[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 133192, member: 3907"] Ahhh, the blissful quiet. Suz, I can relate to enjoying minutes (or even seconds) of quiet. These last few weeks, I think I'm finally getting used to the idea that difficult child has a fully staffed wraparound team at his disposal and I don't have to jump fully into crisis mode every few hours. A couple weeks ago, husband surprised me by setting up a free ballroom dance class for me at a local dance studio. At the introductory class, I had so much fun that I signed up for the term. I have been learning to salsa, cha-cha and swing dance and I am having [B]SUCH [/B]a good time. This is the first time in years that I have done something purely for myself, purely for enjoyment. I'm not taking classes to improve my skills at work, or to learn strategies for dealing with difficult child issues, or anything of the sort. This is just fun, pure and simple. The best thing about the dance classes...as the woman, I don't have to make any of the decisions. I just have to keep my feet moving and follow where I'm led. It is so delightful not to have to be the one in control for a change. And yes, I am DYING for spring to get here. As soon as the weather is warm enough to open up the windows, I am planning to paint the house. I am tired of living with husband's ex-W's colour scheme. Her taste runs to depressing colours and I'm looking forward to brightening the place up. Nothing particularly exciting, just simple pleasures that I'd lost sight of for years. Trinity [/QUOTE]
