Thank you thank you thank you for the message box, and email box full of warm wishes, and support. It was an incredibly hard thing to do. I really wanted to make a difference, and I really wanted to be helpful, but found myself becoming more frustrated than helpful, and more worn out than filled up. As someone said the clothes no longer fit, and I kept pins in the waist band, and hiking them up, and trying. I knocked several things off my plate, all in one fell swoop. I did alot of alternative health and healing stuff, game stuff, I own the local freecycle, and I repair computers for the elderly, and low income families in town. To say I was busy is an understatement.
After this latest flair, which includes double ear infections, ON, and a trip to a bed other than my own for a while, the hubby snapped and asked for his wife back. I have been so busy giving to others, and covering for others, and helping others, and supportive of others, that I began to wander farther and farther away from my own nest. I was not able to simply go and enjoy places, and look up information for me, or shop for my own computer, it was always about something else, someone else, or caring for others instead of caring for me me me me me.
I also had several students that were in residence here, and all but one had gone through the course, and were very happy. I had one straggler that no matter how many times I explained it, or how many times I tried to repair it, she wasnt going to be happy. She stayed longer than anyone else, and became quite difficult to deal with. She was provided a partial refund and her unhappy butt was put on a bus. Even after I was admitted elsewhere, she thought she could stay at MY house, and "take care" of MY husband. God, I love that man. He called a female neighbor to escort her to her next stop, and told her to "GO AWAY!" He is so sweet! All mine!
The love and support that I have received here has been tremendous, and I am simply verklempt at all of the cheerleading, and support that has been directed AT ME! there has been no one standing in line saying "gimme, gimme" I know that you are sick, but "i need this" or "i need that" so,
MUCH LOVE TO ALL OF YOU! I have found so much love here. Thanks for helping me through such a difficult skip in my life. My choices to leave so many activities behind was shocking to say the least, but I need to focus on me and mine.
you guys rock!
