can't sleep...

Happy June, Everyone. I can't sleep tonight. There is nothing more frustrating that knowing that you have to get up and do a million things in the morning, but not being able to fall asleep. Perhaps the stress of knowing I have a kagillion things to do is what is causing the insomnia. That is probably it. Still sleep evades me, and I have tried

I see a LOT of people get back together because divorce seems so hard. It is a serious life change like marriage, but unlike marriage, we often do not have the support of all our friends & family. And Disney has set us up to believe that Marriage is a step to happiness, but I can't think of any movies that show how things can improve as we go through divorce

Yeah! I know. He has just been apologizing a lot lately & talking about family & the good times we had...its really hard not to want to believe him & go after that dream of being that happy family...but I did that last time...& the time. Before that & look where I am. It does hurt though. Its like I'm being pulled in two directions even though I know it wouldn't be good to go back...& really he might be playing nice & all but not even wanting to get back together...but the implications are frustrating. & since I can talk to him directly about why I don't trust him I figured I would get it out of my head long enough to get some sleep. I know you are right... I just needed to say it "out loud" per se.

8-) I understand.

The best way I could stop the protestations was to point out that the person wanted one thing when they talked about it, but they were not able to propel themselves in that direction. It's a good thing for all of us to track... do our day-to-day actions really reflect what we SAY we want?

Good luck!
