I need a hug--I just had a major fight with my 9 year old.
Hubby is away on bidness and I'm in tears. It's 11:00 here in AZ and both of us should be in bed.

The heartaches really are worth it. I know, but right now I only see trees; the forest seems to have vanished.

1. Take a deep breath
Try and remember some of the joy your children bring to your life...

:hug:

3. Thanks; my yawns are coming fast and furious, so maybe I'm relaxed enough
for bed.

Oh, man, it hurts though.

2. I'm sorry, bal.
:hug:

I remember those days with my mom. Those hormones are probably beginning to kick in about now.

4. Thanks. I think he misses his daddy more than he's willing to let on
right now--I know I do (hubby's in PA now).

5. Fights with the kids are the worst
Hopefully after a good night's sleep, the two of you will be fine with each other. :hug:

6. He's asleep, so I'm heading for bed, though not expecting sleep.
Maybe I'll throw "Blazing Saddles" into the DVD...

Thanks everyone. Hubby was sorely in need of rest so he wasn't much help.

DUers always come through!
