The Couch Get's 86'd (it's now under the end zone at Giant's stadium)

My husband is gone more than 300 days of the year because of his job. I've always hated being alone and now I "married" into it...

Being alone is all I'm used to. I want to feel connected to people, but it somehow feels safer alone. I don't know how to 'be' around people. I'm too busy saying and doing the 'right' thing - it's an incredible effort.

I cherish the rare moments I am alone. I am with teenagers literally 24 hours a day, usually in large groups of them, and then I come home to my own. Don't get me wrong; I love them, but I kill for "me" time. I have found a really happy medium though. I've learned that I can have me time doing things with other people than my students and family: chorus, church choir, Bible study. I've found those activities very self nurturing while also being interactive. The best of both worlds.

Does it help to think of it as suing the insurance co instead?

Yes but wouldn't it be easier to play nice, pay for the damages, and skip the whole suing?

Would you represent me in court SD?

I think MKAC is probably the better trial attorney here.

I think the kid and his parent need a healthy dose of stopdogging!

In the long run, probably not. There is such a thing as being too nice

I feel like I need to be alone for a weekend. Just me. That'll never happen. I'm alone for like an hour or two a week.

So my son decided to pull his pants down in the middle of the gym at that dance... Someone stick a fork in me, I am so done with this day!

Shakey - do you still have that peanut butter? You might need a slug of it.

Oh Js.. My son does that at home all the time, I pray he doesn't ever do it in public.. hang in there momma!

*sits in the corner*

I'm going to buy a tent and start going camping by myself. Even if it's just camping in my backyard. I crave alone time... it's so recharging and energizing for me.

I agree it is recharging and energizing, but I would much rather do it in a hotel room with a hot tub and room service :O)

I need to be alone at times. It's like I can't function until I get that time.

I'm all for cutting to the chase and suing

I adore being alone; it's a necessity. I assume it's not just because I am so introverted, but also because I am an only child. And because people drive me nuts.

Sigh.

Trying to not get triggered. Blah !!!!

I turned on a nature special and fell asleep for over 3 hours, which is REALLY good for me. Of course, I am wide awake now...

I think I'm going to put my earbuds in and try and sleep. I need to distract... Night couchies.

'Night catonyx!

I've got my sister coming around tonight. She always triggers me talking about our childhood. She likes to talk about our family and I don't. I know she's just trying to make sense of everything, but I'm not there yet. I always find it so stressful listening to her and, at the same time, figuring out the best response to close the topic while in the midst of being triggered.

You are not disgusting.

What?! Who said that?!
