feel like giving up - talk to me!

[mindfull]

Luv... You lost five, and sent two my way, I think!

I can understand the kids being irritated. I will give my H credit, in that, he's been "himself" w/the kids. I do remember, once, last holiday season, he got frustrated about something, and S10 was acting up (just a bit), and H made an over-the-top comment to the boys, and then all of us. As soon as it came out, he was shocked, sorry he said it, and embarrassed. He didn't know what to do. I just told them ... "Boys, sometimes people say dumb things when they're mad. Even Dad." H retreated to his office for a few minutes, came back and hugged them, and acted like nothing happened. I noticed his eyes were glazed over. He had cried. They are young, though, and yours are old enough to understand what's going on!!! My H is great w/D18, as well, and she's not really privvy to what's going on... If something happens, or she notices issues, she tends to think it's me "being a freak"! (I'm always the bad cop, in discipline...)

Anyways, hope you're feeling better today! Just think... you could be visiting me in -20 below temps!!! Bet you have a better tan!
