Hi Everyone,

Thanks for checking in with me. What sweethearts you all are!

Actually, I have been doing quite well. I've been very busy. As matter of fact my dad tried to check on me three nights in a row last week by calling the house phone and he couldn't get me because I was out with friends and family.

My oldest DD is now 21. What happens to those cute little babies! So now my girls are 18 and 21, hard to believe they are both grown now.

As far as how I'm feeling, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. I finally dropped the rope after way too long. No more walking on egg shells. I can do whatever I want to. I no longer worry about what H will think. I know I gave my reconciliation attempt my all, I have no regrets other than it took me so long to let him "go".

I do have to share a funny exchange between my DD18 and myself today. She was off work today and had money burning a hole in her pocket, so of course we went shopping. On the way home one of my friends called and said she had run into my H and the OW at a restaurant today and it made her physically ill. DD asked me what the call was about and I saw no reason to lie to her. She knows her dad has a "girlfriend". DD said," I bet when people see Dad and her out they are thinking why in the world would he want to be with someone who looks as bad as her? At least Mom when you start dating someone new, it won't be one of your employees and he'll have his own job!" LOL, gotta love her, she is definitely a little firecracker.

Another funny note, I saw H's aunt Friday. She told me she asked her H what the OW looked like. He told her OW is so ugly, she could stop an eight day clock. The aunt said,"He only says that when someone is really ugly, so she must be really ugly."

I am enjoying my summer off. I think I'm about to head to bed. I have a long day of lounging by pool ahead of me tomorrow, life is pretty good. smile
