Belated greetings Cinders. I am glad you had a nice day.
With regard to rabbit housing? Did you have a particular rabbit in mine or just any old rabbit in need.
You do know they tend to have large families-ha. So you could be testing your carpentry skills for quite some time.

Well, I managed to assemble the entire flatpack kit ! YES !

The cage is huge, wooden and has 2 floors ! Our rabbit, which we allready had (he was bought by H and ow to introduce ow to the kids, but H and ow had the poor thing living in a hamstercage ! So being the kind soul that I am.... ;\) hahaha, I adopted him)

Today was the very first day that I went away at around the time school finished. H has fallen into the habbit of popping round every Thursday after he picks the kids up from school. Today, well, no yesteray, I started my seriously letting GO proces, so I wasn't home. He called me and left me a VM, saying the kids had wanted to give me a kiss, then he told the kids to blow me kisses through the phone.

Tomorrow morning I have to meet D7 at school as she is turning 8, I'm usually very stipt and have to wait till H gets there with all the cupcakes and so on, but tomorrow I will go to school a bit later (after the bell has rung) and I will take the cake and candy to D7's classroom and give her a kiss then. That way, I will not have to see H. I think this is doing me more good, than I thought possible.

Later tomorrow I have to see him as we are having dinner with D7 (D8 by then ;\) ) at a restaurant. But I will be detached and friendly.

Thanks guys, just so you know, I'm doing ok ! xxx

Back from having done my best at the tennis lesson !

Feels good to move around !

Did I mention that I have changed my 'diet' ? I'v cut out most of the sugars and am eating less and much more healthy. I haven't lost more than 5 pounds, but it's going slow and steady !

I feel rejuvinated actually, sugar is truly not good for your body and mind ! (well, TOO MUCH of it isn't)

I'm off to bed, as I'm expected at school with the cupcakes tomorrow morning ! Take care xxx

Today my D7 turns D8 !!!! I took her cupcakes to school, I was late and they had been trying to call me on my cell...

D8 was SOOOO happy ! I took her in to the school and left H on the street. But I did congratulate him kindly before doing so.

Then a little later, when I got into my car, I saw that H had driven over to my car and was waiting to give me something.

Well, he had a present for me, for my birthday still... He gave me voucher, for 2, to go and spend on a weekend away at a 'charming hotel' (it's a list of 40 hotels in city's around here, that are charming !)
A friend of mine said...'are you supposed to go with him ???? I said, 'I truly don't think so !! ' ;\)

Well, I guess I'll be going away one of these weekends to enjoy myself ! \:\) \:\) \:\)

Nothing much going on.

We ended up going out to dinner just the five of us, H, myself and our 3 kids as my BIL had a minor car crash, and didn't want to continue his drive down to us. It was a lovely dinner. The food was yummy and we even ended up having a good evening. People around us could not have seen that just after we left, my H would drive to his ow and go away for the weekend with the kids. It seems sureal.

I told him to please drive carefully as the roads were slippery from the cold. To my amazement he sent me a TM very very late, saying they had arrived safely. I decided not to reply.

So, I've had a good night's sleep, it's 10am !!! I did wake up with a sore throat, we've been having an influenza epidemic around here so I am a bit weary...

Time to get up, go have some breakfast, and enjoy this sunny day !

Love to you all !

Cinders,
I'm very happy to see that your h had a very nice gift for you. I'd go and enjoy myself. You owe it to yourself.

Happy belated birthday to the little one. Your children are growing up so fast! Enjoy them and their activities for as long as you can because once they've passed the border of childhood, it can never be lived again.

Enjoy your day!


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

Cinders,
You really sound wonderful!!!

Glad you had such a great time celebrating birthdays.
It is really a great thing that you are being such a great parent and allowing the kids to be able to have 2 loving parents with them to celebrate special occasions.

I truly wish that when my Parents divorced, they could have been as mature as you are being, by putting the children first.

Have a truly blessed weekend.

(((((((((hugs)))))))))


There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
