Mr tired grumpy

If you want a little different perspective, I see it this way. Yep Chovy has suffered from depression in the past but he's doing pretty well now. Biggest prob is that he is overworked (and a perfectionist too ) and he has a lot hanging in the balance with work at the moment. So even though I wouldn't say he's depressed these days, he definitely is under stress and being tired makes things even worse

Still, I think you're doing great Babe and I love you!

Aww you two are so awesome together to each other.

lol, chovy.. it's good to have someone that acts as a compliment to you. Me and mike seem to be the same, i mean we aren't always complete opposites theres plenty of middle-time, but it's nice to know if i'm having a bad day he's usually there to set me straight, and vice versa. I think that's what helps things work in a partnership/marriage - the willingness to involve yourself completely, see the person for what they are and what they need without judgement, you and Teresa seem to have that so well.

Loving it, that is seriously a great idea! I might just help myself to a wand and tiara from the multitudes in Maya's dressup box and wear it when I go to pick her up from preschool

I just want to clear something up. Your post didn't cause me any offense whatsoever. I appreciated your viewpoint and I actually got something out of it. Don't be afraid of saying something that might cause offense, as that is just stifling communication, and THAT is something you dont want to do or live with.

And hey! lookit the discussion it raised

You need to add more to the happy list.
You can breathe, you have tits (albeit on your sexy wife rather than your own body), you can spell, use punctuation (although I prefer COMMAS RATHER THAN FULL STOPS! and maybe a lot less caps...). You have a roof over your head, 2 working legs and arms, fingers to type with, a board of chattering women, the ability to sleep, the ability to call yourself a man (and a man with tits! albeit on your sexy wife) and take yourself seriously as a man, the ability to breath life into another persons body, someone you can hold close, people to complain about that aren't yourself, someone else's problems that you can respond to in a forum like this one, honesty, a sense of justice and fairness. You can call yourself a depressed perfectionist, convey words and expression through the master of time and space that is this compendium of the internet and at the end of it all you have...
