This is me. And I was a regular on my BMB on the bump but not on the SAHM board. I was a serial lurker until moving here. Now I'm sad it's so slow.

Do you post/lurk any other gbcn boards?

I post on MMM when I feel like I have something to add. Otherwise I lurk ML and CEP. Sometimes H&F, too.

How are you doing?

Doing ok...taking life day by day. Finally going to be able to move out so I have been purging, sorting, and cleaning. I am ready for this step and feel like it will be a big step in the healing process even though it will be very tough. Thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well.

Working on any fun sewing projects?

I have a bunch on the list, but we bought a new TV which has led to me rearranging my sewing room.  But when I get it put back together, I need to fill a few snack bag orders and check in on the store that stocks my things.  And then DD is getting new nightgowns.  She loved the one "the elves" made her for Christmas Eve, so I promised I'd get them to share their pattern.

Did I see your kids in the snow on IG?  How are you guys doing?

[dizzycooks]

jnksmom you're moving out because you finally got the temporary custody agreement settled? Have you finished the "who gets what" discussion? You were hoping he'd be agreeable if I recall. How did it go?

Hi. I love your smiling sun. It's -6 here, I'm dreaming of warmth.

I'm sitting in my kitchen drinking a latte soaking up the sun. It's actually warm right here so if I don't look out the window or down at the space heater I can dream

[cjcouple]

I check in a bit. Not nearly as much as I used to.

Glad you are here. I hope your family is well.

Thanks. I have no complaints :-)

I hope you are doing well too. Those kiddos of yours must be getting big!!!

I still stop in, but haven't started many posts. With it being election year I am spending a lot of time on CEP. Also pop into MMM and ML.

MN. 52 sounds amazing. It was 33 on Friday and I didn't even wear a hat.

I'm a wimp

How did you pick your avatar picture? Is it a goat?

It is my goat-Billy! My grandma got me a pygmy goat for my confirmation in 8th grade. He died 2 years ago at age 12. He lived with our calves and would wander through the barn while we were milking.

I'm here. Lurk some everyday, but don't post a ton. I've been trying to leave my phone inaccessible during the day as much as I can because I have felt like my productivity levels in life are better when I'm not online. But I can't stay away for too long.

I love seeing you on CEP. I can't wait until we get closer to the election.

Awww, thank you! I've been excited to see you there too! I'm having fun reading and learning and contributing when I don't feel dumb lol!

[lattelady5]

I'm here, sometimes. I also post on ml and mm.

[nicolewi]

I am here.

I lurk/once in awhile post on Home & Garden, too. I am afraid that this place gets no new posters and will eventually fall apart, hence my questions on the other thread about the "Then Comes Family" board. I just don't know how we will ever get new traffic over here. I'm here anyway, though.

How's your new house?

It's good! Still a work in process, e.g. no coffee table, etc. But we've run out of money for that stuff so now I really feel like I can relax into it the way it is and enjoy instead of constantly obsessing about what we need next. So that's good. We have all the basic comforts and then some so I can't complain at all. I love the bones and can imagine being here for a very very long time.

The discussion went okay. I am hoping he will keep
To what we agreed to. He doesn't want much of the furniture which is good for me but I am hopeful he won't be an ass when I am actually moving the furniture out.

How's work?

It's good! I returned to my job that let me work from home and was flexible when ds was a baby so it's nice to be back with people I have known and worked with for nearly 7 years! Transitioning to daycare was a lot to process emotionally and logistically but we have hit a groove and have a new normal thanks for asking!
