I just had the one hamster for a couple years. He once got out of his cage and into the heating ducts. Silly thing.

After spending a week with my dad's dog I have realized I am not a dog person. lol. I always thought I would have one as an adult.

Always thought my mother made that up just to be mean.

I was not a dog person either until I got one sort of by accident.
I am a cat person in general and a my dog person specifically. I like almost all cats but there are a good number of dogs I do not like. I adore my own.

Ah makes sense.

I've always been a cat person. I've never been without one. Sadly, once this cat we have is gone we won't be able to get another.

We've been invited to a super bowl party tomorrow evening.. To go or not to go? I hate football, I love super unhealthy treats, but the people who invited are from our church, and I have very little in common with those people lately.. Maybe my H and kids can go, and I can stay home tomorrow by myself... now that sounds like heaven!

My H has just been tremendous lately. I have been super stressed between trials I have and stuff with my extended family, and he has just been awesome about doing things around the house to make my life easier. My D mentioned the other day that over half of her friends' parents were divorced and that she admired how hard H and I had worked at resolving the issues we were having to get our relationship back on track. We tried to be upfront about the fact we were not getting along, but it was nothing the kids were doing, and just an issue for us to resolve. We were pretty sure at one point that we were getting divorced and we didn't want them to be shocked about it. So both kids were aware we were having huge issues, and both have commented on how they noticed how much effort we put into fixing things and how cool that was. At least one thing to feel good about when I am feeling overwhelmed and like I am doing everything wrong.

it's a great idea to post positive stuff!! I'll share one. I asked several of my friends to fill out references for me to accompany my application to volunteer with girl scouts, and 4 of them did it, so the next step I did my phone interview (yesterday actually) with a council rep, I'm going to get certified to do outdoorsy stuff with scouts. I'm really excited about it! Girl Scouts was a big thing for me when I was growing up because I didn't feel like I fit in anywhere BUT there... most of my positive female role models growing up, aside from my grandmother and a couple of teachers, were Girl Scout troop leaders.

Maybe going wouldn't be so bad just to catch the commercials and the half time show. We never get invited anywhere for parties I feel sorry for my son about that but I don't miss it.

Mine was the same way. I have underwear stories too... She was so afraid I would grow up and leave her. Wonder why I ended up moving halfway round the world as soon as I was old enough

Thanks RTS!!

Sometimes my CBT T will even get in my car with me. One morning he must've just eaten breakfast because my car smelled like peanut butter for a few hours. Funny little things help me distract from the fear.
