Ya know?

It gets tiring sometimes feeling that nothing will get done and done right unless I do it myself. What *did* he do all day? We have to work on that accountability thing.

Picked up the beast last night from Horsham. I was excused from my after school leadership meeting, hauled butt to get home to pick up the boys (hr) and then hit the turnpike to get over to pick him up (hr) and scoot back home (another hr) to get the boys to their rehearsal. He has an anxiety attack in the car that he says was a matter of being overwhelmed thatt he boys were sharing so much so fast with him. They hadn't seen him in over a week and were just bubbling with news. Whatever. All I saw was the clenched jaw and the tight fists and him not responding when I tried touching him. He refused to come in to McD's with us and did not want food. Fine.

Seemed somewhat better by morning although he had been awake much of the night. Said he wanted me to call him. I call. No answer. I called many more times. No answer. He calls me later in the afternoon. Says he wanted to hear my voice. He's afraid to leave the house, afraid to stay in the house and feels like he's back to where he was before all this fun started at the end of August. WTF!!! Oh, and now he's sick with a cold. Go figure.

So I had enrolled us in a business education course with the local university, the Main St manager and the county economic development commission. I had hoped he would have *some* sort of interest but it seems I was wrong. I should know better than to try and feed him any of my dreams because, as he states, he has no dreams. Starting a business is so far beyond him right now that I really, truly, should have known better.

The class was fairly invigorating. My past business ideas have failed partly because I let them and partly because I had no one to support and share them with that really took an interest. Well, these folks have taken an interest. They knew who I was walking in the door and there were a few times during the night that he mentioned my idea as a perfect fit for the area. And we all know it's all about location, location, location. From now till the end of December, I have a captive audience of folks helping me to get Pet Needs and Kneads off the ground. Check out www.pnkpets.com The site is super lame right now and needs some serious help. I have a ton of homework. The guy was intent on "instinct" being a great measure of an entrepreneur and of business. Well, my instinct tells me this is *it* finally.
