Hi Mattie,
Isn't it nice to find yourself and discover that your own company isn't too bad at all? How do you like your new job? How is your DD?

I had a nice quiet evening with Mr. A. He had a very stressful week. The corporate people were down all week going over the accounting with him at his complex. He tried to explain some of it to me, but went right over my head. I'm the person who has a hard enough time keeping up with my few bills and balancing my checkbook. Can't imagine trying to keep up with the financials of a complex as large as the one he is head accountant for.

This morning I got out early and did some errands. I passed the OW on the interstate. Still have a hard time not wanting to run her off of the road. Good thing it was the interstate and the median separated us. LOL

A thought occured to me as I passed OW. Yes, she may have taken the "prize", but I do think it is definitely a "booby prize". Being with Mr. A has shown me how nice it is to be with a man who only has eyes for me. For so long STBXH played both me and OW, lying to both of us, sneaking around to see both of us. He was actually cheating on her with me in a sense. My very smart DD21 once told me this about her dad and his mistress, "if he cheated with her, he will cheat on her". I suspect this is correct. Sad that a child has to say this about her parent. It sure has given her a jaded view of marriage.

Things continue to go well with Mr. A, but I am liking the fact that at the end of the date, I can go to my own house. Never thought I would get to the point that being alone actually doesn't bother me. Even with DD18 being off at college now, I'm doing okay, actually better than okay.

Funny story, DD18 called me yesterday evening. She said that she and a friend were in Little Rock shopping and wanted to know if I wanted to meet her for dinner. I told her I had plans, she was quite appalled that her mother didn't want to meet her. Even tried to lay a guilt trip on me. LOL. I think our roles are reversed. It's usually the mother getting upset because the college aged child can't find time for them. I did offer to meet her tonight, but she said didn't know what she had planned. I tried...
