Jean, that all makes sense for sure. I've tried just about everything to cure my insomnia except prescription meds - which I won't do. I don't know if I could sit still for any type of meditation, I'm on the hyper side, but I could give it a shot I guess. My husband is always following me around and trying to force me to eat vegetables...

I know exercise helps - I used to walk 3 miles a day, but then got more obsessed with my career and just stopped. Most days it feels like an obsession and I know that isn't a good thing. Being balanced is more important....but, but...I just want to paint!
And when life gets more complicated I need to paint more. Right now my husband changed jobs and will be out of town for 2 months while I pack up the house to move yet again after school is done. We are looking at houses to buy...and we are having to do that over the phone and internet. The kids miss him terribly and he has only been gone a few days....whine, whine, whine. And just as I seem to be getting a nice client base where I am, we move.
This could all be settled if I could just find a wife. I think everyone needs a wife - even the women. You know - the old fashioned wives that stay home and just clean, cook and do everything....
