Ruth, I'm thinking of you this morning--hoping you aren't making the doc and nurses laugh so hard that they can't get their work done!
I know this will go very well and you'll be up and at 'em before you know it. In the meantime, sending lots of prayers and good thoughts your way, dear heart!

Cottage, I envy your leftover Taco Bake!
I know it's hard to have your tonsils out, but it's MUCH easier when you're little, so it's great that they're having Maggie checked out now. I didn't have mine out until I was nearly 30 and it just about did me in!
Enjoy your morning off!
Hi,
Jaelini!
Don't think we've "met!" Love your avatar! What kind of work do you do?
Butler'sMaid! (interesting name!) Glad you've jumped in--anyone is welcome to post in the daily! (hint, hint, you lurkers...
) Good luck with the review and enjoy the lunch!
Schmoodle, hope DS feels better today!
Cat, will you be moving with your company? Sorry about the restaurant and the eggs. That kind of stuff really makes me irritated. I have the hardest time trying to educate my family and DH about restaurants like the one you went to. They just don't get that there is NOTHING I can eat there! Oh well, like you said, roll with the punches.
Kara, I'm so sorry about your panic attack!
I know how scary and bad those can be...but I LOVE how you dealt with it!!!
to you for handling it in such a positive way!
Dawn, take care of that ankle! It's very easy to get a sprain that can take a long time to heal...so if it's still hurting tomorrow, you might want to check with a doc, just to be sure.
Glad to see so many new faces!

Yup, there are lots of us facing all the ups and downs...but when we do it together, it somehow seems easier! Feel free to post in the daily every day--it's a great way to stay on track (and for us to get to know you better! )
TKGlenn,
pleeeeease don't apologize for venting here! Better that you
TELL us what's eating at you than you
EAT to deal with it, right?
I understand what you're saying...it feels very unbalanced and hurtful when you aren't both acting like parts of a team.
Do you think it's a big enough problem to consider couples' counseling? DH and I have been doing that for two years. Sometimes it doesn't seem like it helps, but then there are sessions where we make AMAZING progress or breakthroughs and that makes it soooo worth it.
You'll be in my thoughts today. Maybe you can journal out your feelings or write a letter to DH to tell him how you're feeling (you don't have to actually give it to him, but it helps to get it out). One thing my therapist had me do once was to write a letter to the person who hurt me, then write a letter back to myself
FROM them saying what I needed to hear. It's the
wierdest thing, but it really did help me feel better! Plus, it helped me know what I really needed from them. Hope you can do something nice for yourself today.

Me:
Our poor bunny...he's still sick and now we need to get him up to the vet hospital at a university an hour away. I've been on the phone with them most of the day trying to negotiate an appointment, etc. Turns out he has a parasite and we'll need to do treatment locally. Then, if he's still not better, we'll take him up to the hospital for an ultrasound. I'm so worried about him!
At the same time, our new pup, Angel, is at our vet for her spay. We just realized that she has sleep incontinence, so they are checking her for that this morning...if she has an infection or something, they'll postpone the spay while they treat the problem. I'm worried about her too.
But! I'm trying hard not to eat through my fears. I didn't do that well last night, but I didn't eat nearly as much as I wanted to, so I'm going to focus on the positive.
Off to the gym after work and then, God willing, off to a ladies' night. We're meeting at a local store where you paint your own pottery. There should be about 11 or 12 of us, and we're bringing wine and snacks! I'm bringing WW crackers and lentil dip.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Post often!!!
