Just sticking my head in the door to say hello...

[Shannon]

Well on what was to be the first day of my sabbatical, the DH comes up with an abscessed tooth.
However, after I basically slept for 2 and a half days, we had the first of what I feel will be several "dialogues". My batteries were truly run down. I can't believe how tired I was. Yonkie and Adair send head nudges, and PeaNut sends one of his patented "whinny-ha-ha's"! They have been pretty sweet, and I think our Schnoodle, Riley, has nearly gotten permanent brow furrows from worrying at me lately.
Please keep up with the good thoughts - I know SOMETHING has to be helping...

Oh - since it may be a while before I post - the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation farm in New York has some nice horses just in now (this being straight from the horses's mouth, so to speak) If anyone is interested, please email me directly. Niaru?

So good to hear from you! Yes, keep up that dialogue - it's always a good thing to get everything out in the open. Most husbands are not capable of reading our minds, are they?! Speaking from experience, marriage is the hardest job you'll ever have, and the pay is lousy, too! ;D Take care and give a scratch to each of your guys for me.

And good that you and DH (WHat DOES that mean?) are talking. Maybe you can just tune in to the important stuff and let everything else roll for a while. I'll be sending peaceful wishes your way.

[Lynne]

I've been thinking about you. Please pop in and let us know how you are. Its sometimes so lonely in the tough times. Pop in ever so often and let us do something....right now I'm getting you a drink! Bara is preparing a warm footbath and soon we'll have you feeling papmpered and relaxed enough to continue...

Adcooper, DH you dingy (and I only say that b/c I just figured it out last week) is Darling Husband. Doesn't work for me...I need DS or something like that...

DSOCaFB (darling sit on couch and fart boy) ?

[adcooper]

I can't cope with all these changes. Besides, I have you pictured as 5'8", 125#, a mane of smushed banana hair. "Shortfat" never makes me think of you, so I slowly realize each time just who you are! Have to rely on clues such as hilarious humor and smart remarks about your SDHS--so dear heroic sweetheart. We know he's a good guy!

[ZenRider]

Know what you mean about not having much time. Speaking of which, I should be getting ready for work right now. :bang:

[Lynne]

Listen, if changing my name from shortfat back to Lynne will make me 5'8 and 125# I will do it AND send you fifty dollars!

[adcooper]

Lynne! This is negative progress! I should have known better than to stir things up. Sigh.... Look. How about you change to "Lovely Lynne"? Very appropriate.
