Back on Track

Hey Patty,
I completely understand where you're coming from with the clutter issue. I, like my grandmother, throw away nothing. I keep all papers and anything that I "might" need later. I'm running out of storage room fast. I hate to sell/give away any of my daughter's old things, I have everypaper sent home from preschool through this point of second grade. I chose to think of it as a learned behavior as my grandmother hoarded things too...books, pictures, papers, newspaper clippings. I never stopped to think, even with my professional background that I had "issues." :p :p :p

Have a great day Patty...and good luck with the work load!
 
I'm sorry 2 hear about you and your husband, i hope you guys choose what is best, but whatever the outcome I know you can get through it!
 
Hey patty, coming by to check up on ya. Sorry to hear your talking about seperating... whatever the outcome, I wish you nothing but the best.

As for your workout routine, glad to hear your taking a rest. You know your body better than anyone and you certainly don't want to get burnt out. You're doing great Patty!
 
Aww poor Pattycakes! So sorry to hear about you and the hub. Like Mikey said - whatever the outcome, I hope it works out for the best.

Enjoy the rest, gotta do what the bod. tells you. Gah - it's just so demanding! Food, potty, exercise - pffft, having a body is like owning a dog. lol.. hope this get better for you. *hugs*
 
Thanks you guys. It really lifted my spirits to check in this morning and see encouraging words from you. It's been a hard week.

*HUGS* Im so sorry to hear this Patty...Im hear for ya to vent to talk to or whatever anytime...and even if it is the best desicion or right decision or whatever it will still hurt and suck...Ive been there and done that...just remeber to take care of yourself in the process...I will be thinking about you...
 
Hey mate its so hard to tell yourself its ok to get rid of things I was on the path to keeping everything and thankfully realized in time that I was hording and had to do something about it before it was to late. Once every 6 months now I go through everything and sort it out or I would end up needing shipping containers to store it all lol. I hope you get everything worked out at home best of luck Hun.
 
hiya rose. it always was hard for me to let go of things. suddenly i'm ready though. perhaps it's related to other difficulties i'm facing, but i want to cleanse my life of all it's clutter.

it's a project, but i'm ready.

thanks debi and tla, i will take you up on that offer to talk/vent sometime. it is the right decision, but it doesn't make it any easier.
 
it is the right decision, but it doesn't make it any easier.

No, it doesn't - it's a tough road no matter what. You do have to do what's right for you, and sometimes just knowing what that is is the hardest part.

Are you running? The 5K is coming up!
 
Ok..I totally missed the separation post, went back to try to find it and still didn't see it...but nevertheless I am sorry to hear this. It is a tough situation to go through, but like everyone else I pray that whatever the outcome it is what is best in the long run. You are a strong woman Ms. Patty, but know that I'm here if ever you need...you don't have to carry the load alone.
 
This may sound silly, but I cry right now every time I read posts from you guys. Just to have someone be nice and supportive....

Anyway, the short story is I've been married 8.5 years. My husband is a good man. We both have our faults. We run a business together that has taken a toll on us. It has been a great financial strain for about 6 years. It is finally turning around, but everyone knows what financial problems can do to a marriage.

Well, we are friends, but we don't get along. We fight all the time. I won't list all our faults. I just don't want to fight any more. I don't want counseling. I just want peace and to be out. He is upset and doesn't want to give up. Somehow he thought we could just keep going on the way we are.

We have small children, and they deserve to be in a loving environment.

Honestly I think he and I will be friends down the road. We are going to go to counseling to learn to deal with each other better in the future.

Didn't walk since Monday. Either don't eat or ate poorly this week. Had a couple beers, not much. Weight stayed about the same. Stress must be eating the extra calories.

RAN my 5K today. About 32:39. My first one. Very proud I did it. Found a woman who jogs about my pace and followed her. We introduced ourselves after and she said it was good to have someone jogging alongside. It was fun. I'm ready to sign up for my next one - The Turkey Trot.

Thanks for your support everyone.
 
That's the great thing about this forum, it's the fact that it isn't a forum... it's more of a community. I am sorry to hear you are going through such a stressful situation, you seem pretty strong and you'll be fine. If not, us forumer's are here whenever you need to vent. :)

Way to go on the 5k! 32 minutes? Impressive, my first 5k was nowhere near as good. Keep it up patty!

*A Texas style, Canadian sized Bearhug* :D
 
Nice job on your 5K run Patty, I'm proud of ya :)

As for the rest, time heals all. Sometimes we wish the teletransporter on Star Trek was real don't we *sigh*
 
Hii Pattycakes! Gotta love this place - such wonderful people I can't imagine getting this far without you guys. Sorry again about you and the hubs situation. You sound like a strong woman - you'll come out of it all just fine. Great job on the 5k!! That's fantastic & yay on the jogging buddy!
 
You never no what the future will bring mate and its funny how your life can turn around on a dime. Woo hoo on your run, you go girl. It’s amazing who we can meet up with when we walk out the door, you may have met a life long friend. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
