He wanted to know if his social was attached in any way because then he would have to claim the interest. I said you are not attached to these account in any way. They are listed under the kids social and I am the custodian. He said thanks(for providing the info, but I doubt that he was very happy.)

I so can't wait for him to be behind me! Yes, I realize we still will deal with kid stuff but he won't have any buttons to push financially.

Or emotionally.

[kat727]

I am getting there on the emotionally. That part is a work in progress. When he brings the kids home he lingers like he is wanting to talk but doesn't know what to say. It is getting to be annoying.

When he brought the kids home last night, he said that s13 had slept pretty much the whole time he was there and maybe needed some Tylenol. Fine, does he not have any of that stuff for the kids? He could have had s13 feeling better earlier or if he acted as if he didn't feel well, he could have let him stay home. He is such an azz about "his' time that he doesn't even notice the kids.

I went to a funeral yesterday. As always it is a cause of reflection. It was the first funeral that I can remember that I didn't cry at. It had more the feel of a wake, than a funeral. Yes, there were of course people crying, but it was more a celebration of his life.

He was well known and the funeral was the biggest I have seen in a long time. He did indeed figure out the key to having a full life.

I want that for my family too. I know it isn't about "things" but experiences and reaching out to others that gets you there. Yet, in the day to day life, when we aren't reflective, we tend to forget that idea and let ourselves be weighed down. We only seem to cherish each day when we know our "time limit".

Maybe it is as simple as all that. Cherish each and every day not because it may be your last but because you have it to begin with.

Nothing reflective, just a joke my Dad passed on:

Subj: Cheap Travel




Three women and three men are traveling by train to the football game. At
the station, the three men each buy a ticket and watch as the three women
buy just one ticket.

'How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?' asks one of
the men.

'Watch and learn,' answers one of the women.

They all board the train. The three men take their respective seats but all
three women cram into a toilet together and close the door. Shortly, after
the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He
knocks on the toilet door and says, 'Ticket, please. The door opens just a
crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes
it and moves on. The men see this happen and agree it was quite a clever
idea; so, after the game, they decide to do the same thing on the return
trip and save some money. When they get to the station they buy a single
ticket for the return trip but see, to their astonishment, that the three
women don't buy any ticket at all!!

'How are you going to travel without a ticket?' says one perplexed man..

'Watch and learn,' answer the women.

When they board the train, the three men cram themselves into a toilet, and
the three women cram into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after
the train is on its way, one of the women leaves her toilet and walks over
to the toilet in which the men are hiding. The woman knocks on their door
and says, 'Ticket, please.'

I'm still trying to figure out why men ever think they are smarter than women.

Kat,
Great joke!

hey girlie, ready for the weather change?? thanks for checking on me. trying to hang in there.........

[kat727]

Yes, Kansas weather has a way of playing jokes on us. Just when we think Spring is ready to be here, in comes old man winter saying not so fast folks! lol. But it is home and I will take it for now.

I gave the kids their Valentine treats last night and bought them pizza. Sad that they won't be with me but I'll be ok. I went and got a couple of movies to watch and heck might even convince myself to go out tomorrow. It is still hard to watch all those happy couples while I don't have a significant other. At least I don't have the urge to run up to new brides and shout "You are making a mistake. He is going to cheat on you!!" anymore.

What was the line in Wedding Date, "Every woman chooses the love life she wants." ie when I am ready to stop being alone I will be. Maybe some truth to that, I just don't feel right trying to start something with all the stuff I have going on. Check back with me in March on that one.
