Wow, I stopped by for some party food ideas and had to duck the 2x4's being swung at poor Jeff! just kidding sort of....it's all good stuff but Jeff, are you feeling like a pinyata?
DH, I read a post you made about how much you are helping 'off board' and being available 24/7 to help others. While that is quite admirable and so very wonderful of you, I am concerned that it is also getting you so sucked in to so many dilemmas that you don't have time to come up for fresh air and fresh perspective. Focusing on these issues of yours and everyone elses so much can very well be affecting your physical and mental health. Take care of you.
I would also like to recommend acupuncture. dar asked about it and I just posted this on her thread - I've used acupuncture and will say that it does work. When I signed up I was looking for help with female problems and back pain, and was pleasantly surprised at how much it helped by rounding out the mind and body together. It definitely helped me with depression, anger, pms, mood swings, pain, circulation, headaches. I know it sounds weird, but I could tell the acupuncturist what my issues were and they could design the treatment to address those specifics and I'd walk out feeling better. There were some days I looked like a porcupine! It was also a pleasant surprise to find out my insurance covered part of the cost. Be sure to check with your insurance, mine had to be worded a certain way to be covered. Of course exercise and nutrition are important as well.
I also agree that if your W is yelling and that is unacceptable behavior you should state your opinion and ask her to stop or follow you to another room to address it in private rather than in front of the kids. Does that sound familiar? I said that on one of your older threads.
kaching, 2 cents, leave it in the take one if you need it bowl if you can't use it.
