Singing that Beatles' song...last night was rough!

I got up around 4am with thoughts of them together. I just could not turn off! I must have read one too many posts yesterday and likely impacted my alrady vulnerable state of mind. Most times they are helpful, other times, I feel the opposite.

Around 5:30am I got up to make the kids' lunchs. Then I looked at an old Vanity Fair. There was Kate Middleton on the Best Dressed list. Honestly...I was so tired by then that I got back into bed and focused on her wardrobe.

Like I said...whatever gets you through the night!

Thank you my maple leafs friend!

Bought my Relora supplement for tonight so that will surely help. Plus my brain is tired.

I have to have the tv on. When its quiet and I close my eyes the memories come unbidden. If the tv is on I close my eyese and concentrate on what is being said. I drift off that way. If I wake up and the tv is off, SO does it sometimes, sometimes it goes into sleep mode,I turn it back on before the flood of memories comes back and before the haze of sleep goes away. I get about 5-6 hours on a good night.

I agree. I had so many nights I couldn't stop my brain from replaying everything from the A. My mind would spin and spin....

When I couldn't go to sleep I would close my eyes and imagine I have hit mega-bucks, like a few hundred million. I imagine my friends in a limo as we go and spread money around to people ... lol

I still do it to this day. I have gotten pretty good, I am usually asleep by the time the limo is pulling away from our friends house.

Sex. sex. and better sex with H. We've been in HB for 6 months when I found out about DDay #1 in November. Weird, isn't it? I know, I don't get it either. The only way we can explain it is that we really love each other...I know it sounds bad when I think of all the bad things he did...I can't explain it. I guess my Catholic school upbringing really did make me turn the other cheek and taught me to forgive and be compassionate.

I think for me, it's a physical way to ease the pain. SO, why not do it with something that feels good! lol. And, we truly do love each other, so that's good, too.

I like the millionaire fantasy! And good for you LibRocks! Our sex life is better then it has ever been....the HB stopped around month 4.5. I guess when I am SO angry, I can't imagine touching him. Perhaps the trick is to get to him before I hit that red-zone!
