Hi gals,
It's been one of those weeks. I'm still sick and am battling bronchitis and a sinus infection. The meds are just now starting to work. Being sick completely threw me off track and I literally feel like I'm starting all over again from scratch. Being sick for the past week completely threw me out of rhythm and I'm so frustrated!!!!!!!!!

It just hasn't been a good week period!! We had like 1 nice day and then more frickin rain!!I had to cancel my haircut appt d/t still being sick. Rescheduled it for next week. Haven't exercised on the treadmill....not even once Haven't been following my points on WW Back to feeling tired and lethargic Feeling really frustrated in my marriage Just don't feel like DH and I are connecting and just last night I was just nitpicking trying to start a fight with him. Why? No idea..he was just annoying the hell out of me. He just doesn't communicate with me about anything. Like I tried talking to him last night about something and he starts looking at a coupon book. it's like he is just tuning me out. That really pissed me off and I pointed out it's like he's not even interested in what I have to say.

I've been thinking lately about how it feels like it was a HUGE mistake moving two years ago. I'm hating the town I live in, not crazy about my older daughter's school, and really not cool with the fact that I have no anonymity living in such a small town. I'm feeling like the past two years have just been one disaster after another and we just can't get a break on anything.

Sorry to be such a downer on a Friday but I'm feeling really lousy and could really use some cheering up Thanks for letting me vent here. I'm determined to get back on track next week but this week has been a disaster.

Kara

Dear Kara,

I'm sorry things are so sucky for you right now. Big Hugs! I don't really know what kind of advice to give as my own situation is pretty crappy right now due to stress and anxiety. It is kind of hard to me to give advice to make you feel better when I can't seem to make myself feel better. Just know that you aren't alone.

The one thing that I can suggest is to try to change the way you think about things. I find that often if one thing is bad or difficult in my life that tends to color my view on everything else in my life -- sort of like putting on sun glasses. You put on the glass to dull the sun but they then darken everything even when you aren't in the sun. You have to remember to take off the sunglass when indoors. Does that make any sense? Don't fall into the emotional transference trap.

Other than that all I can say is that I understand. I hope you feel better soon!

Allison

Kara.. Im sorry I couldnt post yday, I wasnt home but for 20 minutes all day!

Okay... first.. go right down 5 positives. Do that everyday. Stop dwelling on the negative and look towards the positive.

As for dh.. hes probably tuning it out because you have been nitpicking him. Instead of getting into a fight, hes tuning you out to keep peace.

Start back with counting points. Forgot about exercise until you feel better. Dont push it.
