"I think the "happiness comes from within" concept is one of those things that is blown out of proportion."
I agree Andy! It made me LMAO when I read this, I didn't mean for it to sound like that! I'm a hippie, my friend, not a flower-child!! That statement sounded too "trancendental" for me!
OK, beginner's mind.
Change anything.
How about some kid type of stuff. I thought about this last night, and was going to ask you if there was a "system" in place re the kids, or if it was a pretty flexible thing. From what you just posted, it sounds like you are very scheduled. What could you do to stir up some changes here, even if only on a "hit-and-run" basis?
Can you go to work late one day, and get them ready? Come home early, and YOU do the dinner, or work on it together? Or maybe bring some dinner home? You help them with homework? Somehow provide a buffer from the kids being all over her when she gets home? Any other small things to break the pattern you've got going? Doesn't have to be a rigemented and permanent change, just out of the blue, and on occassions, just to kinda blow her away.
