[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 135597, member: 3388"] Good Morning Everyone:coffee: Linda, I totally agree with you - As parents of difficult children, I believe it is absolutely 100% totally necessary that we have lives of our own, outside of those we share with our difficult children in order to not only survive life, but to actually enjoy it!!! To me this is an extreme understatement!!! It took me finding all of you to learn this fundamental fact. I'm just now beginning to put my life back together after years and years and years, etc. of just feeling as though I was a doormat for difficult children to wipe their feet on... Sharon, I hope dinner with difficult child goes well!!! No matter how tired you are, enjoy the book club!!! in my humble opinion, it is one of the best things you can do to take care of yourself today. Sharon, I'm so proud of you!!!:treadmill::exercisebike::yourock: Way To Go!!! I haven't been around much lately as things with difficult children have been rough. The little free time I've had, I've been spending doing things just for me!!! During my "ME" time, I REFUSE to think about the fact that I have difficult children!!! I think I'm finally beginning to heal after years of just existing... Anyway, while it is cool here today, the sun is out:happy2:. I'm planning on taking my favorite "sanity saver" for a long walk.:cool_dog: She has a scheduled surgery at the end of the month and I have to confess, I'm a bit scared... Anyway, I hope all of you have at least one reason to laugh or at least smile today...:flower::st_patrick: WFEN [/QUOTE]
