Hi Sara….

Well, I’ve been living life! \:\) LOL Been having fun, taking the kids places; and when I’m on the computer these days I’ve been doing genealogy research. That’s become a new hobby for when I’m bored. It’s been interesting finding new relatives. May sound morbid, but have been visiting cemeteries, going to places where my ancestors are from; have a weekend planned in August to visit relatives at a reunion.

Been hanging out with SO most weekends. We’ve taken the kids camping most every weekend at the travel trailer. If he’s had to work, I’ve gone with him. It’s been nice.

Right now, he’s back in the hospital. Went in last Tuesday with severe abdominal pain again. He’s still there. He has surgery scheduled for July 16th…so I don’t know. They’re going to do some more tests today…but, I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Here’s the biggie - he asked me to move back. And my answer, well, quite frankly - NONE. I never answered him. It took me by surprise and I wasn’t ready to answer. I’ve been thinking about it, and, as stated before by Ellie, OT, myself, and others - there’s going to have to be certain um, “demands” that are going to have to be met first. I’m still thinking about what things would need to be done. And I have no intention of bringing the subject up until he does. If he brings it up again, well, then we can get into the logistics. And those may make him change his mind. LOL As far as I’m concerned, I will not return to “Whackadoo City”… There is no reason for me to go back to the craziness that was taking place while I was living there. And, I’m not about to do anything that’s going to make things more difficult for the kids, either. We have none of the stress, none of the upset that we were living with before and I won’t go back to it. Why? BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE TO. More importantly, I don’t want to.

As far as I know, OW is out of the picture. And has been since mid May.

So that’s where things are at. One thing at a time. I plan on enjoying the summer with the kids. With or without SO.
