Finally done with Finals!!!!!!!

Hi,

I feel like I've been MIA from the board this week. I was sorry to miss the chats, but DH and I have been having a major breakdown of communication issue going on. We made some significant progress, but at the cost of some huge anxiety and major full scale meltdowns on my part.

The worst was that I had my Final exams everyday this week except Tuesday...and it never failed that something at home would upset me big time right before I had to leave for school. At night I was just crashing, yelling at DH, crying or watching "The Lost Room" miniseries on SciFi (which was pretty dern good ;))

Talking with my *T on Weds. helped ground me again and start to work out some of the possible "whys" of what was happening and get perspective on how I was reacting to it. (although it didn't take a lot to figure out that I was going out of my mind with anxiety and then anger at DH for upsetting me)

So now we have a three week holiday break from school!!! Hoo-Ray!!!

I just finished my Christmas shopping and packed a 26 lb turkey into the freezer. Life is looking up!

Smiles,
Dee

Dee sounds as if you made it through a tough week with a positive conclusion to it. Coungratulations. Now take some time for you and time for you and hubby and relax. Enjoy life for awhile and refresh yourself. You were missed at chat.

Hi Sheri Ann,

I'd mainly just like to be able to relax and have fun with the family at home over break. DH and I have had a few more spats...I thought the issues were resolved, but keep popping up. We've talked a lot and I really laid it out this morning, so hopefully we can get past it and back into some holiday cheer.

I made a lazy Sunday brunch which we just finished. DD wouldn't eat her eggs, but wanted more bacon. Don't we all. LOL I guess I'm seeing weird metaphors for life this morning. ;)

Baked a big batch of brownies last night & have them in the fridge...going to frost 'em and take a plate over the to our neighbors.

Hope you are having a good weekend.

Smiles,
Dee

Glad you're done with finals. Sorry to hear you and dh are spatting. This time of year can be tough - it seems like most of the pressure falls on the women to make it happen. My dh always says he would be glad not to do anything - such a grinch - but I keep reminding him of how much our kids love their cousins, and if nothing else we should do it for them. We always have a good time anyway, but it's just painful getting there!

Try and work in some time for yourself during break between semesters. Sounds like you are going to enjoy the holidays.
