hey all thanks for keeping this little thread of mine semi active.
Little things happening and I keep trying to make the most of them.
Right now we are dealing more with issues around the 13 yr old she adolescent - enough to drive me to drink. I keep trying to DB HER!! [Big Grin]
I am working hard to work with my H on working on our daughter- that raging hormonally charged I know it all and you parents just don't get it bopper- in our house... It's exhausting.
I am trying not to allow her to run our life but frankly I am working on finding ways to get it to bring us closer so that we are talking more. There are moments when I am sure it would be easier to just sell her to the gypsies. Oh gee did I just say that out loud!!!! [Roll Eyes]

A couple of odd things or not so odd. Mentioned to H when I got back from conference that my long standing conference hotel buddy was not as much fun as she used to be... actually quite dull - and she was making comments - not necessarily nice comments about my "loud" undies... and why would I wear such things... ( she knows about sitch and H doesn't know she knows... I missed a couple of meetings post bomb) She was actually quite sarcastic about the whole thing.

H said something like "well we know she likes to blend in and not be noticed.. and this more of same.. this is the kind of thing that her H probably finds boring about her... He's very likely stepping out on her you know... he seems the type" WTF???? So guys... do most men automatically think of stepping out on their wives because they find them boring?? ( who am I asking - the most loyal loving bunch of husbands and men on the planet! sheeesh... )

He mentioned a party from work this past weekend. It was to be a skating party. He didn't ask me if I wanted to go but I think there was an assumption there. As it turned out... we didn't go. Weather didn't cooperate - ice melted not skate-able, and he wasn't feeling well. Slept most of the day and into early evening and nothing more was said of the "do" HMMM first time he's mentioned parties from work in just ages... interesting change I think.

As for the rest... it's going. our daugther... she who drives parents nutbar - has qualifed for provincial championships in her sport... so we are planning to head to the big ego-centric city in a few months...

Now if I could get him to not be cuddly and intimate in just the horizontal position. The kissing comes and goes... but mostly not vertical... very odd I just keep trying to drive a wedge every now and again and keep the mystery up when I need to.

I also keep reviewing what's working and what isn't. I believe this is a key factor. Knowing that DBing NEVER stops... and that I am the one responsible for keeping things together. It gets hard every now and again. But just when I start thinking... enough already... some little things breaks through the negativity and we are off to the races again. Man it's work!

I also have to take more of my own advice and read more of the stories on this section of the board and try not to get involved with some many of the newcomers... which is tough! Have to get back to the gym too. That would be really good for the PMA never mind the butt and thighs! [Razz]

I have already started planning the Second Annual ribs and sangria all girl fest for my birthday. I even asked H to hang around and barbecue because the girls loved his ribs last year.(Last year I told him the day of the event... for those of you who recall... Oh by the way Hon... having some girlfriends over... 35 women later... [Big Grin] ) I think by the time I reach my 50th birthday this will be THEE event that the girls will be talking about. Will have it catered at some fancy place that year... I have a FEW years before I get there. [Wink]

that's what's been happening in the Tree house in the burbs... for now...

DBing the journeyman's way... blue collar ... sweatin it and workin it!
