Hello All! After lurking for awhile, I thought it would be best to step up to the bat and intro myself.
Me 32
H 32
M 10 years
Three kids 5 and under (so at some time I knew what I was doing)
And a houseful of pets. I also work part time, and help care for my grandmother etc. And add in a few health problems on my part.

I belong to the ranks of the LD, but I'm working on turning it around. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon SSM book and got it from the library. Of course, being LD, I let it stay on the shelf until it was almost due, and then decided what the h@ll. Totally blew me away. It just clicked so much. I asked H if he wanted to read it and then we could discuss it. (Something I never do. I'm a big one on avoiding fights) Turns out he had read it the first night it was in the house. So we had a long talk and I'm on "the program". Which I put myself on, not him. While I know that those of you that are HD are beating your heads (or what have you) against the wall, there are some of us LD that are not too happy also (it just looks like it). My marriage has sucked, and not in a good way. So for the past couple of weeks I've been doing what I can to get the ball rolling.

It seems that a lot of LDers seem to be ok once they get into it, it's just starting and not feeling like you're doing something against your will. (That's a big thing) I'm learning a lot about turning off the brain and going with what feels good. I've also learned that a good H and a box of batteries does a lot to turn the brain off. It amazes me how much happier we both are. The dishes are now finding their way to the dishwasher and with a smile to boot. Go figure.

Anyways, before this turns into a novella, I just wanted to say hi and I hope we can all learn from each other.

BTW, I have an off sense of humor, so sorry in advance.
