Well, nothing new to report. I'm working in the yard today. It's hot so I had to come in to take a little break. I mulched the flower bed & now I've got to do some trimming on the hedges & tree limbs.
I had a moment this morning, just started crying while I was working in the yard. Started thinking, that is a dangerous thing sometimes. I just miss my ex, we usually worked in the yard together, just sad.
My dog is with me, she is not helping too much, just gets in the shade & watches me. Oh well, she is with me!
N, Be careful working out there in the heat and humidity. I hope that you are drinking plenty of water. The same applies to your dog...
It's okay to have moments such as you had this morning. We all go through it at some point. It could be trimming hedges, painting or mulching flower beds. It could be a movie, music or a special place that you both went to. Cherish those memories and allow them to wrap themselves around you. The sadness will decrease as time marches on.
Take care of yourself and your pup.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Yes, plenty of water for both of us!! I usually keep water out for her when we are outside, I take better care of her than I do myself.
I made it fine the rest of the day, but then I came in & took a good soak in the tub & just started crying again, hard this time & you know what, my dog came in the bathroom with me, came over to the tub & just stayed with me a little bit. She never does that, the other dog I had that died last year always came in while I was in the tub but this one doesn't. It was a real comfort to me. Dogs are very smart!!!
I usually do pretty well, but for some reason this weekend has been rather sad. I really don't know why, it just has. I know I will get thru it & I'll be better next week.
I'm having a tough weekend, too. It may have something to do with my 38th anniversary coming up next week. Wow. So much history to tuck away!
Dogs are awesome! After I had surgery a couple of years ago, mine didn't leave my side for days. I would wake up from a nap to see him sitting nearby, staring at me, waiting for me to wake up, I think. He still follows me around the house, though not up and down the stairs anymore, and settles in nearby whenever I sit down. Such a comfort.
Hang in there. TTSP.

Yes, I can imagine how your 38th Anniversary would make you have a rough weekend! It is so much history & it just doesn't go away. I guess I don't understand how our ex's can just walk away from that love we once had. That love just doesn't die, not for me anyway.
Dogs are awesome! The older one that died last year, I know she stayed here for me when I was going thru everything. She was pretty sick but I didn't know it at the time. On the day she died, I had to let her know that I would miss her, I loved her but I would be all right & she died in my arms that night. So, she knew. This one now is the same way, when my other one died she was right there with us. They are so smart!! They know when you are having a bad day & are such a comfort!
You hang in there too! Thank you for posting to me!!
Well, I just have gotten some more pictures of the baby. Yes, this ow thinks she has to include me in on all the happiness in their lives. She said:
She does smile….but it’s hard to catch her at this age! We’re blessed….the easiest baby in the world!!! (and she already loves to SHOP!) We’re in LOVE! Xoxox (ow & ex)
NLT, Your XH really got mixed up with a winner. This woman seems like a very cruel and sick individual. I feel so sorry for the baby as it seems she is being used. This woman got your XH, I just don't understand why she needs to keep trying to rub it in your face with bigger and better antics.
I so admire you for keeping silent about whatever she tries. Not acknowledging you receive anything must take some 'fun' out of it for her.
I don't think my ex knows ow woman is sending this stuff to me. I also feel sorry for the baby b/c I think it's her plot of trying to keep him. I may be wrong but I know she is crazy & mean enough to do that for sure. She is a sick woman!!
I think that it is getting to her that I don't answer, I don't reply or anything. She has no clue that I get anything & I didn't mention it to ex's sil when she called either so none of them know I get this stuff.
I'm sure my ex told her that we checked into adopting but they kept telling us it would be hard b/c of our ages (early 40's at the time) & I'm sure he told her I had wanted a girl. But he didn't care whether we adopted or not, he was doing that b/c of me & it just didn't seem to matter. He would always say as long as we had each other, we didn't need anyone else.
To me it seems this could be a desperate attempt to hang on to him. Oh well, what do I know other than she is an evil person.
We’re blessed….the easiest baby in the world!!! (and she already loves to SHOP!) We’re in LOVE!
