It's been almost week since he left. And this has been one of the hardest weeks ever. I went 3 days without talking to him and it drove me nuts. I just wanted to make sure he got to his destination safely. He had no clue either he wouldn't be able to call when he finally got there. But all is well in that part of my world again. I talked to him 4 times in the last 2 days. I LOVE my husband.
Today started Shannon's first week at her therapeutic preschool. I have had so much fun with her the last few days. I'm glad to finally be getting my relationship back with her. I also started back up at the gym today. That treadmill kicked my butt! I ran a 13 min/mile though. Not as good as my 12 min/mile a month ago or so, but I'm sure I will do it again in no time. Once husband goes to bed tomorrow, I will be back at the gym! This time I won't come home and head straight for the cobbler though. ;o)
Anyway, I called a psychologist today to set up an appointment. While husband is gone, I REALLY want to take the time to work on me. Physically, spiritually, all that jazz. Doing housework usually outside from the norm has really helped me lately. I feel good at the end of the day knowing either the clothes are completely folded or the dining room table is completely cleared off.
I also have myself convinced I have a mild to slightly more than mild case of hoarding. It's embarrassing. And I really don't want to end up like these people on the hoarding shows. Besides, I think it would help husband to get rid of some stuff too if he comes back and sees I have done the same. This pretty much started for me as a child. I would hang on to EVERYTHING. One time when I was close to 10 probably, my dad told me it was time to get rid of all my "baby toys." So, I went to visit him the following weekend, just to find he had taken all that stuff and burned it all. I found the smoldering ashes, and some remnants as well. So, I really want to know if that possibly has something to do with why I am the way I am. I still have all my stuffed animals I had as a child. I never wanted to get rid of them, because I was afraid some other little kid wouldn't treat it as good as I would.
Anyway, it's getting late. I have to have Shannon up and ready to get on the little school bus pretty early. Hope you all have a good week!

Awww, that's so sad about your toys!!! How could you NOT be affected by that!!?!?
You should start having yard sales... to earn some cash... for your tote addiction!
Yeah.. I was definitely thinking of selling some stuff on Ebay.
You should! I've sold shoes, fabric, home decor stuff... tons of stuff on ebay. And bought tons of stuff too. Love that place! My new favorite place to go right now, though, is Etsy. Handmade and vintage goods...everything is sooo nice. Well, almost everything. And cheap!
