    Toots thanks so much for your thoughtful post.
    Think there are some feelings about work but don't think its jealousy with DH but maybe a bit of guilt that he manages so well when I am at work and got quite a bit done in house but I don't manage that when he's at work to the same extent.
    but it is new to him and he was only having to maintain it for a couple of weeks so he could give it more than I can I guess. I have to pace myself more. or at least thats my excuse LOL.
    very true that I have to recognise the feelings before I can work on them too.
    thanks for the tip about the debt free board too.

    When I read my post back I had a sudden panic that I'd been rather blunt, and I was worried you'd feel that, so sorry if I hurt you in any way. You're right about OH managing on a temporary basis though, and I suspect that while he might have done a good job of keeping on top of things, there are still things that weren't done but would have been if roles had been reversed. It was a novelty for him - I don't mean that his time at home was trivial, just that it was new to him for a while so not oppressive to have to keep house etc. Not sure I'm making myself clear hun, but please give yourself a little break and stop expecting so much of yourself. You give so much to us here, you need to give to yourself a little.

    Huge hugs, always here for you *hug*
