The latest with me

Romeo - I could just smack you! LOL

What'd I do now?

Regarding LL, she says it's receiving gifts but she's so hard to shop for. I ask her what she wants she tells me she doesn't need anything. I tell her I didn't ask her what she needed instead what she wanted and she'd say she'd think about it. She'll never tell me

[mindfull]

Romeo - MY GOD! They are one in the same!

Does she have a mole above her left butt cheek? LOL

[ImprovedRomeo]

Mind, my memory fails me...it's been a while since I saw her butt cheeks. lol

So...no response from STBXW since my last email.

I noticed she requested her credit scores/history that came to our home address. Hmm...is she getting ready to hit the D button?

On my drive in to work I was reflecting on us and at times I want to just move on but something nagging tells me to not give up. I feel (right or wrong) that while I'm not be perfect I've done more than my fair share of working and standing for our marriage/family.

[mindfull]

Romeo -

Hey, maybe she's planning on financing something? House? Furniture? Car? Boat? Boobs?

You have done your fair share. Hold your head high!!!! And, ADORE the D6!

[ImprovedRomeo]

Thanks Mind! you have a way of making me feel better.

I just got this email from her:

Well thanks but its not like you would actually want to stay with my mom anyway. and going home is never really a vacation, its more of a visit. I will look today to see about tickets/etc.

Are you going to take DD camping this weekend or no? If not I can cancel it, if you want to let me know.

DD asked if you could pick her up early today and I said maybe he can. She asked to bring pie so there is a black lunchbag with some pie and ice packs in it on top of the cubbies, try not to forget it. Also, tomorrow is her Daisy meeting so you can pick her up from the Library around 530. And Friday is 'crazy hair day' at school. Maybe you can just give her some weird pony tails or something. Today was another picture day so she is wearing nice clothes (don't know how nice they'll be by the time you pick her up though, haha.)

I have to be a bit careful in how I respond or if I should at all? What she's talking about her mom is when the last time we were separated her mom was pretty nasty to me. Her and I had never had ANY issues before, I was surprised how all of a sudden she became so nasty. From then on I never really want to do anything with her, I just tolerated her because of my STBXW.

Camping...this was an old planned trip from several months ago that STBXW had made a reservation for. I'm surprised she even remembered let alone cared. I wasn't planning to take DD but maybe I need to show her that I can go camping without her.

Last part is just chit-chat I think, she baked a pie last night, I've always liked her pumpkin pies. So maybe she's using D as an excuse but it's a nice gesture no matter what. However, last time we were like this something bad happened whenever she was being nice to me e.g. she filed for divorce in the background without me knowing while on the surface she was asking me if I needed something from the grocery store "since I'm here" etc.

As for picking D up early, I really would want to but it's been really hard for me and D to be up at 5:30AM, rush to school, then I drive like a mad man for over an hour to get to work, then leave early as is to pick D up while D spends a FULL day there...how does she expect me to pick her up even earlier...I'm sure D must've asked though and she's just relaying it to me.

Romeo -

Glad I can help in some way!

BTW, I think you can do the camping trip. Come on, Romeo! This is one little cutie pie! One night overnight! Hot dogs, marshmellows, soda and donuts, and you're good to go! She won't care what she's wearing, and she'll be a big help, if you ask her to be!

I'll be so proud if you take her! HUGS

No need to reply on the chitchat.

[ImprovedRomeo]

Mind, I know but I already have stuff to do on Sat (going on a mtn bike trip, taking a class and meeting with a buddy) and I'm working Fri. So that leaves Sun, maybe we could do a day trip, it's so darn far to drive! (3hrs one way). As for the email response, here's what I was thinking. Unless by chitchat you meant don't reply to her email at all?

"I don't need a lot of convincing to go on a trip. I could've visited my sister across the border too.

Camping wise, I didn't think I had DD this Fir/Sat so I ended up not taking Fri off and I have some stuff going on on Sat."

[mindfull]

Romeo... Sounds you don't have any issues w/GAL! LOL

Day trips are good! Quite far for a day trip, though! The point I was making was... YOU CAN DO IT! Don't be intimidated by doing it alone. Think about the one on one time D6 will get! You'd be more apt to teach her more, talk to her more, etc... than if you would have gone as a family.

Frankly, w/all that's gone on, have you even dated anyone in all of this over the past three years? You're too fun to be stuck at home.

[ImprovedRomeo]

You're right I can do it. A day trip is a piece of cake if not for the distance. There are several beaches nearby and some have day-use camping that I could take DD to in the future.

Dating? ha!...nope. Just what gave you the idea that I'm fun? I'm dry as a potato chip on a hot afternoon just ask my wife. I'm pretty ugly too, I couldn't get a date off the calendar.
