Thanks for stopping by and all the wonderful ideas!!
Quote: First - make a list of the "changes" your H is looking to see in you. How are you doing at demonstrating those changes to him? What could you be doing better?
I'll need a little notebook won't I and a bigger purse to keep it in.
Quote: I would sneak into the bathroom and read it over to remind myself. Focus, patience and determination.
This is a great idea! It takes awhile for me to dry my hair, so this is when I do my reading, etc. and if I keep it in one of MY drawers I won't have to worry about H coming across it...excellent!!!
Quote: Also, as hard as it is right now, you have to make it FUN for him to be at home. So work on that PMA - my H would come home in a rotten depressed mood, but I would be in the kitchen with the Tom Petty CD cranking, a glass of wine, dancing around with a great dinner cooking. Sometimes it took hours, but eventually I could get his attitude to improve - the key is to make HIS attitude match yours, instead of letting HIS attitude bring YOU down.
Another wonderful idea. My boss was just talking about her cooking skills and how it is a bonding experience for her and her friends. She's not married, but her friends come over, they have some wine, they help cook, they have some more wine, pretty soon they're drunk and don't care about food...okay I did get a little carried away my boss DOESN'T actually do this, but she loves to cook. This is a great new way to look at cooking, might just be the ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT I need in this area...hmmmm
Your sixth suggestion is rather interesting as I haven't tried the middle of the night thing and was trying to think of something different..another hmmmmm
Quote: Make it FUN,FUN,FUN! Try something new.
This does need to be my motto for the next few weeks doesn't it and I feel like having some fun, fun, fun!!! It's been so long since H and have gone out and had any fun, also.
Thanks Ellie, you must have known I needed you today!!
