5 more days

5 more days until orientation and already you could cut the tension with a knife. Yesterday was awful. I know from experience that when he gets tired, he gets cranky and when I want attention, it's a deadly combination. We had a fight and he walked away, later I told him I understand he's tired but not to take that out on me. I think he understood, and he confessed that he's really anxious about starting school. I can totally understand and I want to be here and be his support, but if every day is like yesterday, then yikes. And he hasn't even started school yet.

Thank you for the comment on my blog! I would love to offer any support/encouragement that I can. I am a single mom so I may end up dating in this mess as well--in fact I have a date on Wednesday and he has already asked how I am planning to fit dating into my schedule (between kids, work, and law school I AM busy!) so I have to work through that myself.

Many of the books/blogs that I have read mention that you shouldn't forget your friends/family/social life while in school. I know that that is easier said than done but we'll see how it all works out!

Good luck to you and your boyfriend here at the beginning. Stress is normal--we aren't sure what to expect and we're full of dread--in fear of being the first person called on! My orientation isn't until the 27th/28th so I am still trying to stay blissfully ignorant of the impending school year (and failing!!)
