First of all, lemme just say -- if she won't consider your point of view, and you do consider hers, it doesn't sound as though *you're* the one who maybe ain't putting out a lot of brainpower here... And you know what, Peg? It's OK to say that someone else is not behaving well. You don't have to take it all on yourself, you know?

Trust me on this -- not *everything* is our fault.

I agree with -- sorry, brain burp, I think it was Daisy? -- who said that asking your husband for a little slack would be a good thing about now.

As for coping, though, that's really why I decided to post. You know what I used to do at the point my head was about to explode? I'd go into the Ladies Room -- yes, if anyone wonders, that was and is the appropriate door for me -- and ran cold water over my wrists until I started to feel calmer. I don't know if it was the cool water, or just the time away, but it did help. Maybe it'll help you, too?

(Maybe, if you try that, you could spend the time thinking about the people making suggestions for you right now? You know, "No matter how bad it is out there right this minute, a lot of Babblers care about me?")

Good luck.
