:57 am and my husband is still not home, for a while I got used to falling asleep without him being home with me.
  

  well when hubby came home he was surprised that I was up waiting for him. I asked him where he was and he said he went out w/ bobby, I don’t know bobby, and then went by his friend billy’s which I’ve met him and his wife maybe twice, I did like his wife she was really nice and cool to talk to. So I told him I’m done, this is the last time he does this to me whether we’re together or not. He said he wanted to go to bed and talk in the morning. He did admit that he is still talking to that girl that’s a friend of his sisters that he talks to her about us and she’s been talking to him about her grandfather dying, and is very adiment(i know i spelt that wrong) that he is not out cheating on me. He said that he wants us to try and work on us and get thru the holidays I know he has been very stressed about things, but so have I. I told him if he wants to work on us he has to make changes also as in stop living as if your single. he asked what i wanted and i told him i want a husband, a family man, not a teenager. As for a little background on my part in the relationship, for a long time I slipped into a depression and it has been a vicious cycle he goes out all the time I’m stuck home with the kids I feel neglected and ugly and so on. Over the last year I realized that I was fighting something just to smile I felt fake and had no patience with the kids. and that totally is not me. So I’ve lost 20 lbs so far and went to my doctor and told her how I felt and she gave me a prescription(of course) But now I have much more clarity to my thoughts and can honestly say i feel good and I couldn’t remember the last time I had said that.So now I know I’m really trying to make it work, I’ve been trying for a long time but just got hopeless with everything. I have told him that we need counseling. I think he needs some on his own, he’s never dealt with his fathers death when he was 15 and he was the one who gave his father cpr until the ambulance came. So I know there’s things he needs to deal with himself and I know alot of the going out is probably an escape, but I just feel that some of his behavior is just not acceptable, because if it was the other way around and I was doing what he has been it would be absolutely unacceptable. I do love him with all of my heart and I do know the kind of man he can be. for example we went to his friends birthday party and there was a band playing at the bar, now unfortunately my husband isn’t much of a dancer, I love to dance, but we rarely do, anyway there was a 75yr. old lady at the bar and she turned to him and asked him to dance. it was that What I Like About you song, and he got up there and danced with this lady and watching him going out of his comfort zone putting a smile on this hunched over little 75 yr. old lady’s face made me remember that’s why I love him. I know I’m rambling now but I guess I what should I expect, what kind of changes should I expect him to make immediately and what should I give time, I’m trying to be reasonable, but I feel that I should get the same respect I give him, I have never turned to or befriended someone of the opposite sex regardless of what kind of problems we have had.

  He goes back and forth about separating and blames it on the stress of bills and the fact that we may loose the house to forclosure, He tells me he wants to save the house and our marriage, but his actions……. I’ve tried calling it just goes to voicemail, same with the friends phone he’s supposedly with. He has a blackberry so I sent him an email.
