Looking for Advice

[gutwrenching]

Sandi - great thoughts again. I put all those nuggets in the back of my mind.

The computer is odd-we went about a week without the computer addiction and then it resurfaced last night. And I thought she too was heading up to bed...as she had fallen asleep, but once I left to go to bed, she was back on the computer. It would have been 4 or 5 in the morning where OM is, so it could have been looking stuff up or looking at e-mails or nothing, who knows.

We had actually also gone 6 days without the bad moods...today, she seems ok. Not in good mood, but not in bad mood either.

Yes at some point, the computer sessions into the night is going to have to be addressed. Now probably not the right time, but will see if she falls back into that pattern.

I took a moderate approach with the dirty kitchen today. She was out for ballet and shopping with D for about 3-4 hours today and I didn't clean up the kitchen. She got back and had to make Chili for us for tonight's event, and there was no room to make it. So I emptied the dishwasher and picked up just a little and wandered off. She then cleaned up a little more.

And yes I have had feelings of spinning my wheels which is where friends like you and Rabbit have really helped today to try to put a positive spin on things. yes she places a ton of things about our M, but that's because she really doesn't want to be in it. Placing things ahead of family is disturbing right now.
