What nice posts waiting for me this evening. I'm so glad to read all of your posts. Pam, I posted to you at your landlord's place...
HOn, I also posted at yours. I'm thinking that as usual, we're zeroed in on the same feelings again--aren't we? For me, I was at a point in my womanly cycle where I had nowhere to go but down. I don't feel that way every month, but when I do, I've learned to allow myself that time to do the quiet introspection and feel as I need to feel.
It was still present most of yesterday. So that when he returned the girls before dinner, I really didn't want to chat much with him. He, on the other hand, was upbeat. His first comment after entering the door was "How much weight have you lost? You look great!"
I just told him I didn't know because I was bloated and thanked him for his nice comments. That was all I could muster with any level of enthusiasm.
I'm feeling better about things today, but not because anything has changed. I just had a good day with the girls... first at church, then a quick trip to the mall to buy them Auntie Anne's pretzels and spending time doing some puzzles with D10. I feel pretty grounded today.
But I need to sign off, go get the suitcases out of the basement and get packing. I have to get organized first, and right now, things are a little messy. Plus I hear D7 upstairs alone--which undoubtedly means she's chasing the cat for some loving (which, in her mind, means holding the cat by the scruff of her neck and licking her).
Time for animal rescue!
Talk to you all tomorrow. Have a great evening.
Bets
