Oh, of course, besides manipulating the therapist, he could have lied to me, hadn't thought of that! I am so gullible sometimes! He loves to tell me outrageous stuff sometimes and see how long I will believe him for, and I usually will for a while! I just never understand why people don't tell each other the truth and esp. your own spouse which is I know terribly naive of me!

It's been pretty quiet here at my house: H is still maintaining his manic schedule: working, seeing the OW, and working on the house, sleeping only 5 or 6 hours a night. How long can he maintain that I wonder? I spend 60-65 hours a week homeschooling the kids, cleaning, cooking, paying the bills, being a sahm mom. My H says I get room and board for this like that is some wonderful payment from him (he's a lawyer) and seems to see me now as an employee rather than a wife. He seems to be bothered when I take a few hours off during the weekend when he is home (mentioned something about that this past weekend b/c he is working his manic schedule compared to me) although I feel 60-65 hours of work for room and board (he doesn't allow me spending money) is a more than fair deal for him esp. when he is having an affair and etc. (if he was a great husband or loved me or any displays of affection I might feel like working 70 or 80 hours but sorry...)

The kids (both 8D and 14S) are going to audition for our community play in 2 weeks with me so we are practicing script reading and singing our audition songs. My 14 year old still has to pick out a song. Don't know what is good for a teenage boy though...Everytime I try to read a script I crack up, I have a hard time getting serious, and devolve into weird English accents or fake silly accents (like those old Monty Python shows if anyone remembers those) so don't think I will get a part at this point!!! But it is keeping me busy and I guess that is the point of GAL anyway.
