Sorry about the argument. I was yelling at hubby about money this morning too. I am also one pound over ticker because of TOM and feeling a bit too jazzed up with my bipolar disorder...enough about me. May your scale move!

Hi Kelli~ I hate it when I feel unappreciated. I have finally learned that men (in general) just don't get it when it comes to understanding the whole "I appreciate you" thing. It sounds like the 2 of you need to sit down and have a real heart to heart conversation. My husband and I have finally learned that we have to continually work on communication. He always says........."I can't change it, if I don't even know about it." The problem with communication is that sometimes I get so mad that I don't want to talk to him. I've had to learn how to express my feelings without going commando on him.

I hope the evening is going better for you. Hang in there. I appreciate you!

Thanks Donica, that means a lot to me.

I do have to learn to talk and not yell. A lot of times if I'm upset about something I will write him a note because I am much calmer and that way it gives him time to think before he says anything, well, stupid! I did come home to a gift certificate for a pedicure and an ice scraper/brush for my car. I think that's my belated Valentine's presents and his way of saying he appreciates me. He's out of town tonight so won't talk to him until tomorrow.

By the way, I'm home! I got my computer back, finally, so now I'll be able to keep up with the posts on the weekends. WooHoo!

Its so nice to have you guys to talk to when I'm down and all the encouragement you guys give. Thanks again.

Expecting men to be understanding about your deepest feelings is like expecting your poodle to speak French. It would be nice, but it ain't gonna happen.

Well another compliant night. Have wing night tonight, but lately they have not been too big of a challenge for me. I'm hoping to take Thursday's off for awhile...they have been slow and I don't like to stand around because then my hands find their way to my mouth!

Was sleeping peacefully last night until I received a phone call from my oldest daughter. Her boyfriend of new was suppose to go to the house she was house sitting at and didn't show up so she was scared something happened to him. He usually calls. I told her he probably fell asleep, but of course I had to worry about that getting back to sleep. She just called again this morning and she still hasn't heard anything....I really do think he is sleeping. No accidents have been on the news so I'm sure he is fine.. Hope he calls her soon.

Uhm, Donica? Does that mean "going ballistic" or that "no underwear" thing, 'cuz I would think the latter could prolly be made into a prety good communication tool.

I'm just saying... :twisted:

Kelee, glad your cravings have subsided, and I hope your daughter's BF is all right!

Sojo~ I hadn't thought of it that way. The latter definitely could be a great communication tool, however, then he would be getting what he wants and my needs (at least some of them :twisted:

) would still be unfulfilled. Besides it would seem like he won the argument. Then again.....it would definitely shut him up.

Kelli~ any news on your daughter's boyfriend? I hope everything is OK.

Thanks for asking you guys....

Good news...the BF is okay. He fell asleep like I had told her. He pulled a muscle in his stomach and he took some muscle relaxers or something which he's not used to taking and it knocked him right out. Of course his cell phone wasn't anywhere near him, so he didn't hear it. She finally got a hold of him later yesterday morning and was relieved to hear that he was fine.....it doesn't matter how old they are you still have to fret everytime something goes wrong and feel their pain!

Last night went good working...hoping I don't have to go in tonight...really would like my Thursday night off again.

Kelli~ I hadn't heard from you in a few days.......how's it going?

I'm here Donica...thanks for checking in on me! Sorry, I still have trouble with "invalid session" coming up when I try to submit a message from home, so I have to wait til I get to work and I have been swamped lately.

Finally made it to the 20# club....February has been a very slow month and a little discouraging, but I'm hoping for a bigger loss in March! I can feel your frustrations, believe me. We must have the same body types and metabolism! Again, thanks for being there and I'm glad we're in this together.
