Journaling:

I'm really looking forward to the weekend. This week has been a bit of a stressful one for me.

S9 and S6 have been going at each other nearly every day, and it's usually instigated by S9. He just loves to rile up his younger brother, and no matter how many times I tell him to knock it off, he just doesn't seem to get it. He'll stop for about 30 minutes, but then it's right back to business for him ....(sigh)....ugh .

I'll be taking all three boys to MIL's after school so she can have some time with them before H picks them up for the weekend. Speaking of H, he paid me a compliment this morning when he came to take S9 and S6 to school. He said, "Why are you looking all good?" I was like, "Huh?!" because I was still in my jammies ( )! H said, "You've got your hair down...and those cute little pajamas...You look all sexy and stuff!" I just smiled and said thank you.

You see.....for those of you who may be reading this and are wondering and asking others, although my sitch is very far from the norm, DBing DOES work. If you can learn to better yourself, take care of yourself, and just be an empathetic friend to your WAS, they can come around and show you what you would like to see.

Soooo.....it is definitely time for ME and just me ! I really need it ! Don't get me wrong -- I love my babies dearly, but I do deserve a break every once in a while.

Not sure what I'm going to do just yet, but I'm going to enjoy every minute of it !

Have a good one, everybody! Thanks for listening.
