Wow, 3 kids, that's an interesting hand-full. I was just in Detroit visiting a cousin and she just had her 6th child o_O!! It's amazing, she has so much energy.

Anyway-- wanna tell us more about yourself?
-sTD

Yes U are right it is a handfull sTD lol. and I will keep your cousin in my prayers! 6 kids are alot. I take care of 2 more on the weekends plus my neice comes around,,but I get to send them home,,lol.
well as for more about me, well I live in PA. I try to get "me" time so I escape here to the net to find some kind of social life, its hard for me to get out. sometimes I venture into a chat room,, not often. I am also self educated on a lil bit of everything lol. just not politics-ugh. as for thing I do in my spare offline time that dont involve my kids,,I look for that calgone man,,-come take me away! lol.I really have a boring life. All my time is around my kids and homelife. I know I need to get more "me" time but hard to find somebody who is willing to babysit 3 kids for pennies,lol not rich ya know. If there is anything you are interesting in knowing just ask, I tend to jump the subjects alot-not meaning to. 🙂 oh yeah did I mention I am sooo tired...and wish I could bottle my kids energy and pass it on ..lol.

Hi Aquariank!

Welcome to the boards. Me too have 3 kids and know how they can keep you on your toes 24/7. Never a dull moment.Two of my kids are grown up. (18 & 15), the youngest one is 5 years old.It is really lovely to watch your creations grow.

SO here is the "me time that I get to have. MY kids are stil in bed and yet it isnt even 6 am here and I am not even sure why, but shouldnt I be getting sleep as well? go figure , of all days. I need and complain of sleep. this happens. are the planets out of line or something or is it just a torture thing from the heavens above..lol ooo well now I must get coffee to keep up later-like around noon when I know I will get tired and then my kdis will be home just when I could be in a deep sleep. LOL btw my Kids signs are -oldest 8-Leo, Middle 7-Libra, and my 3yr old, cusp of Capi and Aq.and female like me,lol never a boring moment in my house, she clashes with her scorp brother though-alot. lol but then there is also the good stronge bonde as well which I love. Her dad is a capi an I guess she really got a mix of us both being born right on the cusp of our signs,,lol. anyhooo. Yes I agree Loonybird to watch them grow is truly amazing and to know that I had a hand in that. and I am so proud when a stranger tells me how beautiful and well mannored my children are esp for all of them being together in public,-LOL I still can not believe I managed to raise-still in process- and teach my children good qualities and values which i pray they keep with them, but I never thought I was capable of being or doing any of this on my own. and wow Loonybird thats a 10 year difference with your middle and youngest. is it easier? not that I plan on having anymore-Got fixed I did ! LOL
Goodness I am rambling on here, lack of coffee ? I dont know, lol. ok going before I go on even more- LOL

Hi Aquariankisses!

It is very heartening to see you being so positive inspite of being so tired and very badly wanting to getthat precious sleep. I know how I had to make special efforts to count 10 before i would snap at my ex-hub while the older ones were still babies.

My Oldest one(female) is a Cancerian.Next(male) a Saggitarian & the youngest one is a Taurean. Among the three guess who is the most boisterous lot? No..not the Saggi.. the Taurean. And who is the most independent one? No wrong again not Saggi..the Cancerian.
LOL🙂

Yes there is huge gap between my youngest one and the older two. The pregnancy gets difficult as the woman grows older and the first 2 years were excruciatingly demanding. My daughter was in her teens & I had to cater to her special requirements. It was a very trying time for her too. She wanted me. But i was coping up with physical pain & lack of sleep. Besides this youngest one is a big boned cumbersome bundle to carry around. And he wanted only me!

The brighter part is this though. As I was more experienced and matured when the 3rd one was born, I knew exactly how to take it easy without over reacting to various situations as I would when my older 2 were babies. Gosh how I used to get bent outof shape if htey so much so as slightly sniffled. LOL. Moreover the baby is now brought up by a woman who is now very polished and much more loving as she has reached a certian level of sucess & carries a magnetic aura about herself. The little one is definitely a bit more well turned out as a result.

I would always prefer having not too much age gap between two children as the emotional demands of both them are different and it seems liek as if I am carrying two diferent masks. One I wear when i am relating to my older ones & the other when with the younger one. But yes it is a challenge which made me even much better organised and much better equipped with coping skills under stressful situations.

