XH called last night. The interview went well. He's pretty sure he'll get it unless someone much better came in after him. He has another interview this morning with a different company for the same type of job but maybe more money. I know I should be supportive of him, but it was all I could do to get myself to with him good luck. I don't like being like that, but I guess I'm not over my anger from everything over the past few months.
And get this. He gets home tonight. He told me that if I don't feel like picking him up from the airport and he doesn't end up getting a rental car, he's got someone else willing to pick him up. Yep, you guessed it. FF. I know I should let it get to me and it shouldn't bother me. But damn, he's been gone since Tuesday morning, you'd think he'd want to see his kids instead of her! I know that if she does pick him up, they'll go hang out for a while before he comes home. I told him to do what ever. If he wanted me and the kids to pick him up, I will if not he can do what ever he wants.
It really did bother me last night though. I tried really hard to not let it, but it did. I was way over tired and that didn't help either. I feel very moody right now. Grrrr! I'll live. I want to enjoy my last day of being 29!
Then HOpe, you just continue being 29, forget about H!! Go on with your day as if he is not coming home...if he calls last minute to have you pick him up, tell him you already made plans..that should get him!! OOps, sorry, am I being to mean??
happy birthday I hope you have a great birthday day & weekend!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Even with XH acting like an ass, this was one of the best birthday’s I’ve had in a long time.
Thursday night was dinner with my parents, sister and my girls.
Friday night me, the girls, my parents, my sister and my best friend went to see the new Harry Potter movie.
Saturday morning XH picked a fight and I took D11 and left. Hung out with my parents and sister and D11 for the afternoon then met up with another friend for a while. That night was my party. I had so much fun. Warning: If you are on AD’s be very careful with alcohol. I didn’t realize it would affect me the way it did and I got very drunk very quick. Still had a great time though!
Sunday D11 and I cooked for our Thanksgiving dinner. Made two casseroles and two pies. We had a lot of fun doing it. That night was the dinner and the first time I’d seen XH since Saturday morning. He was still acting like an ass.
Now it’s Monday and I’m back at work. XH got the job in California and he and D9 leave November 30th. He’s completely alienated D9 from me. Suddenly now he says she can’t stand to be left alone with me (yet Friday night when he went out and stayed out all night it was okay). He’s also trying to turn all “our” friends against me. It’s not working. They are about as sick of his crap as I am.
I’m doing very well with letting go of all this. I honestly can’t stand to be near him right now. All he does is start arguments and I’m so tired of fighting. Ten more days and he’ll be gone. Right now I’m okay with it. I’m sure it’s going to be hard once it happens. Part of me will always love him and part of me will miss him, but the other part of me will be happy to not have to live like this anymore. So here’s to the future and what ever it may hold!
I am glad you had a good birthday even though your XH was acting like an ass.

I found this out the hard way. I had forgotten to take my pill and took it about an hour before I started drinking (only drank 2 smirnoff ices) and it hit me hard. I felt like I had been drinking for hours.
I know you and D11 will have a good life. I hope you can put all the pain behind you and live for the future. Sounds like you have your head screwed on right and know what you want now. I pray for you.
Hope - I'm so glad you had a good birthday weekend! Good for you! I'm proud of you, especially that you are currently letting this go so well. It's good that you know that it will probably be a bit harder in 10 days. Hang in there! Keep your chin up
