Tea and Sympathy!

It's very early in the morning and I've already been to bed once. I woke up congested and with a coughing fit so decided a nice hot cup of tea would help solve several problems. So, it's me and the cats and just my thoughts that are running wild tonight!

 We watched the amazing race tonight and laughed and joked about the entire show. At one point the bowling moms had to parasail down a mountain and Charlie turned and looked at me and asked if I would do that? I thought it a strange question as I can't see either of us competing in something like that as it would certainly bring out the worst in both of us!

We don't handle stress well anymore.....maybe because we are always in it! Seems like since there are just the two of us now that anything that happens is always my fault. I know deep down in my heart of t hearts that he is only reacting, but I always take offense and overreact to him which sets the dominos in motion. 

    Charlie is sweet and kind to everyone but me.....(probably because he knows I'll forgive him and also I know him so well that I pick up all the irritation and frustration signs before others.) So either we need to be kinder to each other or I need to develop thicker skin! 

    Suzy and Tim are making a bookshelf/wall mount desk unit for my little nook of an office. I'm very excited about the prospects. I like having the stacked washer/dryer upstairs but it has also changed my porch office a lot to accommodate it. I'm very excited about this addition even though it will be quite costly.

  However, it is my favorite nook in the entire house and where I tend to spend most of my time. Well, the tea and sympathy helped.....think I'll try sleeping again...Good Night Moon!