Huggggggsssssssss to you

Looney

HI Loonybird
oh I can imagine. my cousin she just had a lil one in 2001, her 3 as well and there is a 11 year gap with her 2 and her lil one, and I see somewhat the difference. my oldest 2 are 13 months apart and every tells me that that are like twins, I say yes, only because I used to be a nanny to a family of 7 who had twins-before my children was born of course. THey are both boys and alot of challenges with huge differences even though they are close in age.There is a 4 year difference with her and my youngest son. And I can relate to big boned babies. My lil girl at the age of 2 was always mistaken for a 4 year old. she is ver tall for her age and it is draining to carry her around and sh eis only 3 yet. but its not as much anymore- thank goodness!
I thought about who has the strongest personality. well its a toss up between my Cusp Girl and my Libra boy.oh the storys I can tell..lol and my Leo is so independant. amazing. he is soo helpful around the house, when he isnt lost in his gameboy and movies. like to daze off into his own world.
SO ya got any tips for organising and stress managment? I try my best and always open for advise and opinions. I know as you have said, through the years I have grown and learned alot and matured - well in 9 years. lol. I started at 18 having my children. SO what age does it get easier? 🙂

Huggss
AK

As my mom explains it-- she loves me now that I'm on my own and out of the house. She's 54 now. Is that a good ball park age for you? 😉

sTD

LOL I tell my boys they are moving out at 18,,they get frantic and say noooo. I said yup or Im moving out. LOL we Moms Need our nest back ,,esp after so many years.LOl 54 a good ball park age for me? for when,, my kids finally move out? ohh heck no,,I estimated I should be in early 40's. LOL I have a schedule of date and time they are to move out- sad isnt it. and they arent 10 yet. im counting down,,and I done the threat of grand kids. I said I am moving far far far away. LOL


AK

Oh, it doesn't end when the kids move out. I would say another 5 years or so after I moved out, I still relied upon my parents for help. The good news is, when I was home, I wasn't running and screaming through the house.

No doubt, being a mom is hard work, and 3 kids (do you get paid overtime for that?).

My aunt is also an Aquarian and she also has 3 kids. Taurus (19), Capricorn (15) and Libra (11). The handfull is the Cappy (a girl). She is very strong-willed and emotionally charged. In the past, we had some difficulty getting along (I'm an Aries).. but I'm not sure it's a sun-sign issue or not.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

I did want to ask you, what attracted you to the forum?

Thanks for the warning of the 5 years after-lol. I moved out of my moms 6 days after I turned 18, fortunatly for her I didnt rely on her for the extra 5 years of help 🙂
Paid for over time? you get paid? I wish! lol yes I agree a capi girl is stronge-willed. mine is. she is a cusp. born jan 19th. very challenging and yes emotionally charged I definatly agree.
Now when I do go to my moms, of course I dont run through the house screaming and all. but my kids do-LOL so it also makes up for her spoiling them and then letting them loose back on me all round up and hyper. LOL
I got attracted to this site by a referral of a friend. she mentioned to me she was browsing one night an seen this and thought I would be interesting in it. Since I have an interest in the astrology signs and ppl and I also am interested in spirital side of things as well, like ppl with empathic and or clarivoyance and things in that nature.
and its ok to ramble, I do it at times..more often than not.lol.happens when your surrounded by children and find some sort of adult conversations ya just spill out. well thats my case anyways 🙂

AK

OOOoooOOooooOOoo.. my grandparents ruined me when I was younger. But isn't that the nature of people? Spoil the kids that aren't yours? I guess it's easier to spoil children when you know the parents will take them home.. and you're no longer responsible for them.

I accidently stumbled across this site while I was in search of forums to understand more about astrology. Very few things have kept my attention very long, but I've been reading what I can about astrology for about 3 months now. That's a record for me! I'm not so much interested in the spiritual side-- as I would like to know the deep scientific correlations... not to mention it's just fun (Besides-- sometimes it's hard to strike up a good conversation over the web).

LOL- with the conversation. I did listen to an editorial over the radio discussing the loss of the ability to have an "adult" conversation after having kids. The speaker said that once she had children, at times when she talked to her adult friends-- she found herself using "children" terms such as : "did you make a boo boo?"

Do you also look at numerology?

LoL you are right, its moer likely ro spoil a child knowing they go home to their parents- I remember my neice-ooo how I spoiled her when she was lil-before I had mine of course! her mom coiled at me for that many times,,lol I loved it though. but now. I dont like it so much..lol
Thats definatly good for you to have stuck to something for 3 months so far. I havent studied the scientfic parts yet, more on to the personalities and such, when it comes to the planets, I read, but I loose track real quick. I wish I didnt, I really would like to learn more.
Numerology, no never got into that, on my way though. I skimmed through it but not taken a real interest into it. how about you?
I did bust a gut when you mentioned that radio speaker and her using "child terms" with her friends. I can sooo relate to that. lmao but instead of BooBoo it was I the words Potty and I used it with out even thinking- like, excuse me I have to go potty or when I got frustrated , I didnt curse but I used words like oh poop- lmao I now take more care in my words after they just had a ball with laughter and never let me live that down.🙂

AK

oops typos- moer= more and ro=to. LOL

LMAO lies. Yes i too can realte to extending the use of baby lingo to other people. Once the dean of my department gave me th aisle seat in the college auditorium so that I could have a good view of the show. Instead of saying Thankyou. I said "Cho Chweeeeet" (So Sweet) & almost had my hand raised to peck his cheek. His eyes popped out. But he composed himself quickly and asked,"Ma'am how is your baby"? And then I would also address people close to me as "Tweety" "Cutie" & ofcourse "you going potty"?

ROFL

oops please read lies as ladies.

