I haven't heard about the "Law of Attraction." I'll have to look that one up.
I printed out a poem on detaching from BobbiJo's thread. I'll need to read it over and over.
My H was in grad school when my first was born and doing a fellowship when the second was born. I know what it is like doing most of it alone. My H often puts in long hours and travels.
As for taking care of myself I have:
1. Bought myself flowers for the third week in a row. This week they are yellow and orange roses. They brighten up the dreary winter and smell great. H still has not made a comment about this. 2. I bought myself a ring yesterday that says "Live*Love*Laugh". It is a visual reminder of what I need to do. I used to be a really happy person and I need to bring that back. 3. I am trying to be more patient and loving with my Ds. I took too much out on them the past year and that needs to stop. 4. Still looking into an activity to get involved in that fits my schedule.
