Thanks Aud for leaving tracks in my thread. I agree with you as well and the most difficult thing in my life is getting the sleep thing taken care of. I have no difficulty getting sleep it's just finding the time to do so. I leave for work early in the morning 4:30am and by the time I get to bed is around 11:00 -12:00. What I am doing in this time frame is getting misc housework done, help getting all the boys to bed and having some sort of connection time with the W. I have strained to figure out what can be squeezed to get at least one more hour of sleep. I am coming to the decision of getting out of dodge on my current job...there has never been a job I have hated more and would probably be the best benefit to me if I did. That of course would make other adjustments in daycare because I get home currently at 2:30pm. Just a brief update on my sitch.... I have been experiencing for a couple weeks now the brief comments from my W on that she is gaining weight again. Not a large amount but some. I dont mind her appearance at all but I do mind that when she gains weight she doesnt like herself and becomes more bitter. She even made the comment several times that "marriage makes you fatter". I am tired of constantly saying that you still look attractive to me. I think it would be better if she were more active but she has back problems and that isnt so easy. So, any thoughts from the sages out there...especially the women in this realm.... Hope everyones day is as bright as it should be...peace
