NNP, how was the 4th? I am so proud of you carrying on with traditions even though your H is not around. That shows you are a strong woman! You are my hero!!!

I had to laugh about your stalking a high school friend. I have a high school reunion coming up in August so I have been looking over the list to see who is coming. There are 2 particular guys that had crushes on me in HS, but I was dating someone else. Saw both of them on facebook, but they are not on the list of attendees. Anyway, I asked the person in charge of the reunion to contact both of them to ask if they were coming.....I didn't want to appear inappropriate, but love watching those old tv movies when old loves meet after years and years. Wonder if that works for "old crushes", too??? On the other hand, I have considered putting my wedding ring back on just for that night....I am not sure I want to face being "the divorced woman" Is that crazy??? I suspect I will not be the only divorced woman there, though!

Back to YOU: "What I don't get is once he got rid of me I thought his life was supposed to be perfect????" That is something I could have said! It makes me secretly happy that he is not happy....at least it confirms that I was not totally at fault!!! You certanly aren't either,but I think we tend to take the blame.

So, keep in touch and let us know how you and the boys are doing!
