Yes, 21 years ago I was headed to the hospital in labor; we missed having the same birthday by 2 hours.

Next Friday is youngest son's 17th birthday, and then we'll have the May birthday craziness over with.

7 1/2 more days with students. That's exactly 22 class periods with students in them. Not that I'm counting.
Happy birthday. And I envy your texas mexican food.

I am eating supper, as I only ate some bread this morning, and I am feeling a little bit better. My headache is not as bad.

I think you just need to tell H that you don't need to continue justifying it to him. You won't let your family go broke, so if it is something you want to do, he just needs to accept it. Period. THE END. I see no need for you to continue to freak out about if you should quit or not. If you don't want to, and your T thinks you still have reason to continue to see her....then there is no problem.
Thanks for this!

Called my son's daycare to confirm he'll be going next Thursday (last day of school is Wednesday) only to have them tell me they can't confirm til Monday because the program director is not there. Kind of a big deal as I have to be in court for a child support hearing on Thursday. Argh.

Ugh.. As much as I try not to make much out of the whole transference thing. Let me tell you, talking about sex, affairs, etc.. Has me wanting to reach out to T asking him to tell me he isn't going anywhere, or doesn't think I a bad our yucky. I hate this part of the relationship.

It's the best. I grew up in deep South Texas, used to the real deal. Fortunately, it is easy to find anywhere in Texas (but not always for the dirt cheap prices you can find near the Mexico border). My cousin's second husband is Mexican; we are very German. She is a tremendous cook. She's taught his family how to make German sausage (they make it by the hundreds of pounds at a time), and his family has taught her how to make tamales. The funny part is how she taught them a German technique for filling the tamales that saves time. Nothing like international cooperation in cooking!
Thanks for this!

Wow. If only I knew how to be so bold.

I guess I am getting pretty annoying around here on this subject. I'm sorry for that, I am, I'll try not to mention it again.

They better. It worries me b/c Thursday will likely be a difficult day to arrange last minute childcare what with it being the first day of summer vacation:/

Don't be sorry Art. It strikes me that maybe that's what your dream is about - embracing your ability to be bold...
Don't feel bad, keep talking about it. The couch is our safe place for all this stuff

Nevermind! I got mixed up! My daughter gets out of school on Wednesday, but my son has one more day. I knew this! I already have her childcare arranged.
Truly, if I have nothing to worry about I will invent something...
I'm actually kinda looking forward to the hearing. It's fun watching my ex make an eejit out of himself. I half want to go to his criminal proceedings on Wesnesday just so I can point and laugh...

Mention it as much as you like, Art. I'm not annoyed. I do wish you would just do it (stay in therapy) for yourself instead of worrying about what you should be doing. That alone would be a good reason to stay in therapy for a bit.

Never say you are annoying. This is a safe place to say things like that and get support from people like us. Just let it all out and we'll listen! Mention it as much as you want.

Oh oh oh I think it's coming together for me now. I love dream work so much. The young t in training is my animus trying to assert itself but I run away cuz I'm not feeling ready yet eh.... not yet able to hold onto my ME with my h.... I will do a dream re-entry and stay put this time and talk with my animus. Thanks y'all for sparking my imagination to that.

Actually feeling really good. I will probably feel awful tomorrow after graduation because of some things dealing with my OCD, but that's okay. I am fine for right now, and that is what matters. Thank you!
