Like, all day long. For example, a few days before Eric's trip, I was washing the kitchen floor, having an imaginary conversation with Eric about how I didn't need to be washing it on my hands and knees, and why did the floor need to be clean anyway, it wasn't that dirty and why didn't I just relax (he was saying this in my mind, which was really me saying it). By the time I was done cleaning the floor, I was furious with Eric."<br><br>I do this all. the. time. I am a little better now (who am I kidding?) but at the start of my pregnancy it got so bad that one day Andrew asked me, very patiently "Honey, are you mad at me for something I said, or something you imagined I said?" and it hit me (after a brief period of feeling righteous and pissed off) that he was right. It was all in my head. <br><br>I think I need that book. Happy to hear things are looking up - I've been reading you over on hipmama, but thought I would come here to comment because, frankly, I love getting comments on my blog and so I am hoping for some comment karma.Katehttp://idyllia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279436999534880270.post-46129396061020596022007-07-25T03:17:23.000-07:002007-07-25T03:17:23.000-07:00Wonderful post, love.

Makes me feel like we've been on a similar trajectory and, for what it's worth, a lot of stuff you're learning from Mindful Loving are core principles from the Breakthroughs class at Mile Hi. Look how the Universe gave you volleyball AND the principles! ;-)Nannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279436999534880270.post-87803752442556903632007-07-25T04:14:53.001-07:002007-07-25T04:14:53.001-07:00If its any consolation I have a heart murmur too. ...If its any consolation I have a heart murmur too.

Almost nightly, I felt that Steve just wasn't with it, not getting up to attend to her as fast as he should, not comforting her in the way she needed. and it got to the point where I felt he didn't respond to my needs as he should. That he didn't care for me, never really cared for me. <br><br>These were some of my thoughts on those late nights: I'm leaving this man in 18 years, after my baby has gone off to college. But I'm staying for now. For Gwen.<br><br>Pretty funny when I think about it now. Steve had the presence of mind to remind me that these first few years are the hardest on a marriage and I'm the one railing at him. Every now and again when needed, I remember this & take a deep breath.<br><br>Kids have a way of being resilient in the face of bad stuff but I think adults do too. We just sometimes forget that we too can bounce back in a healthy way.<br><br>Love you.

Thirty, forty years ago women fought for the very right to legitimately expect something from their husbands in the realm of housework, childcare, and emotional presence. 'Course, such things still aren't on the table for many women, but it's significant that many women are complaining about not enough support, as opposed to no support at all. And still, controlling the inner dialogue still makes a huge difference.Nannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279436999534880270.post-87127398387927494392007-07-27T04:29:26.000-07:002007-07-27T04:29:26.000-07:00I did mention you had to pay royalties for "s...I did mention you had to pay royalties for "shit-ton", right?<br>You should go buy yourself a frickin ice cream sunday.
