I'm another one that hasn't had much time on the board lately, but I've been wondering how you've been getting along... And I feel fully confident that you are doing great! You handled your H's rage over the "dog excrement" much better than I have been--I was the one raging at my H a few days ago over beating it off his shoes in the garage, rather than outside (though hopefully I don't rage quite as bad as your H, but you never know!). Anyway, your perspective sounds great right now, so keep it up!
Other than normal stresses of the season, things are going fine here. Nice to have the kids home for a while, nice when they go back to college ...
And yesterday, when I opened my "demotivators" calendar and found a poster inside, I thought of you--it has a neat picture of a tornado, and reads:
CHANGE When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can turn into deadly projectiles.
I thought of you and your dishes, but you can take it any way you want
