Hi all, well I think I practiced self care for the first time today. This morning I was trying to be cheerful and redress AH a cute pic of our boy, but no reply. About an hour later I called him and he was acting all moody and like he was busy and mad at me. So that got me mad. Later, I was trying to do the checkbook online and saw lots of expensive charges that he made. So I called him and we fought about the budget that I've been trying to get him on board with, but he wasn't hearing it. So, after that I was sooo mad and got ready to go clothes shopping myself, screw it, I'll show him I was telling myself. But I was feeling so weak inside and didn't even have the energy to shop, so I decided to take the kids on a stroller walk at this walking path I know, and that actually felt better than being irresponsible with money. Besides, it really wouldn't show him anything. And it would have been betraying my own budget. So, I stopped the insanity! For today at least:)
I bet it was a beautiful day too!! Good for you for doing what is best for you.
Hugs P :)

good for you- well done. it would have been so easy to spend money you dnt really have just to momentarily feel better- when in fact it will only make yu feel worse. you can at least stick to the budget becuase it really will go tits up if both of you dont. is there any way you can restrict your hubbys spending- what does it go on- booze?
