Of Feral Cats, and All That

[reachingHigher]

T^2,

This sounds good. You are not sick any more then?

It is so disappointing when you are so careful, but they have to have their time to withdraw and continue the healing process. It takes so much patience, doesn't it?

But when I go over and read on the piecing forum, it scares me a LOT. It makes me see how we don't want to do this thing too fast.

Better to go slow now than to have to back track later on. You've already had to do that and it's not pretty.

Do you have any backpack trips planned yet? Do the boys go? Does W share that interest?

I was thinking today about your W and her worry of looking older. I really believe my H doesn't mind a few wrinkles if I have some pretty muscles. Those are sexy at any age. Does your W have any interest in BB?

We did the attachment parenting too and i really appreciate what you said on my thread about choosing to find friends now. I'm hoping my H & I could run into other couples with similar interests and older children.

T^2, you're doing so well.

I hope you don't get down tonight about her being distant. I get down so easily lately but have actually had a few days of steady happy mood.

Today, I made a snide comment on texting where it looked like I expected H to do a replay activity. I was so ashamed I said it and I think it hurt him. I apologized and said I didn't mean to be catty, I just wanted him to know I was okay with what activity he chose. But that wasn't really true. I was just TRYING to be okay with it. As it turns out he wanted to spend the evening with me and we did (swimming laps and then going to dinner)

It's hard to move into this new mode of who they are now. It's not who they were 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 1 year ago or even last month! It's quite a dance, is it not?
