It was tempting, believe me. I still don't get the flip flopping with her moods. We were talking yesterday about the shortfall in school funding and she brought up how the super turned down his scheduled raise in hopes that the teachers would do the same. Not that he was trying to be a hero, she said, just trying to save money. I didn't really say anything. The teachers did not turn down their raises, and she thought that they were being greedy. I guess I was supposed to agree with her. Ain't happening.
I will confess, my patience is wearing thin. As I said, she hasn't been out late in a while, but her attitude and mood swings continue to mystify me. I know, don't mind read, baby steps, etc....
She hasn't done anything lately for me to say, "OK, that's enough. I won't live like this any longer." I had my chances at that before I found the DR book and this place, and I'm sure that I will have the opportunity in the near future. I think I am finally ready. I can't live like this.
In the mean time: Trying to be patient Learning from my mistakes Loving my kids and drawing strength from them GAL Taking better care of myself than I have in years. Trying to set an example by my actions and not words (previous tues. not included)
