Sunday night here. I had a fun weekend. Friday was fun and then yesterday I grilled meat from Argentina which tasted terrific, bought flowers for my veranda and was in a god mood. H came over with the money , we ate and then went and bought my son a new bicycle and my D a Hanna Montana skate (with a wheel dont know how you call it). Later, H took the kids out to play and I joined them and we spent 3 hours playing football, basketball and having fun. The kids loved it.
He never said anything about the email which was an email about priorities and life in general the way I would talk to a friend of mine.Nothing about us. A lot of things about my son and his needs. Many things about his high quality living standards (I still find this ridiculous). But I was harsh. Just like I would be with a friend. At night he made no move to leave and stayed over which I thought was strange. I did hug him and kissed his back, and to be honest, I did it to see how he would respond because I dont do that. His response was a...pat on my arm. I went to sleep feeling this is hopeless.
This morning I got up and he wouldnt. So i got the kids ready and left. When he said where to, I told him tot he center of Athens, and that we wouldnt be back for lunch. Which is what I am going to do from now on, making my own schedule and following it thru, if he is too tired etc, his problem. We are not staying home, watching tv anymore so that he can pretend he is with us.
After an huor we were gone, he called and said he was in the center of the city too and wanted to meet us. The kids told him how they loved walking in the national garden and doing something different and he looked tired but as if he had no choice.I know he didnt like me leaving the house but...tough luck. He got up at noon!!!
We went to eat to a tourist place he hated. I did too but I wouldnt let it ruin my kids fun and acted as if. I made him look grungy (is this a word)like an old man...
He took us to my car and left. I took the kids to the beach this afternoon and had a lovely time. He called and was surprised I did that. We stayed there until 21:30, ate ice cream and took pictures (on FB).
He called again and told me he had just found my email and apologised for not mentioning it.Funny, I've noticed ever since his A ended, he doesnt use his mail account much.
Anyway, I am doing good. I think my mojo is slowly returning and I feel stronger again. He does bring me down when I let him. So, I am not letting him.
On Wednesday I am showing my jewlery at a group at the office. I aleardy sold 2 pieces and they want more. I have given some to my BGFs to wear as a marketing trick and it works!!! I am proud of myself. My family that has seen what I am making are pleasantly surprised. Ohhh, and my paintings are starting to move also. So, I have busy nights after the kids go to bed. Which is good.
I am actually impressed that he called you and mentioned the e-mail specifically! Seems like he typically tries to avoid talking about them.
Going to the center of Athens. Sounds interesting!
And I get you on the food being bad but you acting happy anyway for the kids. There were parts of Disney World where the food wasn't great but for the kids, it made them happy. Or the ride was short and the line was long, but they didn't care. So I didn't care!
You are starting to sound more like yourself. I like that!

Continue to remember all sides of this as it is very, very important.
I like reading about the rise in your energy levels lately and I'm hoping you'll get to sell a ton of your jewelry.
The only way to get through the Hell is to go straight through it! You are doing well. Keep this positive focus and remember it is YOU that decides how you will/won't react, feel, behave, etc.
YOU are the one in control. Good for you, my friend.
No, I got sidetracked with the things I am making and when I finished it was after 3 in the morning. Couldnt get myself to load anything up. I will later, when I get home... K
