@Coach -- I'll have to read that and find out how to get my mojo back. Actually I haven't lost my mojo; it's just in winter hibernation.

@robx -- That's too much work. She's left me alone today, the kids go to her place tomorrow, so there's at least 6 days of peace forthcoming.

Fact is, I'm all out of sorts these days. I'm tired. I can't seem to get up in the morning. I don't have the energy to be getting divorced at the moment; I'd just as soon be divorced as be going through the process. The kids have been struggling so much, I've just focused so much energy on them, that the tanks are running dry.

It was a miracle on the order of the loaves and the fishes that I was able to do both grocery shopping and Christmas shopping on the same day -- and go to the dentist for a cleaning. That's a seriously full day by current standards.

These days I just miss being married. And that in and of itself is exhausting.
