I'm here........

[SueS]

Hi everyone!!

I have to reply to the post about empathy or compassion toward either my H or me. Max & Sir, please don't take this in any wrong way. I know that anger doesn't help the situation, however, for those who do know me, they know that it's typically a big 180 for me to stand up and get angry like that. No, it wasn't right for me to come home after having been out, to wake up my H and yell like I did. However, I was angry for a couple of reasons. My H was supposed to have gone to my event with me. Instead, he chose to stay home....and on top of that, he chose to call OW. I blew. I had had my limit of let downs for the night. I'm trying to control any anger I have, but I am not going to keep my mouth shut any more either. I feel a change in myself. I really do. I think my H sees it too. I think he see how I haven't backed down and how I'm still doing the things that SueS wants to do.

Okay, last week was sooooo busy at work. My boss had a complete meltdown last week with me in his office. Yes, I took the brunt of it. Everything I said was either wrong or it wasn't enough. Got over that and he seemed like he was in a great mood....until this morning. He's a great guy but just has some times where he lets his temper get ahead of him.

Things at home have been good. H was quiet, but has been coming around more and more. We had a good weekend. We live really close to the Mall of America, so we did a little shopping and let D4 go on some rides. She had a great time. We ran a bunch of errands together and just relaxed. I also started some Christmas shopping. I got out by myself AGAIN and was able to just look around for some things to buy for D4 for Christmas.

Some of you may or may not remember that last summer/early fall, H and I took some pictures and a poster from a Springsteen concert in to get framed. Well, H paid for 1/2 of it and never went back to pick it up. His reasoning was that he didn't want it anymore....mainly because there was a picture of us. Well, he picked it up on Sat., and promptly hung it on our wall.

D4 and I have been searching for a costume for Halloween for her. She wants to be a Cowgirl. We found some material and I've decided to make part of it. So far, so good. She likes what I picked out and it's coming out pretty good. I worked on that most of yesterday, totally neglecting my other cleaning & laundry....oh well, it will get done!

D4 sings in church this coming Sunday. She talked to H and he said that he would pencil her in for 8:30 on Sunday morning! She's excited that he's going to go.

Last Thursday was supposed to be H's court date. His attorney called and said that the court had delayed it yet again. So, nothing new on that end.

H's dad continues to get better!! He goes back next week for an appointment to see where to go next for the issues with his heart. We'll probably head down there in a few weeks to see him.

Well, I probably rambled a lot, but work has been so busy, that I just typed whatever came to my mind without much thought of putting it all together nice and neat!

Thanks for keeping up with me!