LOL LOL LMAO!!!! Funny story, Looneybird!!! 😉

AK- I didn't get too deep in numerology either, but it looks interesting. I'll probably have to wait until my schedule slows down a bit before plunging in to something new.

This is too cute: http://beverlys.net/LJ/BuggingYou.swf

LOL Loney, funny. now I am onto the part of embarrassing my children in front of their friends and teachers, with the baby talk and the hold hands and all that stuff they seem to not want now. God I love my job as a mom. LOL

sTD-let me know how it goes when you take that dive into numerology- so I can skip all the hard readin,LOL going to check out that site you listed.

AK

Thanx STD very cute site. My youngest one enjoyed it thouroughly & I have played it for him atleast 8 times since last evening. 🙂

Yes I agree very cute site sTD ,,although I havent shared it yet with my kids,,,hehe 🙂

Hi all. My name's Mindy and this is a great site! Just joined today and look forward to reading all the posts here.

I'm 46 yrs old, aquarian married to a 41 yr old taurus. We've been together since 1989 and thought(still think so, really) it was the best thing since sliced bread!! Then New Year's Eve I became entangled with a 47 yr old Aquarian. Now I'm mentally attached, no sex going on!! It's all mental!! Kissing and hugging, alittle heavy petting, but that's it! HONEST! Strange. Never have been attracted to aquarian men before. My brother is aquarian and is the biggest a** on earth!

It's good to see other aquarians out there. Now I really know I'm not crazy!!!!

Hi MsMindy.. Welcome.
All I can say is.. be careful. Those mental/emotional relationships are the sweetest of forbidden fruit.

Hi Seizetheday,

"All I can say is.. be careful. Those mental/emotional relationships are the sweetest of forbidden fruit."

I know, I know, I know!!! That's what scares me so!! But I'm hoping that since he is aquarian also that we will always be on the same wavelength. It seems to be that way now, anyway.

Thanks for the warning!! I needed that!

I have a friend of mine who I used to work with. We became friends, but at times we connect on so many levels mentally and emotionally. At the time he was engaged, and I had a boyfriend-- but man.. our conversations would set my hormones on fire! Nothing ever happened between us (not even kissing).. however I would say, my relationship with my at-the-time boyfriend was never the same.

Anyway, my point is: the zodiac sign doesn't make a difference. Sometimes a guy you become emotionally/mentally attracted will be someone you never thought you'd be involved with.

Hi mindy welcome
ooo what a predicament you got your self into. of course becarful. but can you live with the guilt that may linger around the corner when your with your man.. hope things get better. and does this mental attachment of yours know you have a relationship. of he does,,be careful on that, some guys thrive on the risk of challenge and yet go no further. then your sunk. I really hope the best of luck for you mindy

Thanks, AK. I appreicate your thoughts.

He is married also, 22 years, 2 children, taking care of mother at home. That's how it started. He started talking about his wife, he's ready to leave her. He is part of our "group" in our neighborhood. There are about 10-12 couples. We all hang out, take care of each other, party together. We're all about the same age and it's like a big family, they are my family.

Yes, the guilt I feel when I am with my husband is bad. The bad part is I'm starting to rationalize my relationship with this man. My husband is a "man's man." He hunts, fishes, follows all the sports, is a carpenter (can build anything) and that's what I love about him. He's not a romantic. Doesn't understand my feelings. With his job we hardly see each other, which is good most of the time, but I still need a mental connection that I'm not getting from him. I find it from this other man.

This other man and I do talk about it all the time. We know we are doing wrong. But really do enjoy each others company. My husband doesn't like us to be friends, but I think that's what it is more than anything. I call it "kissing cousin friendship." We probably only have gotten "together" a total of 4 times since the new year, the rest of the time has been talking on the phone and in email.

What a tangled web I have woven!! Thanks again for your advice!

m

Its hard when ur married and alone- been there- I did indeed crave or long for what I needed so badly from my ex, yes I am not married any longer. was really hard to stay focused and not wander off into the forbiddin. But I can say we didnt part for lack of interest- he had a lot of issues he needed to deal with- we remain friends. I hope you can find comfort again in your home with your husband, I know its wishfull thinking. maybe try to keep things between you and you male "friend" to just talking from now on. maybe things might calm down or have you tryed talking to your hubby about needing more romance..maybe taking time away for just you 2? I know its a thought and he may not be the type, but it was a thought. Hope everything works out for you.

You know what's really weird? I find so easy to tell everything about myself to this forum-- but among my friends/associates in real life-- I hold back. I guess the anonymity is like a security blanket. I'm open but not/ free but hidden. Wild. It's off topic but I didn't know where else to post this.

sTd, hey np, post it here, I can make this part my advice colume..lol
I know what your mean about being able to open up more here than in real life. there no face to face conflicts. and you know theres always somebody here that cares or been there done that. or both.
I could always start back and tell about my life from day one,,omg but I wont,,thats torture to ya all,,lol
Fill free to post anything you want here even if its off subject, subject are always known to change🙂
