Morning Ladies,

I really need some support this morning. My temp was down although still over the cover line, for the last 3 nights I've had the worst dreams from fighting with my best friend and sister, to being late to work but the reason was that I could not see to drive, everything was extremely distorted and I when I finally made it to work, couldn't park my car, and the one this morning, I'm ashamed to even tell you but in the end, it involved me telling my DH that I was unfaithful to him. I am in tears right now! Tell me these are signs of AF coming?? I'm still spotting this morning but is really light and brown. I've had sinus-like symptoms sore throat and sneezing for the last 3 days and my tummy just won't stop gurgling..like hunger pangs and yep, I've had heartburn the last two days.

I'm a mess...LOL I just read what I wrote and am laughing at myself now. I tried to write a teacup story yesterday but couldn't even think of what to say and cried after reading Heather's this morning.

Maybe I need to go back to bed hehe... I'm sorry I'm gloom and doom this morning. I don't want to test until Monday if AF doesn't show. help?

I got this in email this morning and thought I would share it with you wonderful ladies :)

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided

to

>go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to

dive

>into the cool water, he ran out the back door,

>leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.

>

>He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of

>the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore. His father working

in

>the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer

>together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as

>loudly as he could.

>

>Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim

>to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the

alligator

>reached him. >From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms

>just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible

tug-of-war

>between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the

>father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by,

>heard his screams, raced from his truck, took

>aim and shot the alligator.

>

>Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy

survived.

>His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And,

on

>his arms, were deep scratches where his father's fingernails dug into his

>flesh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.

>

>The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if

he

>would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with

>obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great

>scars on my arms, too. I have them because my dad wouldn't let go."

>

>You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not

>from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars

are

>unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are

>because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's

been

>there holding on to you.

>

>The Scripture teaches that God loves you. You are a child of God. He wants

>to protect you and provide for you in every way. But sometimes we

foolishly

>wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming

>hole of life is filled with peril - and we forget that the enemy is

waiting

>to attack. That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars

of

>His love on your arms be very, very

>grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go.

>

>Please pass this on to those you love. God has blessed you, so that you

can

>be a blessing to others. You just never know where a person is in his/her

>life and what they are going through.

>

>Never judge another persons scars, because you don't know how they got

them.

>Also, it is soooo important that we are not selfish to receive the

blessings

>of these messages without forwarding them to someone else.

>

>Right now, someone needs to know that God loves them, and you love them

>too~~~~~enough to not let them go.
