Piglet,

I think that your H working on a budget AND looking into bringing in additional income are both great signs! I think we need to keep reminding ourselves of the postives and work towards keeping them intact instead of focusing on how to change everything else.

I agree with you about my getting bent out of shape on Mondays. H and I spend all of our time together on the weekends and I hate having to lose him to that place and all of the crap that comes with it (of course including OW!). Point is my H hasn't come to a point where he can see that he contributes to the negativity of his work sitch. I hate how unpleasant it makes him, I hate how in the past he sought out company with OW. I hate it all! I love how we are on the weekends and I want that ALL THE TIME! Now, I know that is unrealistic but I want to be able to create that on some level constantly.

Have you ever come right out and said to your H that you get cranky on Sundays and Weds. because of the issues you listed? Do you think this would even be worth it?

My H has come right out and said that he never wants me to return to sewing as a full-time profession because I have a hard time handling the stress. I at first argued with him but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I'm thinking it might not be such a bad idea (if I chose my words wisely) to tell him why I don't like Mondays (Cue the Boomtown Rats)

PS. I so wished we lived near each other. I'd totally invite you to go on walks with me. I really need a friend to just walk and talk with me.
