I am sure it is has been a very long draining day for you. Can you turn the ringer on the phone off and the answering machine as well, you don't really need to listen to the blabbering for tonight anyway...but I just had a thought that it might be important to keep the messages.
Oh how Big Sis hit the nail on the head..( What *I* hear in this is -
I want to talk to her REAL bad so I can manipulate her and cajole and whine and threaten and beat her down until she is so confused that *I* can control what she thinks and says.) SO TRUE!
This is exactly why I know inside that I can't be around my ah, even a phone message from him plays with my head.
Tried to relax some tonight...
