CL, you always ask thought provoking questions! I also like your approach.....I can just hear you say, "STOP COMPLAINING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!" (in a helpful manner I might add).

It's a combination of those things, plus time. I believe the biggest issue is my D16 and my H's work schedule. She has a couple committments during the week and my H's work schedule is such that he is away from home 3-4 days per week. That doesn't leave much time to devote to just me. I am less of a social body and am quite content just curling up with a good book if I do have some spare time. Lately I have been trying to work in an hour of exercise. Not too exciting. I would love to quit my job and have more time for ME! H would just think I was being selfish, though.
