I'm really enjoying my house. Cleaning it and having it clean, getting things fixed up make me feel like things are improving in my life. If I let the time share go, I will be able to keep my house and have repairs, renovations done one thing at a time. That would be awesome.

    Think I followed Badass over....whew, do your posts bring back memories, good and bad. But I wanted to comment on the one about the house (I haven't read too far back). When my 1st husband walked out on me after 9 years of marriage and the first year in our house I was determined to keep my house. I didn't have kids (I did go out and get a dog about a weeks after he left---good trade) so I was only keeping the house for myself but it gave me a great sense of accomplishment. I ran out of money before I ran out of month regularly but I hung in and on. I think you're going to do the same. Plus it sounds like you've got two great kids who need you. As for house renovations, I learned to do a lot of things after he left. There were jobs that I had been asking him to do for months, he never did and I did them after he left. Again, huge sense of accomplishment. Hand in there!

I will no longer search for signs of your love as a private investigator searches for clues. I will no longer dissect every conversation looking for hidden meaning. I will no longer brush carefully at a pile of dusty bones seeking proof that your love existed. Now, I dance down life's beaches glorying in the sun and surf welcoming the wind in my hair now and again stooping to scoop seashells up from the love-strewn shore. Now, I find love in the open. jayksee May 2010

North Carolina, mrawr

First of all, let me say that I think I love North Carolina and want to move there. The men are hawt, they have smexy accents, and funny idioms... plus the name places are cool (i.e. Lizard Lick, Kill Devil Falls--what's not to love??)mmm plus I think the grow 'em bigger there! :) I have to go back to work next week, which makes me really ANTSY right now. I'm all tense, uptight and wanna do somethin crazy. Meanwhile, I have a date tonite-- a second date. This guy is definitely a diamond in the rough, not in a good way but he is sweet and good company. I'm suffering withdrawals from NAVY too coz he finally got himself a new manly macho truck. He's so happy about it too, that I can't begrudge him the thrills. However, I do miss him lotz since I have been driving him back and forth to work for weeks now. I'm afraid he won't even miss me :(( sigh.

Getting away from life

Did I tell you Ex is leaving for China / Indonesia to meet his gf for the first time and then see his family--possibly get a job there. He is going to leave me with a shambles of a house to clean up, his children to take care of, and his credit card bill collectors to tell that he doesn't live there anymore. I think I will change the phone number. I am not sure how I feel about all this. Maybe a bit scared of taking on the financial burdens with little hope of child support and no alimony. Going back into the same old house isnt my idea of fun either. Yet, I know that I can clean it up, repaint. I can do it. The lawn in the back has reached mid calf already. Probably he will leave that for me also---just as well. Last year it took him all summer to get the lawn finished through ONE time. It's not a big lawn.... I dunno, maybe he has the right idea-- new place, new start. If I had the money, I'd give him some just to hurry him along even if it means he is leaving my...
