Life feels good

Life feels pretty good right now. Son is with his father until tomorrow; daughter is working; I spent a lovely time walking in the park last night with a gentleman.

My marine (Army guy actually) I call him the Marine. Anyway, he said he is just friends with me. That's fine. He's a good guy. Friends are good to have. I have had several first dates, no second dates but I really like it. Dating seems fun at the moment.

My daughter is a bit dismayed that I am going out on a Saturday night while she is sitting home. It's okay though, her time will come.

Things suck for X right now---living with his parents, out of work, his "fiancee" lives in China. AND his Xwife is dating. YaY me.

I'm trying to sell things out of the garage to help cover the bills he racked up on the house. He won't like it but tuff. One condition of his getting to stay as long as he did was that he paid utilities, etc. He didn't.

Lol, I just had the best chat with a young guy coming to look at stuff I am selling. Exchanged life stories, I gave him marital advice, financial advice, and a Dave Ramsey book. lol too funny. He was a cutie too with a young wife and a baby on the way.


ALSO, it's just great having my own house with my children. I am loving keeping it clean, planting flowers, arranging to get my yard taken care of. I feel adult and independent; I feel strong, optimistic and alive.

Life feels good today.

Good thing about being single: Having my own house--being queen of my castle, such as it is.

Empty Arms

It was a rough weekend. I was feeling pretty blue to begin with--grieving the loss of my little family which has shattered to pieces, leaving just me and my son under one roof. Dunno what precipitated that pity party, but it was going on since Thursday. Friday, Son's father didn't call, text, or come to pick him up. Son was not inclined to make the effort either. I guess he figures that if his father wants him, he'd initiate. Saturday morning was particularly rough because Son had Saturday School---kind of like detention on Saturday, for being tardy to class after PE. Moving fast is not his strong suit ever. Plus, he doesn't wake up and get going easily either. Basically, Saturday was filled with Son's fussing, homework, tears, slamming of doors,and lot's of I-hate-you's. Yeah, pretty miserable all the way around. I think maybe it was a reaction to how he feels about what's happening with his dad. OR not happening. It culminated in Son sobbing in hi

Keystone Cops R US

Okay, we just did a Keystone Cops routine . I went in, puppies ran out. English bulldog from next door chased puppies around the yard. I chased English bulldog who was chasing the puppies around the yard, into my house where I chased them all aroun d again until they all ran back outside. Got puppies back in and English bulldog out. Opened the door to call my son in, and they were off!!!!! Did it all again, but this time, the neighbor lady and her daughter chased the bulldog who was chasing the puppies and I chased her and her daughter who were chasing the puppies, back into my house again. Whew, I'm tired!

X's birthday, X in law birthdays... what should I do

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a question for you all. My X's mother's birthday just passed. His father's birthday is in a week or so and his birthday a bit after. I thought about having the kids call their Oma (grandma) to wish happy birthday but opted not to. I think he should be responsible for that. What do I do about this and/or his upcoming birthday? Do I have the kids do something? He didn't bother for me last year when we were separated..... Ideas anyone?
