BTW you and your ants reminded me of this past weekend......
D and I were having a lovely err umm "set to" Sunday night in which she told me she hated me. Nice but she's 7 and I'm sure she'll hate me many more times in her life.....
So later I was talking to her and asked her why she said that. She said she was sorry but that she'd been called names "all weekend" (come on now - this should be a drama free zone but it's not )
I had told her right before "I hate you" that I was glad she was spending this short time we had together acting like a brat (she'd been with her daddy all weekend)...
So then I asked about the name calling allllllll weekend (insert drama queen voice)
(I swear I have a point - I'm almost there )
She says "daddy said I walk like an ant!"
An ant. He doesn't even know what she's talking about but it reminded me of you.
Then we were doing the "I'm sorry - what for" thing and I followed up with "and you're not...." expecting "going to act like that again" but she said
"...........an ant!"
We both had a good laugh!

Nice song, Figgy! I like this one from Princess Bride by Mark Knopfler:
Storybook Love Come my love I'll tell you a tale Of a boy and girl and their love story And how he loved her oh so much And all the charms she did possess Now this did happen once upon a time When things were not so complex How he worshipped the ground she walked And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed.
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel It's as real as the feelings I feel
This love was stronger than the powers so dark A prince could have within his keeping His spells to weave and steal a heart Within her breast but only sleeping
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel It's as real as the feelings I feel
He said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?" She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves Always have a happy ending?" Then he swooped her up just like in the books And on his stallion they rode away
My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel My love is like a storybook story But it's as real as the feelings I feel
"I made the wall of shadow draw back, beyond desire and act, I walked on.
Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost, I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you."
Things are going pretty well here. W still has not filed. Unsure if she is serious about it or not. The kids still do not know and I said they have to know before she files. We just take things one day at a time.
You and Lis have lots of fun!!! You two deserve it!
I am so happy to reconnect with you and others on the board. I have been gone for what seems like months.

In limbo. She wanted the kids to find out at the therapist office but I know it is because she is afraid to confront them just them, her and me. She is hoping they wont say anything if someone else is there. I told the therapist that and she said she will not be used for that. Also, the therapist said the kids should not be forced to come back to therapy. They discussed nothing relevant for the entire hour except "Transformers" and "Live Free or Die Hard".
A friend said that the reason is probably the kids do not feel like they have a problem but that there mom is the one with the problem.
I told the kids I wont force them to go back but they can always go whenever they want.
Sorry I havent been around. I am back and will stay close
