Thanks for the support guys. I am checking on my parents house and cats and parrot while they are gone for three weeks!! In a way, I feel like I did when I lived at home and they went on vacation I stayed home...free. I want to stay out and goof off with my friends. I want to drive somewhere just to be somewhere else...and then reality shows up and reminds me that I can't really do those things because I have a job with regular hours and I have four kids and my car isn't perhaps the most reliable. Sometimes, doing this alone and being an adult, it just bites.

Yep, your H is in the wrong, wrong, wrong. Is that some legal thing that he monitors your son's account or something? Your son seems old enough that he shouldn't have to do that? Esp. if he's going to be micromanaging like that or whatever you call it. Are you doing something fun today? I hope so!!! Karen
I am driving out to my parents and then I have bookclub this afternoon. I really hate having it on Sundays. Sundays are hard because I just think of going to work again tomorrow. Trying to break that cycle but just doesn't always work.
It is what is as far as ex being a jerk about the money. I told s16 that I already have an investment account and I have a savings for him that I have had since he was little. We could just put a small amount in his Dad's account and deal with the rest as we went along.
I may plant some flowers this afternoon. It is sunny already and I know it is supposed to get warm this week. Happy Sunday as my D8 told me this morning!

Yeah, it's hard to break the "routine", but it is definitely good to do so. Enjoy life, enjoy that bookclub, keep doing new things......I'm so proud of you for seeing what changes you need, and following through. It's hard to do.
Hey! We just read "Plainsong". I liked it. A fast read and it has a sequel which is Eveningtide. I hopefully will get through the next book quickly and get to it. Only bad thing is that I borrowed 2 other books that I was interested in and have 3 or 4 more that my Mom has loaned me.
I think they are trying to keep my mind busy, which may not be such a bad thing since my wedding anniversary is the 27th of this month. First un-married wedding anniversary I will have had. I will try not to dwell on it.

Nothing exciting going on. I did become friends with my ex-boyfriend(the one right before H that got between flirt guy and I)on the alternate universe and have exchanged a few e-mails. I already knew he was divorced but I didn't feel quite up to reconnecting before.
I don't suspect anything will happen there but just maybe get his view on a few things that I want to clear up. It is funny that we were able to stay friends after up until he got married. We stayed in touch but lost track after that. I would see him every now and then and chat but haven't seen him since he got divorced. Sad that all around marriages are just falling apart.

I think that's cool. Yeah, I don't think it was necessarily good in the old days when marriages stayed together no matter what even abuse and all that, but today's if you're not 100% happy then divorce and try again, is no good. Something maybe inbetween. I wimped out and postponed the move until next Wed. I have stuff all day today and would have had to give up sleep until Thursday. I think if I keep up the packing and have the kids do some we can maybe get it done by Wed. Karen
