Hi Misty Moon good for you a good night sleep is so important, I'm curious to know how come your kids start school so early in the year?

MistyMoon: Wow! You are a super hero! I also have five kids. A bit older than yours (between 10-25 years old). I am so proud that you are quitting now. What a present to you and to them! I wish I had quit when mine were younger. I did not set a good example and now three of them smoke :( The older 4 were from first marraige and I was a single mom for quite awhile when they were small. I worked nights as a police officer, drove a school bus in the mornings, and several hours three times a week I did testing for developmentally delayed children. All of that just to (barely) make ends meet. I also have a daughter that has emotional problems. Take time for yourself during this quit. We women have a really hard time asking for help for some reason. We can sense it with each other, but sometimes men need to be told who, what, where, when and how (accompanied with pictures if available). If your mother lives close by, perhaps she can take the baby for an afternoon while the others are in school. Or take the baby to the park. My oldest was an unhappy baby that screamed all the time. I used to go for long rides in the car because she would sleep with the motion of the car and it was atleast QUIET time for me while I listened to books on tape from the library. Stay strong, and in case nobody has told you...I am very proud of you! ;)

A good nights sleep is soooooo important. Our mind really needs it to cope and learn and to fight the Nicodemon ... etc. I am really glad you got some sleep. Stay positive in the face of adversity. It will help to carry you through. Feeling negative? Come here and post, we will help to lift your spirits back up. You can do this. It will be the best gift you have ever given yourself.

Misty, You're juggling a lot and rewards will be even more important for you. You can involve your children in those rewards, take them all out for dinner. You get a break and everybody gets fed and has a little fun. Keeping a quit journal may be another helpful option. Take 15 minutes at the end of each day before bed and record your thoughts. Good luck, Danielle ________________________ The SSC Support Team P.S.

Hang in there! Sounds like life has dealt you some big hurdles lately. Don't make any life altering decisions right now. Your dead in the heat of your quit and sometimes things are fuzzy for a few weeks. I wish I could give you a big fat hug, sounds like you need one! Stay strong, smoking will not help!
