never much time to stay long but wanted youz to know I was thinking of you and your fantastic lives. Enjoy your feasting tomorrow. Have a happy one. Maybe I will drop back ..don't know ??
H called me again about 20 min ago. Asking if the bank was open on Friday, or if I can take money for the truck payment today when I take Jenni her pies. Well I am meeting her in my town, and I told him I would check to see if they are open on Friday or not.
just went to put the whipping cream in the freezer, and H must have been going to fix himself a drink when he was packing, cause there was a bottle of Sprite and margarita mix in there, I think he was trying to get them cold fast. OOPS!
MT, don't be so hard on yourself but do stay strong and follow thru with your boundaries. H took just a few things, he is making a show of moving out and wants you to beg him to come back home. As Kel says, nothing will change if you allow that to happen.
You did right when you did not call him. He called you! IMO, you can say ILY but do not pursue him now. Let him flap like clothes on a line but you are the post that holds the line. You are strong.
I'd love to be at your house with all the wonderful scents! (((MT35)))
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
Thanks you for the reinforcement WC. WOW this is hard, but I know for myself I have to do this. No matter the outcome, I deserve to be with someone who only wants to be with me.
Thank you! Do you have any big plans for tomorrow? A big Turkey while watching football? That is the thing I like about Thanksgiving, there is always NFL, on Christmas day it is NBA basketball, and bowl games. I guess I am just a bigger NFL fan!! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by! I do appreciate it.
My family gathers at my folks, some spend the whole day and some come and go. Tradition is we all gather at Mom's each holiday and Thanksgiving is my favorite!
Yes it is hard but you CAN and WILL be okay. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
Surround yourself with things that will give you strength. Here's one for you, when I remember the chorus I feel myself straightening up....
The Ride by Chris LeDoux I was six years old, my brother was ten One July day came running in, seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town So, of course, we headed on down
Well it took us an hour to walk that far Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair With a few old rides but there was ponies there
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel This old guy smelling of smoke and rum Swung me up and sat me down on one
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done Cowboy movies made it look like fun This old man whispered a few soft words It was the best advice I've ever heard
Chorus: He said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky And live like you ain't afraid to die And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
I went up a kid with shaking hands And I came down a full grown man It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell Things were different for me now, I could tell
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in His rhyme would pop in my head again And somehow I rode through the needles and nails Brambles and thorns that life entails
CHORUS
Well I know some day farther down the road I'll come to the edge of the great unknown There'll stand a black horse riderless And I wonder if I'm ready for this
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell And lift my song into the air That I learned at that dusty fair
"Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky And live like you ain't afraid to die And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride" Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
Thanks you for the reinforcement WC. WOW this is hard, but I know for myself I have to do this. No matter the outcome, I deserve to be with someone who only wants to be with me.
MT, you are so perfectly right with this statement. It was exactly what I was floundering with in my thoughts on my thread.

Me too!
Give yourself a hug and lots of deep breaths MT. You have gotten very good advice above.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
Thanks WC- You know I have heard that song a million times, but actually reading the words make it stand out even more. The new song by Brooks and Dunn "Cowgirls Don't Cry"...but this cowgirl seems to cry though!
Hope, WOW I just posted to you. I am thinking and sending hugs your way too. I just can't believe everything that has happened in the past 24 hours for us.
Ran into my SIL (the one I like H's sister) in Wal Mart we talked for quite a while, and my niece was showing me what she is getting for Christmas, I just laughed, she wraps her own stuff too!!! She is in 4th grade and is too funny. Lots of Hanna Montana. She asked about last night and we talked a lot. She would like to talk to him too, and tell him he is an idiot, but she knows it won't matter. It was nice to talk to her and she told me to come out and visit too. Jenni when I took her the pies, also told me she would be around and come out this weekend if I want. My RL friends are great too. Just like my friends here. Now it is time to make my stuff for at home and get the house cleaned up a bit.
Kel- Ended up downloading the movie from Amazon, as a rental. haven't gotten to watch it yet, but I will this afternoon.
H called while I was gone, probably to just see if the bank was open on Friday.
Hope everyone has a great day and make the best of it. We have so much to be thankful, just because he have each other and our friends and families. Take care everyone!
I am thankful for the weather we have, it is in the 60's and beautiful!!! I even opened the windows to let some of the stagnent air out. I still want 80 but I will take 60's any day in November!!
