This has actually been a pretty positive week with the old h. No LBs, nice conversations,polite............and then today he came by to drop off some money for our son's trip. Said, yeah really tired,complained about possible kidney stones (Oh how awful!!) exhaustion, ad nauseum, had to go to breakfast with a couple of old friends (ours by the way!!) then off to bed. <P>No, he said when I asked him to get his daughter later. "I have to do laundry,catch up on some stuff,and get some sleep."<P>Oh alright I said.<P>Now keep in mind he probably won't see the kids until next weekend. Isn't that just wonderful.<BR>So just called to let him know that our son got off okay and will call me later." <P>Well, wouldn't you know my fine h just walked in. Had to "help a friend move today."<P>Now someone please tell me the utter unadulterated selfishness of THAT!!<P>I can help my friends but I can't possible find the time to mow the grass for my wife. OOOOOO Too busy. Nor can I help repair the garbage disposal. OOOOOOO will have to wait.I'm working all the time...............you know.<P>Please, someone explain this one.<P>Oh God please bless us all indeed.<P>LKD

I just wanted someone,anyone to comment please..........<P>Dear God,Bless us all indeed.<P><BR>lkd

Heavenly Father, be with Ikd as she struggles with her doubts and anger. Give her peace and comfort. Surround her with supportive and loving friends. We do not always understand your ways O Lord, but we know that You will never abandon us. We can lay the messes of our lives at the cross and your mercy and grace covers them. You are truly Lord of all. Amen.<P>I know exactly how you feel - sounds alot like where I am. But you are not alone . . .

Hi lkd -<BR>It's funny how the grass is always greener. I am kind of annoyed because my H comes to my house and tries to fix things. To me, it's not his house anymore so he should stay out of it and pay attention to my daughter. Instead he mows the lawn, etc.<P>I guess we have two different points of view. I am probably still mad at him so I don't want his help and you think yours should be helping. Maybe you could not ask him stuff and act like it's not his house anymore like I do and then watch him do everything he can to stay involved with it... I am half-kidding but I wanted you to see how it all depends on your point of view.<P>I don't want my H feeling his job is done because he is "taking care" of things. He isn't. If that is the definition of a husband, I just have to pay for it. For once, I'd like to see him be of some emotional help. But he won't be ready for that without some serious divine intervention. (!!)<P>I hope you're feeling better... Love, T
