First of all, I was kidding about taking up Meredith's time. I realized it didn't sound funny when I read it back.
If you haven't noticed, Meredith is one of the smartest people, ever. She can read something, process it, and have an answer off in less time than it takes me to sign in to the BB.
Secondly, I think my post sounded kind of negative. Not intended. There has been lots of good in my R, and it would not have been possible if I hadn't changed tremendously. No matter what happens, I came out of this as a better person~ one I can be proud of. I know I can be a better wife, better mom, better everything now.
I am just having problems taking it slow with the man that I have spent over 20 years with, you know? But, it is necessary and I need to learn to follow his cues on this.
I think if I wasn't so stressed about everything else that I would have handled today a lot better.
Tomorrow is another day. And I will do better.
I did call him and had a quick 2 minute talk in which I was happy and positive. I was "breezy." (Did you ever see that "Friends" episode? If not, that was a funny reference.... really)
Anyway, back to the paper. I am calmer. It can be a min. of 5 pages. And, I downloaded an APA formatter. SO, I have that going for me. Now, as for those 8 references...
