The problem is I dont even know why. I have spent a few days trying to figure out what is bothering me but I only come up with a few things. One is I am tired all the time. I am an active person and dont do well on a few hours sleep. So I told EMT that there will be no more late nights with him. I just cant do it anymore. The other issues are a little vague. One is that there are similarities in this relationship with EMT and the abusive one I got out of a while back and it scares me. EMT is NOT abusive by any means but the similarities are enough to scare me.


The other thing is I dont really want to spend time everyday with EMT. I have 3 kids, a full time job and a handful of activities that keep me really busy. I have been trying to squeeze time in with EMT but I havent had time to keep up on the house, bills and accounts and other little projects that always seem to need to be done. Its frustrating, especially with my house being for sale I like to keep it as neat and clean as possible. My yard has been covered in leaves for weeks now. ARGH.


Plus the holidays are stressing me big time. I wish I were a member of a religion that doesnt celebrate them. Its all too much for me. Hopefully after the holidays things will settle down.


Tonight EMT is coming over for dinner and all I want is to go home from work, pick up dinner and veg on the couch alone or with the kids. I had a busy weekend that I am still recovering from.


On the good news side, I took DD and her boyfriend to Boston on Sat to see the Smashing Pumpkins and have dinner at Hard Rock. Great concert. I highly recommend seeing them.

What is magic eraser?

I installed a ceiling fan for him so he might want to return the favor. I have a million projects needing to be done too. Thanks.

I'd be tempted to convert to being a Jehova Witness for just that reason alone!

Mine is also a tomboy, but she also loves beautiful dresses. She just has her own style and it's goofy sometimes, but she NEVER EVER dresses like a HO and that is all that counts! If she wants to run around in rainbow tights and men thermo underwear while wearing an oversized mans shirt and a skull hat, then go right ahead! I don't consider that Goth, just her own style. She hates showing off her legs because she is so freaking white. So thank goodness that's not a problem.
