Thanks for the hijack forgiveness. I got confused - hard to believe, I know, but I thought I was on Bobbi's thread.
So does staying in your wife's house feel weird? Or is it sorta deja vu? It's good that you two have such a good relationship as parents - so crucuial. Hopefully, that can be maintained, whatever happens with your marriage.
I did get up and go to ballet, time to think about getting ready to go into work. I'm soooo hoping this is the last "heavy lifting" day. I may call a couple more friends to come in and help.
FashionBarbie still not approved?!?
I don't think anyone should kick themselves or feel like they wasted time coming to a decision regarding their spouse. Life is a work in progress, and letting go of any relationship is a process. Everyone goes at their own pace, and in the end, you end up stronger and better.
((((((Stacy)))))) I'm half awake, making sure the kids get up and out. And they are doing great!
It's a good thing I was tired from two nights ago, this bed is not the best. It's actually a daybed, with a fairly cheap mattress. But it is interesting that she always complained about our mattress. Or course, it's not great, either!
It wasn't really as weird sleeping here as I thought it might be. But then, it's almost like camping out as things are now. She hasn't finished painting yet, and the carpet is not in (which makes sense, with the paining going on). So, in a lot of ways, it doesn't feel like I'm invading her home. The daybed is in what will be the guest room (the master bedroom is empty, except for painting stuff) so it isn't even really like sleeping in her bed.
I could be wrong, but I don't think either of us will have trouble doing what's right for the kids, though I am sure we might disagree about what that is at times. But I don't think there will be trouble.
I'm not kicking myself too much. I'm more trying to understand what I have learned, so that I can be better in the future.

So I came home to eat peanut butter toast for lunch and my name change has been denied?? wth? No reason, just denied. Even though it is a small, small, thing, it's annoying. I don't think there's anything offensive about FashionBarbie.
I don't think I'll finish today, I'm just hitting a wall with it, and I don't want to be there for 6-7 hours again. And my back hurts.
As far as being co-parents, no, you won't agree on what's "right" for the kids all the time. But that's true whether you're married or not - right??
Was it fun to do the morning routine w/you boys?
Did you ever watch Seinfeld? There was an episode when George - who was working for the Yankees - had his desk rigged so he could take a nap under it after work. I thought of that when I read your sleepy posts yesterday.
(((((Stacy))))) That's weird about the name change! I can't imagine that it is offensive at all. The only thought I have is that there used to be (maybe still is?) a Barbie, maybe they are worried about confusion? Of course, there are plenty of other similar names. Or maybe the person who decided is jealous....
You are right, married or not there will always be differences of opinion about the kids, and everything else, for that matter. As long as we deal with them well, it will be fine.
I kind of watched the kids, and stayed out of their way. Since she leaves for work so early when she works, they have gotten to the point of actually being responsible for themselves! It was a lot different that it was a year ago, when I could hardly pry them out of bed.
I've seen that Seinfeld! I wasn't far from it yesterday. The building my desk is in is a "temporary" building, though it's been here at least 9 years, and will be much longer. It's like 50 (I've never counted, I have heard it is the largest of its kind) trailers all tied together. Anyway, that means the floor isn't the most solid thing. I can hear and feel people coming!
Sorry about your back. I'm a little too far away to give a good shoulder rub! Darn it!
(((((mishka)))))
Well, I got all the forms located on-line again. As well as a couple of para-legal services that would be happy to take my money to fill them out. But they really look straighforward, so I am having a bit of an argument with myself. I think I will start filling them out, and see if I get to a point where I am uncomfortable, and go from there.
Now I need to find out when my car will be done, and figure out how to get it picked up!
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
