Myrta,

Thanks for your good wishes! I don't know what to expect from this trip yet. We're bringing our 2 teenage children, and my sister and her H are coming and they're bringing their 2 teenage children. I'm hoping that it'll be relaxing and that we'll have time alone (my H and me), but I don't know what to expect. We're all staying in OUR timeshare, which is 2 bedrooms, so there's not a lot of privacy there. But then again, my H and I have gone away with the children and we've stolen a few moments away from them in the bathroom! LOL. We'll see what this vacation brings!

The only sad note is that I've only gone away (on a plane) to see my OW. I went 4 times in 2.5 years. I'm so used to packing for myself and anticpating all of that time with her and with her family. Now I'm packing for all 4 of us and it's a little more stressful. I'm just hoping it all goes well and we'll be relaxed!

I just spent time today getting my hair highlighted (blonde, like I like it!), so I'm getting in the mood for this vacation. I'll let you know how it went when I get back! Hope i'm not in computer withdrawal!!!!!!!

Thanks for your kind words, as usual, and good luck with Stanley for the next week!

Myrta,

I took your advice (and that of a lot of my friends!) and had sex with H last night. It went okay and he seems a lot happier today. Seems like we're on the right path. Slowly but surely! Thanks again.

I am so happy for you CC!! Thats really good for you and your husband. Just keep on doing it, it will get more natural for you and him, as time goes by.
So you are a blonde now??? Hmm, you know what they say, "We,blondes have more fun!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
When you are in that time share place, just go off to the bathroom or somewhere while your kids are busy doing something. Those are the best times!!!!
I cannot wait for you to tell us what happened in this trip!!
Hope you have a great time with him and you come out a bit more from your "fog"..

Myrta,

Thanks for your best wishes! They mean a lot. I know I've been a difficult "patient" for you. I'm pretty stubborn, but I want you to know that deep down I'm really a good person!! My grandmother always referred to me as her "sunshine girl". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

I'm getting a lot of feedback from friends, family members and email buddies, who are trying desperately to pull me out of this fog. They feel that it's long enough that I'm grieving, and it's overdue that I move on. I'm pretty strong-willed, but even I am shocked by how I'm not moving forward at my normal pace! This is all new to me, and all I want is to feel more like myself and to regain my life back again. Hopefully my husband will be okay too! He doesn't talk much about how he's doing with all of this, but he seems to just want to be close to me and to give me my space at the same time. I'm thinking of what he told me when I first told him about D day. He said, "I knew about it, and I was waiting for you to either snap out of it or to tell me." That's how he is! He is a thinker, and he wants to weigh out the best method of handling me! So far he's been right!

I'll post as soon as I get back from vacation. I'll probably be back on Sunday, October 17th sometime. I"ll let you know what happened. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hope you and Stanley have a great week ahead. At least you're getting a little break from counseling me, huh? LOL. Take care!

P.S. Say "bye" to JL too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
