I think your birthday plans sound wonderful! Think of it this way...your parents aren't going to be around forever and this is wonderful opportunity to spend some time with your Mom...when/if your H comes out of his stupor, you can spend the rest of your birthday's with him!
It wasn't that long ago was it that you guys were flooding and now it is dry? If it is not one thing it is another!
You have got to be one of the strongest people I know! God Bless!

Oh ((((CW)))) Thank you for saying that! I just don't feel very strong at all!!! Especially these days when I get so down. But, I do appreciate you saying it!!!
I have been spending lots of time with my parents & they have been so supportive, I am looking forward to going with my Mom & us just doing something together. I think it will be fun.
Yes, you are right, it was May 1st & 2nd that we were flooded here, over 17 inches of rain in 2 days & now we are dry! So, from one extreme to the other, but that is life.
You hang in there! I admire you & how strong you have been in your sitch. God Bless you!!!
You will love Stone Mountain. They use to have a fantastic laser show. Great shopping in the area too.
I agree, the tire was entirely too old and just couldn't be fixed. I hope you get the new one soon. However, if your area is like mine...it's extremely dry here.
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.
I checked & they do still have the laser show, I'm anxious to see it. My Mom has been there but didn't get to see that show & has been wanting to go back for a long time. My Dad said he would take care of the dogs & why didn't my Mom & I go for my birthday, so I thought that was a good ideal. It's going to be a tough b'day for me anyway without xh around. I know I've had 2 of them without him being here but I guess since I will be 50, it's going to be harder or that is what I'm feeling right now. I guess it's b/c he made it so special. It will pass, it's really just another day & God will take care of it.
Well, I got the tire for the tractor ordered today, so I will pick it up on Monday, I did get my push mower back late this afternoon & thank goodness it was only the belt!! It only cost 46.00, I was so relieved! I just knew it was the transmission & I would have had to buy a new mower, so I'm very thankful! I didn't even try to mow it was getting late but also it's so dry so no need to right now. I think we are supposed to get a little rain tomorrow, that will be good & I'll just wait to mow next week.
NLT, Stone mountain is so beautiful. I went there several years ago with my family and ex. We had such a good time. I hope you and your mother have a wonderful time. My mother has since passed so I have some great memories of her there.
Birthdays are so hard when the ML'er is away. It is a matter of turning those memories of ex off for now and making new memories.

How are you doing? Thought of you today when my son and I were trimming the hedges...they hadn't been done for at least 3yrs and actually probably longer than that! I might need lessons from you!
Have you gone on your trip yet? Hope you had a great time!

Hi everyone! Thank you all for checking in on me!! I'm sorry I haven't been to the site in a while. I did go to Stone Mountain with my Mom & we had a wonderful time! It was hot, but she did great! She is 77 years old, will be 78 in a couple of weeks, we rode to the top of the mountian & she was out there just walking around all over the place. The laser show was wonderful, I don't know how they do all that, but it was really neat!
CW - I trimmed those stupid hedges again this past weekend, I've already had to buy another hedge trimmer. Bought one in May but I've already burned it up so this time I bought a Craftsman, of course I got into poison ivy again!! I've got it somewhere in those hedges & I can't get rid of it. It's not too bad, just on my arm.
The week before my birthday, I got more pictures of the baby! It had one of ow, didn't show her face, she was kissing the baby on top of the head, from what it looks like ow looks really old, the best I can tell from that picture. In another picture my ex was holding the baby, he looks really bad to me! Those eyes are not happy eyes at all, I can look at pictures from when he was with me & then that picture, he just looks bad to me. I sent them to a friend that has known him for a while, she said the same thing, so I'm not making it up. I also found out they are moving to Doha, Qatar - still running I suppose. I'm just giving it to God & I can't worry about it. I had a really hard weekend right after my birthday, I went to church on Sunday & the preacher preached on Is.55 about pardoning. Well, that afternoon I just prayed so hard for God to show me the way, that night I decided to read Is. 55 & 57, I wasn't going to read 56 b/c the preacher just preached on those 2 ch. Well, for some reason I went to Is.56:1 - here is what it said: "Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgement, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed." That just gave me chills! In other words, He is going to show me something soon. So, I just felt like He was telling me to just be patient He is going to take care of me & I've felt better since. Of course I still have my down times but I have felt better.
Now, get this.... I went to my office last week, I normally work from home but I do have to go to the office at least once a week, last week it was 3 times. I think there is a guy flirting with me!! I haven't been flirted with in 21 years so I don't exactly know. He did ask if I had a husband & he is pretty cute. So, if he does ask me out or something, which I doubt he will, I'll go. I looked him up on the internet & found him, I think he is about my age. So, we'll see. This is the 1st person I have even considered being interested in. I guess part of me still can't imagine my life w/o ex but I've got to take care of me. I'm trying not to get my hopes up that he will ask me out, but I do hope he does.
Thank you all again for checking on me! I'm sorry I haven't been here in a while, I will try to do better.
Sounds like you had a great time with your Mom! I'm so glad you went together as that time is so precious.
I believe God put the things we need to hear at precisely the right time in our journey. He knows when we're ready to accept what he has to say.
Now, about the office guy...hmmmm...no coincidences NLT! Sounds positive! Dust off your flirting skills....
No need to ever apologize for not being on the board while out living your life! Just don't forget to update because we love hearing about how you're doing!
Was very happy to see your post this morning on my thread!!! Glad to have you back! As SA said...don't apologize for being "absent" from the board while living your life!!!
What a wonderful memory with your Mother!!!
I also agree that you got a message at the right time...good you can recognize it!
Can't wait to hear about this office guy!
