KAW, thanks for the ideas, I need to incorporate some different things into our daily lives, not wait for a vacation to "reconnect". I'm sorry about your job, it is amazing how quickly a career can change, things you thought were secure, similar to a M.
Mockers, thanks for your support. I'm going to check out the flylady suggestions, too, see what I can come up with. With all H has going on, it seems like it is my duty to come up with fun.
Sue, thanks for stopping in and I'm glad things are going well for you.
Manisha, I always enjoy your point of view from the working world. I wonder if we have it more difficult than the Donna Reed set as gender lines aren't quite as defined as they once were. Sure I'm a stay at home mom, but I also expect for him to pitch in and do things and I want to use my brain too. I also don't want him to feel he has to shield me from his work stress, I want to be suppportive to him, as well. And since we live no where near family, we are each others primary support system. Possibly a lot to put on the other person. So many things floating under the surface. I know I have to rely on me to find some of the brain stimulation, stuff to figure out, as usual. But I need to quit being so demanding of his attention during the work week. Let him work and come home to a nice, fun place to be. So what would be your ideal to come home to after a stressful day at work?
Vacation went well. A few cranky moments, but to be expected. At one point he said he rated our M a 9! I told him I was sorry I was being so needy in reassurances, and he said that was okay. But, I feel I need to stop. While we were S I was confident and strong and now I'm morphing back into a wimp. What more can he do (he actually asked me that, I need to figure it out, I have read the 5LL book, but I like all the things, I'm not sure which one is the thing I need most). I survived a S, I know I can live on my own and raise kids, so it is time for me to become confident again, value what I have and am and get on with my life!
