Hi I am back! I first want to say that you are doing such a great job handling your D with such grace. You also deserve a good cry and then a good laugh and of course a morbid fantasy if not just a fleeting thought. Remember when Heath ledger died? The first thing I thought of was my H and how much he has changed during his MLC and I thought he would end up destructive like Heath Ledger, well your ex is acting destructive also. Unfortunately, my H almost died in an accident and now he is in a wheelchair for some time. It is weird but people have mentioned his Bad Karma and maybe he was in the wrong place at the wrong time because he lost it? I dunno. It is morbid but natural to think that. No one really wants that but sometimes I wish he would just move across the country to stay with his folks. My dad left the state when my parents divorced and it was way better than beig shuttled back and forth. I also feel you on coming home at 2AM because we had to do that two nights per week because of work and school too. Whew. I feel weird looking into my future because you are exactly where I will probably be in about 10-12 months!! I hope I have your fortiude!!!!

mk, girl!!!!! I saw a random post from you awhile back about your H and his accident!!! Wow. What a tough situation, quite a change up from both of you leading independent lives! How are the kids handling his situation and the fact that he is at your home with you now. Don't commend me, girl, you are amazing to take care of him (I would do the same, by the way)
Thank you so much for checking in, I hope you keep posting on yours AND on mine!!
GF, yup, we've got some long-lost-separatedatbirth guys here, huh? Its amazing, reading your posts. The only difference is your H walks away, then turns around and wants you back. Never dealt with that.
Just forked out the big bucks to see HSM3 in the morning with a friend and her kids. The girls are excited. Then a Halloween party on xH's side (he will be working). All in all, I am filling in the gaps as best I can.
Took the girls for their flu shots today. Walked out after having the flu mist!!! They were thrilled. We stop at a wishing fountain outside the office beforehand, and D6 said on the way out "Mom, I wished I wouldn't get a shot and it came true!"
Thanks for caring!
PS: The winnings are all gone!! lol Some to fun stuff (D6's new bike, shopping) and some to bills.
Hey friend, hope you are doing well. It sounds like each day is getting just a smidgen better for you. Thinking of you.

Too cute! What's her secret to making these wishes come true?! Do you have to flip the coin just so? Ask her for some tips please! I sure could use them!
Hope you all had a great time at the Halloween party! Did you dress up?

GF! Hee!! Every time, every single time, I wish for "happy and healthy kids". Hopefully I flip the coin just so too...
What a nice day I had with the ladies! Everything regarding HSM3 just fell into place. Comfy theatre, great seats (D6 always worries she won't be able to see), great everything. We spent the rest of the day wandering the mall, making little purchases here and there. It was a day of 'yes', a day of 'sure', when the girls requested something. I loved it.
Off to the Halloween party on xH's side. xH showed up, which was fine, the girls were thrilled to see him. Here's the deal though, I don't feel uncomfortable, however, I think xH does with me there. He encourages it, says he is fine with it. But I feel like he can't fully enjoy himself because he is tip toeing around me (letting me choose who I talk with, where I sit, etc). Make sense? I don't want him to lose contact with his own family, but the girls wouldn't be able to go to these things without me (meaning, because xH works most weekends). Also, I worry his family is uncomfortable but hiding it. Blecky.
Hooray for the DD's and their favorite movie series! I'm excited for you three.
As the father of two boys, I can't say I fully understand the appeal of HSM*, but if I imagine how my two are going to behave once the new Transformers 2 movie arrives next summer, then I think I can relate (and how).
As for your xH -- let him be uncomfortable. This is what he asked for.
