<P> Hey,Bluestar.........(((SMOOCH)))!!!<P> Gotcha! Happy New Year! --Murph

<BR> Gee,Bluestar must be too hungover today to answer her messages! --Murph

Hey their Murph, <P>No not hungover, I had to work on New Years Day. I had a great New Years Eve and hope you did too.<P>I don't have much time these days to get on my computer.<P>Was wondering if you were on here that night. Did you get lucky enough to get a real smooch?? <P>Gotta go again. So much running to do.

Bluestar,<BR> You are still around!Thought maybe you went to Hawaii for New Years Eve.No,didn't get a real smooch that night.I went to a neighbors party,got a little sloshed,then came home and watched the fireworks on TV.For some reason remembered your message.How are things going for you? --Murph

Good evenving!<P>Just got through working 16 hours, so pretty much exausted. Things are going pretty good for me. My ex and I have been getting along pretty good, but have to take things slow. We haven't really talked much about our past problems and how they need worked on.<P>One big problem we had was my kids being such slobs. He is very tidy and they have to be screamed at pretty much to make them do anything around the house. My kids and I are still living away from him. I hope to be back with him in time, but dont want to subject him to the mess they cause. I am seeing a counselor alone. She tells me that I need to be more strict with them. They take advantage of me. I have Narcolespy so feel quite tired alot of the time, therefore I usually just give up and the mess stays as is.<P>My dr is working with me also trying new meds to keep me awake and give me energy. Not alot of luck yet. Will see him in a couple weeks. I have got to get them under control because it will just cause arguments with my ex again.<P>Any suggestions, I am all ears!!!!!!<P>Enough about me. How are things with you?<P>Better hit the bed now. Take care.<P>Bluestar

Bluestar,<BR> Glad to hear things are going well in reconciling with your ex.I hope things work out for you.Don't know how you do the 16 hr days,though,with having narcolepsy.Did your health problems contribute to your breakup? Just curious,because I get tired due to my health,and I think that didn't help matters.You might try taking extra vitamins.I've been taking Vitalerts,4 a day as recommended,and they seem to give me a boost.I don't know if you have a Costco warehouse store where you're at,but they're cheaper there.My sister has been divorced for years,raising two kids on her own.I don't know how she does it,because they turned out to be pretty good kids(with a little help from their uncle!)As far as me,I've become pretty independent.W still living with her trophy-boyfriend.If/when I get divorced,not sure if I'll ever get married again.This whole mess has left a bad taste in my mouth.There are some advantages to being on your own,choosing how to spend money,etc.but it does get lonely.Even with your friends,you don't have that"connection",like you do with your spouse.By the way,if a messy house from the kids was the biggest problem in your marriage,what's he got to complain about?Kids do eventually grow up,right?Talk to you later.Take care. --Murph
