I used to do the home daycare gig, too. Boy that was hard. It's bad enough giving of yourself all day long to your own kids but it's really hard to find it within yourself to keep on giving to kids that you love, sure, but not looooooove. Know what I'm sayin.

I keep active as well, but the winter months are hellish. The kids are sick all the time and the weather's not conducive to doing outdoor activities. I go to every single story hour that I can find, but I've had to cancel last week's and this week's too due to illness. Winter is hard on me..I'm sure H dreads it as much as I do.

Plus, my sister moved away and my dad is still in the hospital, not doing well. Stress everywhere and my H has his nose in the dang tv every night.
But......he's been making other attempts at intimacy that I'm not chronicling here because they do fit my current argument.
See, that's the thing with me. I'm brutally honest about my H's faults, but pretty honest about my own, too.
