Caffeine is YOUR vice. Um, I have 2 Diet Cokes before I leave the house. SOOOO bad.

Hope, yes, yes, yes! Are you at work this week?

[lovelyolive]

I'll admit it, too.. I'm an addict..

By the way, lwb, I feel sooo immature compared to you and the way you are handling things.

Are you at work this week?

Yes, I have a meeting on Friday, but I possibly could do lunch Thursday if that would work for you?

LO- Can I give you a virtual boot in the behind for that comment? I take NOTHING away from lwb by saying this, but you're in a bit of a different situation. Your H is living with OW. For goodness sake, the OW has cut your child's hair. Don't ever, ever feel immature for the way you've handled things. I think you've done a wonderful job considering the circumstances.


Hi lwb- just wanted to stop & say hi. H just walked in. Don't want him lurking. I'll post later.

Another beautiful summer day. Must get in a run, the 5K race is next Saturday. Eek! Running with my roommate from college, her H left her this spring (they are almost divorced!) for his old girlfriend. She is moving back to StL in a week or two, I am selfishly excited to have her in the same town.

H still has NO clue I am running this race. He will be working that day, so no surprise visits from him, even if he knew. This race is for me. If he asks, I will tell him of course. But he won't ask.

D6 is off to summer camp/school. D3 is enjoying her bed a bit longer.

Good morning lwb-

It's a beautiful sunny morning here in MN too. Although I thought I heard them talking about rain later.

How fun to do that run with your friend. I'm sorry for your friends circumstances, but happy to hear that you'll have someone else in your area that you're close to. Your not selfish. I was thrilled when I found out that one of my friends wasn't far away. We haven't had a lot of time together, but just being close again is comforting.

Have a great day!

Not good. Not good.

H is probably going to get fired. He was late for work this morning and freaked out. Apparently this is the fourth time he has been late in three weeks. Was written up and threatened with termination last time. He is a mess. Is this rock bottom? He was walking around the house "I can't take this." "I am going to break"...I told him I was sorry it happened, that his hours are hard, but then I left him alone. No fixing here. He is waiting to hear their decision.

This will not be good. Not for me, and especially not for H. He has been with them for almost a year (great job, benefits, retirement). He won't be able to buy a house if he loses this job, even if he gets another one. Even detached, its hard to watch him suffer. But its different, because I feel bad for him, but I am not emotionally involved with it.

[SueS]

Gosh lwb, I'm really sorry to hear that. Sounds like he's a mess. I understand the part about this not being good for you either. This DUI my H got could put a crimp in things for me too. Despite how I feel about your H at times, I really hope that things work out well.

I'll be thinking about you.

Same goes for me. I hope his superiors can look beyond the multiple late arrivals one more time. If he's been a good employee in other aspects, I'm sure they can try to understand why he's been late so often lately. We all go through difficult times in our lives and I would say things couldn't be more stressful than right now. I'm sending my compassionate vibes to your husband's employer as I type.

I understand the simultaneous detachment and empathy. It is hard to see someone you care about suffer at their own hands like that. Just makes you want to shake them til they come to their senses. But in the end, they won't accept anything from us and we are powerless to help. Just letting him know that you are there will be a big thing, though (for you).
