Thank you for all the great posts. I have been so busy and although I do lurk I have not had much time to post.
School is great although I am probably one of the oldest in my classes. I have mostly 1st and 2nd year courses right now. I am a worry wart because I really need to do well. I have written some midterms and handed in some papers but nothing back yet. I think I did okay so I am trying to not fret. I am keeping up with my studies though.
My d5 is having some issues. She is doing some things for attention especially when I am away at school. But all I can do is be firm about the bad stuff and try to spend a lot of time with her. Of course I will blame this on h. LOL. It is always his fault.
Speaking of h I did have some issues with him over money. But it did get resolved. He is in pursuer mode but I will have none of it. I went to a C to help me deal with the guilt of not wanting h back. I am still working through some things but I think for the most part I am on my way to full recovery.
H's mom is not doing well. She has a bad heart and it has been getting worse since his father died. I feel for her but I cannot be there for my h like he wants me to be. I will pray for mother in law and send her a card. I will be there for my ds but my h has some one else to comfort him so I do not let him engage me. He is also having some other family problems I found out through some one else but has not tried to confide in me. I can no longer resuce h.
My new house is getting painted this week. We had to work on last weekend. The previous owners had the whole thing all barred and security. They were quite worried about their possesions but not about escaping fire. Anyway. we removed all the bars and cleaned.
We had thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. It was very good.
Oh my au pair is awesome. She felt like she was family right away. My dad even calls he his grand daughter.
My relatives have gone back to Europe only just over a week. I loved having them but now I have more time to do everything else.
