Things are feeling a little better today. Last night, dh and I had a long talk about everything.

I told him that I quite simply have to have a break so that I have time for me occasionally. Everything that I do seems to be geared towards meeting someone else's needs. Something important missing in my life is.....me.

We've agreed to find a sitter one morning a week so that I can get out and just have time for myself. He has also offered to take a few days off so that I can fly out and visit my mom one weekend.

Surprisingly, he agree with everything that I said last night...he realizes that he hasn't been giving me any time to myself and recognizes that I need a break from the house too.

He let me leave for a few hours and go to Barnes and Nobles and it was...fabulous. I didn't have to chase any kids around or sit in the kid's area with them while he got to browse through the "grown-up" books. I got to have coffee and walk through every book section that I wanted..I haven't done something like that in ages...really.

We have also been trying to put our house on the market...but I've been the one painting the house, doing repairs, calling the floor people about getting our floors sanded, etc....and he has agree to help out now. His excuse has always been "I have to work" [Roll Eyes] He didn't realize how many things I have on my "to do" list and how burned out I am..

I feel relieved to know that I will be getting a break.
