Dam straight!

And you do have more: Willingness to take a long hard look at yourself and change, to be open to and respectful of another's POV, you're a skilled professional, you're empathetic and you are one funny meowing hamster!

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

Can you guess what the suprise was? You are right........eggplant!


Talk to u soon!




that made me laugh!


Banana bread - I'm running to a meeting in a minute so need to be quick.....I'm sorry you has such a weekend. It was the same exact weekend for me too....but I hate knowing YOU feel that way. It's harder when someone you know and care about goes thru it...accept your emotion as best you can and keep walking....you are everything you are saying about yourself.....strong, smart, full of life, loving, beautiful, Mom......keep that in mind always!!!!!!!

It's good to get this out, god do I know how you feel! I think your sitch proves to the world that when a S cheats or your H did or my W did, its not about you and your qualities as a woman...its the H's own issues and the OW really has nothing to do with YOU as a comparison.


i was sad this evening. thinking about the dissolution of my M. hurting for my kids.. feeling sorry for myself. and then i had to remind myself.. the outcome has not yet been determined. it is in God's hands and i just have to continue on this journey.

That's the same advice you gave me for my sad weekend. I'm glad you can give yourself the same advice. And you are right. Mach told me today to just keep getting up and dusting off. That's what we do. Then God sees our efforts and intervenes in ways we often can't see.

i still have a few aces up my sleeve.. i am still the mother of his 2 beautiful children.. i am loving, kind, and just an all around awesome person (ok.. trying to give myself a pep talk).. i'm also beautiful (might as well add that.. i'm on a roll).. ummmm.. hmmmm.. i got nothing else. wink

Ha ha, so true

this is by far the hardest.. most painful walk i've ever had to make. i am just so thankful for the support, insight, and love i receive here. it has been my lifeline through some of my darkest hours. ack! now i have the LOTR soundtrack playing in my head!!


Yeah so painful but you're strong enough, and strong enough to admit when you need help. LOTR...the dark riders are all around us this weekend.

furry.. soft.. delicious.. lol

so.. weird night. first off, i will confess that i played hookey from work last night. i didn't bother telling my mom or H. after the emotional weekend, i just wanted some me time.. in my own home.. to putter around and reevaluate things. so.. i had H drop off the kids at my mom's yesterday afternoon where they spent they spent the night.

on mondays.. H doesn't leave until he has to go to work at about 2200. i had to kill time until then so i headed over to my gf's. while i was there, H sends me a pic of a pair of socks asking if i knew who they belong to. i said i assumed they were his (they look like men's wooly hiking socks). H answers no.. he found them 2 weeks ago and now they were in his drawers.. asked if maybe they were my mom's. i replied.. no.. my mom has very girly socks. i said i washed them and assumed they were his. then H said.. he found them in the bed 2 weeks ago. at this point i'm laughing because it's really just kind of funny.. i show my gf the pic and she says.. "yup. those are my socks!" i had put her and her kids in my room when they had stayed over. i didn't share this info w/ H. i didn't pursue this conversation further. lol!

more awkwardness. i head home and get there about 2230. head into parking garage and H's car still there. so i double back and park outside. my mind is racing at this point. thinking to myself.. if there's anyone there, heads are going to roll. i roll in and H gets up from the couch.. looks at the time and realizes he is late for work. calls work to tell them he'll be late and then scrambles to leave. tells me he's taken out the garbage.. asks what time i'm working.. i deflect.

when he's gone, i notice that he has vacuumed our entire place. top to bottom and has tidied up quite a bit. i am impressed! so i send him a txt just to say thank you for taking out trash and vacuuming because i really appreciate it (which was sincere). he replies no worries and then follows it by asking where i was heading out to. i told him no where. make up excuse that i swapped shifts w/ a girl from work because she really wanted my night and i was working in the morning. H then says he didn't see the car in the garage. so i txt back that i've moved it inside now. blah blah.. i end conversation by saying.. i'm glad you made it to work ok and H just says thank you.

i think this has got to be one of the more awkward interactions w/ H in a looooooong time. i'm just going to return the socks and not mention it again.

I think I might have to sporadically place socks in the bed for him to find, if he asks again just blame it on the rabbit:-)
