Hey All,

Sorry I haven't been posting on anyone's threads. I have been extremely busy this weekend trying to get the chicken coop built and working on the yard. I just took a brief hiatus for a few mnutes from tilling (ugh!) and thought I'd post quick on my own thread.

H is on to my mood swings of late. Commented the other day that all I do is frown all the time. HA! This is a hard one for me because I do NOT have a natural smile. I have been working on it though and now my face hurts

Trying hard to inact the WWBBD concept. Bob was a bit more present today which helped. It is difficult becuase H is worn out so isn't exactly chipper himself. I have made extra effort to let him know that I really appreciate all the hard work he is doing lately. He has been pushing nothing more then a pencil for the last 3 years and it is "telling" I am keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't opt to get lazy again and though the towel in though.

A hard thing for me to do right now is to LET him do the work rather then taking it all over "as usual". I caught myself doing this again last night when he decided that our Westie needed trimmed I don't normally clip her but hand strip her instead. H wnated the excess hair gone "NOW" though...I tried to teach him how to do the stripping but he is left-handed so the stripping knife was too awkward for him. I decided to just go ahead and clip her instead so HE could have a hand in it (it seemed to be something he wanted to do?). I cuaght myself telling him "wait, not down so far, stick to the line...here let me do it." I took a few passes, realized what I was doing and handed the clippers BACK to him and let him finish He THANKED me afterwards

I'm trying hard to get a hold on my runaway thinking. One of these days I hope I do. I still wish they made some kind of drug to control an over-analytical mind

Hugz,
