I have been perusing the bb and agree that for the last few days there has been this cloud hanging over everyone...maybe it's the lunar cycle??? But it is definitely there.
Not your imagination.
Feels to me like someone let all the air out of the balloon.
Huds reply was great advise...absolutely dead on!
And I think you are right on target with the goal setting idea!!
Maybe that would help everybody....fresh eyes, fresh approach.
I am wading back in...feel like I am testing the waters with my big toe.......
Trying to tire myself out physically and mentally.....waiting to the point of exhaustion for sleep...so this post is coming in late at night...I think it's around 12:30 am.
I must say you handled your evening like a PRO!!
I can tell because even the girls were impressed with your energy..I got a hoot out of Mr. W's quizzical look....You had him totally off kilter!! Ha!
and the ILY goof!!....priceless
You must just give yourself a hug for handling that so WELL... Now of course he stuck around longer!!!...He LOVES being around you...
He just won't admit it ....what a schmuck!! (Him not you!)
I also want you to know that the way you handled yourself and what you said to him about the taxes WAS FANTASTIC...you earn extra brownie points for that!! Wow, I was really impressed...did you practice that or just say it?! Just brilliant.....
He had to be reeling from all that validation and praise...and appreciation....heheheh!!
I think you are right about the male attention, it seems superficial and fabricated. I would steer clear of this. Just do like HUD suggested and focus on you.
Mr. W's antenna goes up about OM and you know it's not in a good way. He feels totally threatened and then makes negative assumptions and probably even goes in to reaction mode when he even perceives something ...It's called reaction formation....He can do it all on his own with no provacation. Just some silly thought that creeps into his head and he has a whole scenario going and none of it is true...but YOU would have to convince HIM of that!!...A whole set of non-realistic thoughts...Which YOU are then given to overcome. That puts you in too awkward of a position...don't you think??
IMHO....
Your post was not pathetic at all!!....It was honest and heart felt and very sincere. I found it to be a good reflection of YOU!!
