thanks, lwb. hope tuesday is okay. and yeah, they are in the same class. a friend of theirs is in it, too, so hopefully that familiarity will help. its the same school as S5 went, so again, something familiar. but still scary for him. as for my therapist, she is wonderful, lwb. seriously, if she wasn't my therapist I'd love her as a friend.

just talked to H. he isn't getting the kids tomorrow, instead is going to corporate (old job) to deal with job stuff...not sure what the plan is, if he's going to try to plead his case to someone there to try to convince old boss, or if he's going to try for a different position with the company or what. I didn't ask, but wished him luck (sincerely). I do want him to be happy, no matter what happens with us. at least job wise. lol. okay, okay, I do want him to be happy overall (just not too happy, if he ends up with ow, lol).

then he asked if I minded if when he brought the kids back on sunday if he could stay and watch the pats game with them. which I agreed to...hey, beats him asking to take them to ow's house to do it, right? but at the same time, thinking I'm going shopping or roller blading or something that day so I'm not around. I know it could give him a chance to see 180s to be around me, but football is so not my thing, and watching him watch sports is especially not my thing. he gets really into it, almost scary into it. remember when the sox won the w.s? I had to watch in another room, I was afraid he'd have a heart attack just watching, particularly the yankees playoff series. the kids are pretty young and only last so long with stuff like that...not sure what he is thinking. but hey, I said yes, and I don't regret it. yet. lol.

and that's it, I'm not even going to think about possible other motivations for staying on sunday. going to do what I want to do...which means not being here.

No need to be there for the game. If he asks you to join him (which I suspect he will eventually), tell him you have plans, but you'll try to come in for the end.

I know what you mean about wanting H happy. I can honestly say now that I want H happy, but if he is with another woman, just a teeny bit happy. LOL!!!

Thinking great thoughts for S3 for you.

lol about the idea of him asking me to join him for football. he gets so tunnel visioned with sports I'd be surprised if he even knew I was gone, to tell you the truth.

I need new tennis shoes, so thinking I'm going to head out and get them. and maybe a new pair of boots for the fall. I'm looking for a pair to wear with this cute denim pencil skirt I bought recently. not sure what other shoes would go with it for fall, the espadrilles I currently wear with it won't work season-wise much longer. any thoughts? I've never owned a pair of full length boots. and I need a new fall jacket. so while the kids are otherwise engaged, might be a good time to do some looking around.
