Jenny, I am sorry but I had to laugh at your rule of no dating while breastfeeding. You might want to rethink it...I'm sure a date would be impressed if you said "Excuse me, I need to pump now." The thought of dating has crossed my mind too, but I have decided I won't do that until D papers are signed. I don't plan on signing any so my goal right now is to date my H. I still have hope for your H. I am so happy he was put out by the fact that he had to go out into the snow. You are not being selfish by not letting him keep you S overnight. It is what is best for your S and don't let H let you think differently.
Hey Jenny, sorry I haven't been keeping up with your sitch. But, I just read through the last 4 days. Great job with the baking AND the standing up for yourself in regards to your S. Too bad if H didn't like the fact that he had to bring him home. What did he think?... That he would get to have everything his way because you are so despondent that you would do whatever he asks? I think it empowered you and it's wonderful that you didn't feel like you did it to hurt him. Good job. As for the love letter over a year ago....this is exactly why we need to keep reminding ourselves that even though things look bleek, they can change in a heartbeat. I try to remember this when I get sad about H feelings for OW and his lack of feelings for me. He can easily change his feelings for OW and start loving YOU again. Just remind yourself to plan for surprises.
Hang in there.

How are those last 100 coming along? I still am in such awe of your talent. I hope there is some way you can establish your business so that it's full time and you don't have to go back to work when your mat leave is up.
I am completely with you with regards to your S being away overnight. I would have said no too. He is only 4 months and it seems irrational to think he should be away from his mommy for that long.. and the fact that you're nursing just cements it eve more!
I'm up for a latte whenever you are.. Let me know.

PS.. Is the snow done yet? I'm really worried that my arms are going to start looking like Hulk Hogan with all of this shoveling.. making it difficult for me to look sexy and alluring with my 36 inch pythons!! (was that the size of his arms, I can't remember)
It's offical, this weekend I baked 300 cookies!! I can't say the kitchen is clean...but man did I bake. And I had a lot of fun doing it. It was good to have some quiet time to myself and just find my groove. I think I may be starting to feel human again!
So now I get to spend my evenings over the next 2 weeks decorating and that is the fun part.
blindsided,

I hadn't thought of it this way. Thank you so much for changing my perspective on this! Look at you go! Now go back and reread what you wrote to me and pretend you're saying it to yourself. I do it all the time...it amazes how much I need to hear these things, even from myself!
WTG...if we get any more snow...I'm moving. I've got 7' snow banks, it's nuts. I can't believe I remember this, but I think it's 24" pythons. 36" would be a notso small guys waist! And I agree, the shovelling is good for the butt and the arms! This week is nuts for me, but I'll e-mail you and maybe we can get together next week.
Well...Cookie Chick is tired. I'm hanging up my apron and calling it a night! J~

I am exhausted!! D was sick yesterday, had to pick her up at lunch time with a fever. Poor thing. Anyway, so I was supposed to get a lot done yesterday, but ended up being sequestered with her. She was feeling fine when she got up this morning though, thank goodness the fever was gone. Had my mom over for dinner tonight for her b-day, it was fun but I can't believe how tired I am.
H is picking up S tomorrow and has D overnight tomorrow night. He's usually here to p/u S around 4:45, but he e-mailed me today to ask if I was going to be here around 3ish. I said yes, but asked if he was picking up S early? He said he has a few things he wants to chat with me about. I'm sure it's about finances because he's due to give me checks for next month and we have some serious balancing to do. Could also be about the financial statements that my L have requested from his L. Or could be another whole bomb altogether...he loves to throw them at me every couple weeks. OOORRRR...he's going to tell me what an A$$ he is and how he really DOES love me and he really wants to come to home to his family!!! LOL! Hey, one can dream!!
OH...and here is the best part of my week....I'm going shopping tomorrow night for new jeans!! Yep...all my other jeans are too big and I get to buy some that will fit.
MAMA NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF JEANS! nighty night. J~

I am so jealous that you get to buy new jeans. I am looking at my wordrobe of either stretchy maternity ugly clothes or my pre preggo jeans that won't fit until I lose about 20 lbs. after baby. Where are my in between clothes!!!! I have nothing to wear as of next week.
I always get that sinking feeling when they say they want to 'talk'. It could be nothing big, so try not to stress. If it is you are such a strong woman you will take it in stride.
How are the cookies coming? What a great and independent thing to do....Yeah for you!
Me: 46 FWS: 36 Married and Divorced 4/07, Pregnant 7/07,False R 7/07 Baby Girl born 3/08 Kicked him out because OW: 7/08 5/10 He realized what he had and lost. Moved home! REMARRIED 3/14/11!!
I forgot to tell you, this am Martha Stewart was on the today show, showing how to make cookies.
I had to laugh, that we here have our own Martha, its our very own cookie chick!! LOL
She made it look so easy, but i then reaized she has it easy, she has assistants to do all the work, she just decorated one cookie. Unlike you who does it all!!
Yea for Jenny

Yes, let us know how your little "talk" goes. I'm sure it will be fine. Just hang in there.
