Lil, Oh...my...gracious. I can't believe you lanced it off yourself. I had two babies at home, with no pain meds, and the thought of that gives me the willies! You southern women are tough as nails, I suppose.
Snook, Thanks for the comments. My H is excellent at leaving work at work. That's why these last couple weeks have been so weird for me--he's so stressed out and wound up and that's not like him. It literally takes me all evening just to unwind him and then it's time for bed. His company is starting rounds of firing people and clamping down in an effort to go from a small family-run business to a large publicly held company. This is exactly what his last employer did and the outcome for him was not good. It must suck living in fear every single day of your life. I'm not sure what you know about American manufacturing but it is a sh*tty line of work to be in. The competition from China is so stiff that these companies wring every last bit of life out of their employees just trying to stay afloat. Ruthless people. My H is way out of his element amongst these sharks but it is his background and now is not a good time for a career change, with me at home and 3 little kids to support. Every day I look for a new job for him and wrack my brain trying to think of ways to make it better.
The music idea is a good one. MrH is not much of a music fan (I know, HOW is that possible) but he does listen to the Catholic radio station every day and that calms him down a lot.
Thanks for the info about what he is feeling as he drives home. I know it's hard on him. I probably have no idea the extent that it wears on him..and the pressure that he feels. I SO wish I could do something about this; I feel very helpless.
