Well, here's another update. What I'm trying to do here is create a journal, and just post up here what I do, what W does and what the result is. I'm hoping for a couple of things with this. First, this will give me something to refer back to to see if I can spot any patterns. Also, if I find that something leads to success, this might help not only me, but others as well. I'm trying not to edit too much, so hopefully this becomes a pretty "true" picture of what goes on, at least from my own viewpoint.
Last evening I wanted to have a discussion with W about what we've read so far in PM, and her impressions of it, and hopefully to get into a discussion of the concepts with her as well. It didn't happen. First of all, we were somewhat late finishing supper, and after the dishes were done, she wanted to sit and read for a few minutes (30 or so) before dessert. Then we had dessert, and there were kids in and out until about 9:00, then there was a movie on that she thought looked good. So at that point I sort of gave up on the idea of having a good discussion, and also we were both tired due to 2 rather late nights in a row. Saturday night S18 had his GF over until about 11, and DD20 went out drinking, and didn't get home until after 3:00. W doesn't sleep well when DD20 is out, so I knew she was overtired on Sunday evening. Friday evening, of course, was our big discussion. So the whole weekend had left us pretty tired.
This morning at breakfast I said I wanted to have a discussion this evening about PM, and W was not disagreeable (not enthusiastic, but not disagreeable). On the way to work, after dropping S18 at school, I told W that I had ordered a copy of the book from Amazon - just to let her know that it will be arriving sometime this week. That was the last word spoken until we got to work. Her goodbye kiss was NOT warm, and when we parted she looked rather sad. So I'm expecting it'll be an interesting discussion this evening...
