CVA - Thread #3

[chicki]

CVA,

I am only reading this last post. What have you been doing for youself? GALng much lately?

I noticed when I get down and start to thing of the days falling off the calendar sort of thing, I take an inventory of how I have been treating my mental health. Thats when I notice my spiritual being is being depleted.

I w/ you on football!! I love the gail tailing and everything else. I am definately GALng next sunday to the JAGS!! I only hope I dont run into H there!! Plus I will be in the richy rich mans suites!!!

[Not Much Left]

Hey Chicki, what do you mean, you cant go to those suites? I will not allow it! Is it your BF? OK, a little fun at your H's expense!


I think that was the prob this weekend, I didnt really DO anything but hang out w/ W and kids. I was sick so it put a damper on things (3 boys sick too).

W went out w/ D and had fun w/ her and her mom, nice.

If spending money is fun, I did so, I bought some new shirts (again..). But its for the new casual friday look, the new me.

cva, last friday, the W called me a whore since I was too spiffy to go to work but I did so intentionally. This morning, the W was checking out how I was dressed and I caught her but didnt say anything. I got me some new Prada, Nordstrom and Abercrombie shirts.

I wanna hear what she will say when she sees them. Hmmm, tailgaiting.

But I need to see what the Cards are up to lately.

The Cards better be throwing a lot this weekend. I've got Lienart starting for me over Rivers against that Chicago D in fantasy football. God I love football season.

CVA, posted some thoughts, rambling, but some thoughts, over on Nomo's new thread. Some of it was spurred by what you wrote.

Cut yourself some slack for this weekend, but, in general, it seems like you've been trending in this direction for a while. It doesn't sound like "poor CVA" either, but legitimate questioning of how long you're willing to do this. (I don't think you're having a pity party is what I'm trying to say).

Thanks H
Lienert always bugged me for some reason, especially after Vince Young showed him up at the Rose Bowl and he cried like a little girl afterwards!

I hear ya and read your thoughts on Nomo's thread. Thanks again. I am seriously considering buying a house to fix up for me, one way or another. I just can't take a 1 bdrm apt with a TV and a blow up Frontgate bed in it anymore.

My problem is this. I spend pretty much all my time at the house like we are married and sleep at the apt., that is it. The only way to truly get my own life which includes the kids is to take them away from mom for a few days at a time. THinking hard about this. I mentioned buying a house for investment reasons to W (our neighborhood is depressed right now price wise but will bounce back) and mentioned I might go into it with a friend and she balked at me doing it with a friend. Since it is "our money", I said would she support the idea and I think she would be OK with it as I have always made sound financial decisions (maybe more reckless now for some reason). Having rambled here, not sure what I want, it was good to think it out loud on this board though.

Comments welcome.

You need some space of your own. If this is really what your W wants then she'll understand that you can't have the kids in a 1 bedroom apt. Maybe you could rent a house for now and then buy later? Honestly, I don't think you should have to "ask" if you can buy a house. But that's just my opinion, nothing based on DB, so take it fwiw.

Hope you're feeling better now.

CVA,

Well, makes sense to buy a house, unless she wants you to come back. You've been doing the married couple thing (practically) for quite a while, not sure what the answer is, but is it time to do a 180? Bigger place (house or apt) that you can take the kids to for the weekend?

I agree with Mandi, why do you need her permission to buy a house? I know the whole controlling bit, but sounds like more of an investment than antyhing else. Why pour your money into an apt when you could invest in a house.

And honestly, the blow up mattress isn't cool. You must get yourself a real bed.

[Not Much Left]

Thanks H and Mandi
Actually the bed is VERY comnfortable, however, the idea of the thing and the way I am living is starting to chip away at my very inferior brain.

PMA anyone?

Definitely getting a Tempurpedic (sp?) if I get a new one.
Did I mention that W asked me why I wanted new tennis shoes? LOL
