Thanks guys. I think this is ok happening the way it did because I can at least get the faucet done in a timely manner. I have been keeping the girls resting and hydrated. Just don't have the water on yet so maybe not the best thing as far as bathroom breaks. Oh well you do what you need to.

I was hoping to put off the plumbing a bit longer but you know when it "speaks" we tend to listen. Trying to get things fixed and erase ex's ghost has been a high priority so this is right in line with that. Now that I don't have to spend the weekend messing with it I might try to paint my bathroom instead, or do some work outside if the weather permits!

Hope your girls are feeling better, and the plumbing's back on. (((((kat))))) Sweet dreams! Karen

Who would have thought a half day without water would be so crazy?? Anyway it is so nice to have it back on. The bathroom tub isn't dripping and the faucet in the kitchen is new and not dripping. So it will pay for itself in the long run.

I am puzzled by myself lately. I don't usually put myself out there or say what I need/want in terms of dealing with people. Lately I have just been blurting it out. Soooo not me. I haven't seen the benefit of that either way, I guess it will continue if I start to feel comfortable or I will go back to being quiet.

Sounds like you are getting stronger and stronger to me.

I hope so! I watched a sad movie on Saturday and was crying about the movie and then started crying for other reasons. Sometimes just good to get it out. I was thinking about flirt guy a lot(though that is nothing new there) and I just heard a calm voice telling me to be patient, he wants me too. So maybe I am going a little batty with stress, but I did calm down.

Who knows where this will all end up but it has got to be better than where we started.

For sure! Like Karen said to me, I think in some ways before the devastation of the affair, we were all walking around in some sort of auto pilot. Not true anymore. Those emotions are there and easily come out now. I think it is healthy.

So true. Took each day for granted and sadly now realize those people too to some degree. Even though I felt as if I worked my rear off, maybe I wasn't focusing that work where it needed to be...at home with the people I love.

It is difficult to do now too, but I stress to the kids constantly how much I love them, how proud I am of them and try to do something special on the weekends though we all know I should be cleaning. Hey, all of that "stuff to do" will be there later. This time, this moment with them will be gone in an instant. Grab it while I can.

Your kids will remember the time they spent having fun with you rather than your spotless house. Have fun with those marvelous kids!

Right now we have found a mouse in the house!! The kids are making this into some kind of war. Crazy. Went and got some glue strips and poison packs, just have to really pick them up when the ferrets are running around. Well if it isn't one thing it is another and if it wasn't something, how would I know that I am alive??

Just another adventure.

Kat, that's exactly how I've been feeling. The job and the moving and all, just another new adventure...It's kind of a nice way to live. Have you thought about a kitty??? Karen
