Thanks to all your supportive comments! It's funny how a kind word can make things seem so much better. I'm still waiting for the return call back from the counsellor I left a message for. I'm assuming by Monday she should call back. I haven't told Joe or anyone else in my family. I already know what Joe will say. He'll say if it makes me feel better than do it. He's not one for talking about it. I think he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Today was my day off from work. As usual Samantha did not nap. I have a hard time putting her down for a nap. With others she usually goes to sleep no problem. Usually no nap means an early bed time. She's finally over her cold and cough. Well more like it isn't as bad as it was before. It's still congested and getting her to use that aspirator is torture. I wish she could blow her nose.
The above was written around 6ish. It's now 8:30 and Samantha is upstairs with Joe. Hopefully it won't take him too long to get her to fall asleep. The night time routine has been pretty long & exhausting over the last 5 months.
I'm going to go conk out now. Maybe finish my last new novel. I'm reading Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. Good book.

Have you seen the battery operated aspirators at Walmart? I'm gonna get one the next time Chicka has a cold.
Glad you feel a bit better...you will feel tremendously better once you get a chance to work through some of your feelings. Also, I didn't tell anyone I was seeing a 'shrink' for a very long time and even now only specific people know.
As for the bed time routine...Bug is fabulous at bedtime and Mouse has been horrible HORRIBLE since birth!!!!!!!! I can relate to difficult bedtimes.
Oh honey, I'm glad you're taking steps to get yourself feeling better. And hey, bedtime isn't stressful if someone else is taking care of it, right ;)
please don't hesitate to email me if you feel like chatting.
