1. I am going to let husband inititiate everything. No more pursuing no more relationship talks. I can monitor his behavior based on this and decide in a month what direction I am headed for. If I look at it by the month it is easier for me to get through. I will post weekly about how I did on this area.
2. Return to exercise. Get in best shape possible. (Currently very frusturated with this as I have been sick kids have been sick and off school for break so very limited)but will have to return. I feel good when I exercise.
3. Considering expanding into new area of work if it is even possible with my schedule. . Advantage of this is I earn more money, broaden my skill set, and it will give me something to focus my mind on. I was planning on doing this for a while. Disadvantage is it is not in my best legal interest. Any opinions on this????( It might not even be a real possibility because of my availability)
4. Find a IC or family counselor or divorce support group.
5. Schedule playdates with kids with my friends or other parents instead of my family. I am so happy weather will be improving. This will make my life so much better because I love outdoor stuff with the kids.
6. Socialize without kids. I am invited for st Patrick's day bar hopping...this is nothing I really like. I am a bit too old for it and I do not drink beer but will go just to have the social interaction. There will be single guys that are younger, and I do get attention so this does feel good..but obviously I would never act on this. I guess it's a bit of a confidence booster and incentive to look nice.
6. Go to bed earlier!!!! I wake up in middle of night, but if I sleep earlier I will get more sleep time. This is really a must. I stay awake late because sometimes it is the only time I have to myself.
GAL is a problem. I have small kids and very limited opportunities. I have to choose between counseling, a meet up group, exercise, etc. My upcoming weekends without kids involve work related stuff, so while I am busy I am not getting the social interaction that I would like. Social interaction helps me a lot so while I know how much this would help it's really difficult.
