kaw - thanks darlin, for bringing me back down to earth, who knows, these things may be just placebos anyway but hey, they are working and i feel it! LOL - pma is definitely UP

deb - gosh girl, i certainly do miss you my sweet. but looks like you have been SO busy lately with your HUSBAND!!! your like a high school girl in love again, oh my - that feeling must be divine!!! things are happening for you darlin, and to think that a short few months ago there was NOTHING going on!!! now he is calling and coming over, even surprise visits. awesome stuff

pam - you have been scarce lately on the board, i would imagine you are taking everyone's advice eh? boy, what would we do without this board?

mal - mal, your story from the beginning struck a chord with me and all i kept thinking was "i hope i can become that strong" - and yes my dear, it's happening!!!

jeannine - so am i let me tell you!!!

shiny - each day i am on these things it gets to feeling better and better. i didn't realize it was this nice to feel normal. half the reason i haven't been on board lately is because i finally have felt like doing EXTRAS around the house!!!

POSITIVES

well, i haven't been around lately, but there have been postives in my sitch. not much to report, hubby and i are in a downslope in regards to finances so things are a bit stressful.

1) he keeps asking if i am mad at him for not making money (how silly he is) and i tell him that i am just frustrated along with him cause i see how hard he is trying and nothing is working these last two weeks (he is in the automobile industry) - so i told him i was sorry if i appeared mad, that was the furthest thing from the truth, just concerned for him, and he told me thanks!

2) the other night (tuesday) there was a beta induction ceremony at oldest sons school - hubby and i whenever we are together in functions like that sit with daughter in the middle so that both of us can watch her. i had gotten up to get a drink of water and hubby had asked daughter to sit in the adjacent seat and him and i sat together. there was much arm touching during the night, along with funny comments about different things during the evening. felt good to flirt with him again!!!

3) been cooking alot together at night. he is a really good cook, but i forever thought it was MY JOB and so i wouldn't like him in the kitchen. and i find he really enjoys being in there so we have a good time

4) went grocery shopping together wednesday night - had fun! this is our 4th trip grocery shopping together since the bomb. another thing he really enjoys and i am glad i am finally allowing him that comfort

****************

i am seriously sorry for neglecting everyones sitch this week. i have kept up with all of you, just haven't had time to post. i will make an effort to be more supportive

also, i just reordered the dr book from the library so that i can participate in sages thread

have a good one everyone
