I think it's amazing so far. (um, it's only been 2 days) But TRULY I have noticed a difference. It IS kind of time consuming but I am working on getting efficient about it. Even so, it's worth doing 20 mins/night at the end of the day. I am finding it kind of relaxing and contemplative, to look back on the day and think about the various choices I made at various points. Anyway, yeah, it's been TWO DAYS so check back in a month or so and see how it's going (heh). ohhhh do try the photo blog! I think it’s amazing so far.

I was reading some forums on people's thoughts of him. He doesn't seem to be too highly regarded lol. Is it b/c Dr Barnard is thought to have his own agenda and some might call him a quack?

Your job IS a sahm. Ahh. Well..... all I can say is if I had chosen that path it would have utterly killed me AND my kids. Is there any middle ground? A part time job that is satisfying? (that has been my salvation, and now I'm fulltime again after many years) Anyway, again I repeat the compassion. Sending hugs. Oh.. just re-read this. Your job IS a sahm. Ahh.

I have been there. And in fact, several times over the course of my kids' childhood when I actually "ran away" in sheer frustration and desperation. Probably a couple of times a year I checked out and went to a movie by myself. Once or twice I actually checked into a hotel overnight. Later I ended up going to writing colonies for a month at a time. This saved my sanity AND my family, I think. Now my kids are older - 19 and 15 - and life is much, much easier for all of us. I'm happier. (I also think this has to do with getting healthy and developing my OWN LIFE) But it was very gnarly for many many years. There were years of intense sibling bickering that drove me insane and which I was ill equipped for. (I was an only) It was so so hard. I just send you loads of compassion and hope that you can find some respite every once in a while. And maybe a job that feels better. Sweeter, I feel you. I have been there.
