How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?
These are the typical Monday-morning starter questions. Everyone is looking for a similar answer - something interesting so that they can live their lives through someone else. Or at least that's my impression.
I am not sure how to answer these questions right now.
There is the honest route: I emptied urine-filled bottles, provided a sponge bath, washed the dishes, took my husband to Sears as a fieldtrip, took my car for a brake inspection and watched a LOT of football on t.v.
There is the short summary route: Nothing interesting. Just relaxed. (LIE!)
There is the I'll-tell-you-what-you-want-to-hear route: We went wall climbing, ate at a new restaurant and repainted the house.
So, how do I answer these question? I go with the avoidance route (for the most part):
Fabulous. How was yours?
This gives them the option of telling me about their exciting weeked, so that I can live through them.
So... how was your weekend?

Oh Renee! It's going to get better. Easy for me to say I know, but hang in there. I spoke with Tom last night for a few minutes. Told him maybe we could bring dinner one night and hang out, try to break up the routine a bit, let me know what you think.
That was nice. Thank you. I was just venting. Things are actually fine.
I feel the same way...well not the urine part, but you know what I mean.
