Thank you Gerda for your post. The waiting is the best thing for me right now, to help me deal with my own issues. It just happens to be the only chance our marriage has also.
So glad that you were able to get through the birthday without commenting. It does get easier with time. Sounds as if you are getting some quality time with your son, which is certainly a good thing. Glad you are able to keep your focus on you and your kids, that si where it belongs.

Thanks Kat and T^2, I am back down to my pre-holiday weight. That is encouraging. I also have my first physical therapy on Monday for my shoulder, so that is also good.
My $$ and my job are my main source of stress right now. (As long as you don't count those dang ever present Cialis commercials, jeesh). My boss is sending out a less effective marketing mailer than what he had told me about a few months ago. My inclination is to wait it out and see what add'l work comes from the marketing mailer.
But yesterday I still sent out a resume for a job I really would like. On the GAL, I'm getting out and regularly seeing friends. But I just want more $$ to take the stress off of day-to-day living.
Hi G'ma Kat, I work in the office of financial planners. The head financial planner calls all of the shots in the office, and so acts like my boss. Though technically, I am an independent attorney.
Anyone have this happen to them? For a week now I have had sexual dreams of my WAW?! This is crazy b/c we have been separated for over a year and a half. I don't look at her pics, I don't talk to her, I don't think about her (besides an occasional prayer for her). But that's it. And the dreams are not of stuff we've done, it's completely new scenarios.
I have been invited to Las Vegas in February. A long time friend is getting married for the first time (he is a couple of years older than me.) And a mutual friend who is organizing the trip promises that this will be wilder than Hangover parts 1 thru 3. Hmmm...
So I took d20 and her boyfriend out for lunch today. He is a Packers fan, and after a bit of ribbing about how Seattle will win on Sunday, the convo was light. I decided to bring up my upcoming Las Vegas trip. D20 has the tenacity of a lawyer, and kept asking me who I was going with, was I going with a woman, etc. I decided to play it close to the vest, and provide little details. But she didn't like it, dad/me doesn't just do something like this - she accused me of having a mid-life crisis?! Funny, I'd like to be the guy that does trips like this on short notice, so my children aren't so surprised when it happens!
I went to pick up s13 tonight, but he was asleep on W's bed. He is a realllly deep sleeper. So as we shared some small talk, I was standing next to W in her bedroom looking at son sleeping, and I placed my hand on her back. It was not a good response - W sprinted away from me and went to the other side of the bed and tried persuading s13 to wake up.
I tried to quickly recover and as W was tickling son to wake him up and failed. I came over and said we should double-team him with tickling. It was kinda funny, but W then quickly left and told me to handle it from here.
S13 never woke up. W seemed to anticipate that I would get mad, but I stayed calm. W commented that I came so far to pick son up (15 minutes away) and I told her it was not a big deal. I simply asked that she drop him off at my place when it was convenient tomorrow. W told me that tomorrow was so busy, mentioning she was preparing a business plan. But then said she would try.
I was curious what her business plan might involve - now that her two businesses the cat breeding and her photography business have folded, what she might be doing. But I stayed away from asking any questions. It just didn't seem like the right time, as W was busy cleaning up the place.
