still separated, in limbo, still hopeful

Saint, I am really really grateful for your help!! I totally am feeling discouraged today (what goes up must come down) and your encouragement is good.

Don't take too much into that, he could have asked for it all back and IMHO that would have been worse.

Do you mean all of the stuff he has left? Ok I was freaking out for a minute.

hey, what type of GAL things have you been doing? and things to better yourself? you mentioned cooking and cleaning house better (have you rearranged furniture, or painted, or changed things up? that's a great thing to do. what hobbies are you doing for yourself? spring break is coming up, you should be off right?? any plans??

Oh and I don't consider cleaning to be GAL! haha

I have been home this whole school year! So for GAL I have done the following:
-joined some meetup.com groups for wine tasting, and single parent group (just avoid the dating activities)

-started taking classes for belly dancing and pilates (need to sign up for next trimester!)

-dieting and working out

-watching new shows

-taking S to baby classes

-got a wii (used) and started playing Super Mario Bros ( a friend of mine got me interested!)

-planting flowers in pots on my deck (on my to do list today- will post pics on FB!)

-doing hair and make up (tomorrow have a hair appt!- will post pics on FB)

-bought different style blouses than before (with patterns)

-bought new pretty underwear and bras, pajamas

-am building a toy box for S (but breaking news! WH offered to help!)

As far as rearranging the furniture, not interested! But I have put up new framed photos of S, daddy and S, mommy and S, bought new couch pillows, some candles...
whenever I see something that I think would look good in the house I get it if it is on sale!
