Old thread will be locked soon, so I am starting this one.

Bettou, just found your new thread. Did you say you were a lawyer too?

Beth,

I wish I would have stayed on my thread earlier and talked to you. I ended up caving and talked to H...( I posted all about it) ...Anyway...feeling like crap right now..

Running out of tissues!!!

I posted this on your other thread and then saw where you said you were doing a new thread (LOL..shows I should read thoroughly)!

{{{Beth}}} Sorry I left you for a few hours my friend..went and had dinner with the kids and the hub..it was okay...hub was cranky because he hadn't eaten and it was a wait to eat and then he had to go back to work..but we just all made the best of it anyway

Anyway..how are you now..2 hours later my friend?? Did you find some pillows to "fluff vigorously" or something to kick box for a while instead? LOLOL..by the way..if you think about the fact you'll have a BOD of STEEL then that would make you pretty tough wouldn't it..reminded me of Steel Magnolias, about how we, as women (sorry guys LOL), are "fragile" like a flower, but have to be so strong and so tough for the things that get thrown our way!

Hugs!

Tawnya,

Thanks for checking. I am much more calm now. Still sad and miss H like mad but more calm.

In fact, I am sleepy and going to nod off.

I hope your day was good.

Hi Beth,

I had a super nice day, surrounded by family, I've detached very well and I still had a mini-cry in the bathroom just now. It's a tough day all around.

Wife took kids to a Christmas concert tonight, which we all used to go to. I had the kids for dinner today but harder once their gone.

My mom, dad and sister took me to a movie tonight to distract me, bless their hearts.

BTW... new Nicole Kidman movie is really excellent: 'Australia'.

Techguy,

I am glad your family were able to help distract you and that you had a good day.

Thanks for letting me know this is all normal stuff, your experience helps. I am sorry you had a hard time, too.

First holiday apart behind me...on to bigger dragons.

Beth

And guess what? You made it through a tough holiday! You should congratulate yourself. Remember to celebrate every small win as if they're large monumental goals. In the grand scheme of things, "small steps" really are large leaps!

You did absolutely great! So will it be a mani-pedi or full body massage tomorrrow? Don't forget to pamper yourself after going thru something this challenging.
