When the day comes that they recognize my "about to blow" point before I explode, it'll be a happy one. Right now, they don't notice that I'm there, even if I say outright that I'm about to lose it. Poor guys...they must think I'm just attacking out of left field. :) Can you tell we took last week off of school pretty much? We'll see if the calm holds starting tomorrow when the books come back out. @Joe - one of the skills I’d like my boys to have before they move out is the ability to read a female’s body language correctly.

I've had glimpses of myself, too, that don't make me proud. I think you handled the reconciliation really well. Ahh, that limit! That point we reach where one more question, demand, or other slip can send us over the edge. It's only human, I suppose, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier to walk that edge. Superb post!
