Yeah always remember that the whole of you i awesome. I believe bmw gave you some wonderful suggestions to try and stay in the moment. Ild try and make a contract with the internals that if it is one of the internals sucking the thumb for self soothing that it is necessary to try and apear normal otherwise they risk being ridiculed. Keep up the good work though yas hve come a long ay since I first saw you in this group.

One of my littles tends to come out around bedtime when I get sleepy. I think because at that time of day we are almost always alone and it's safe. She likes to do some of the housework, too, and she is very glad now that she gets help doing it from others. When we lived at mother's house, we had to do almost all of the housework. Including mowing a big lawn, chopping and stacking fire wood, and vacuuming and cleaning the floors and washing the dishes. Whew!! That makes me tired just thinking about it.

OH, ooopsss, I was going to suggest using some nice smelling, horrible tasting lotion on your hands at work, and then having something else to do instead, like others suggested. I've caught myself doing stuff like that when I worked, too. You can only explain so much ina diplomatic way!!
