That's just me though, I think a contributing factor to how I got to where I am now is that I overwhelmed myself....tried to do too much all at once and burnt myself out eventually. Once I had a couple of glasses of wine under my belt I could shut it down for the day. Not sure if that makes sense or not. Kiki I am so sorry you have to deal with marriage issues at this time as well. Another place where I have lucked out I guess. My husband has been annoyed with me more than a few times, a couple of times he was downright pissed off, but overall, not much damage done. He really is a great and supportive man who just said to me 'I knew you would call it quits when enough was enough". Don't get me wrong, I am sure I could royally mess things up if I don't take control of this now while everything is still intact. Thank you Keepnitreal!! You are doing awesome too! GoldenSands - I am glad hubby and I could laugh about it too....I never said he was smart....hahahaha ps. I don't mind the snow either...it's the -25C and 50 km/hr wind that I mind (or -13F and 30 miles/hr depending where you live)
