Okay I know this is a 2 day old quote but I was catching up and saw this.
My D13 and I love this song...when it comes on the radio we roll down the windows put back the sunroof and turn up and both sing it to the top of our lungs and then absolutely laugh our butts off......ahhhh talk about you father/daughter bonding....LOL.
Hey Punkin, Being a Grandma...."Its not a job...its an adventure".....same could be said about MLC huh....:)
Have a great night!!!

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
Ah, the ol' blankets over the furniture routine ... loved it as a kid, and all my children too, so must introduce to grandkids when I get to "C City" to take care of little ones while mommy has baby #3.

Whew! Back down to 2. I love my grandchildren so much. They make me appreciate the silence of living alone! lol. Went to the Arts & Crafts Fair ( small, only 70 booths) That took up all of an hour. Had a hot dog and a cold drink ($1.50, can't beat it with a stick)
Irish, as you stated, those late night come to Jesus meetings can be powerful. I think it has worked strangely on me. While I am still tremendously sad, I am somehow . . . come to terms with the situation. I realize that my H is only human, and deep inside me, I want him to be well and happy, even if it's without me.
I've faced the fact that if I had not placed him on such high pedestal in the first place, he couldn't have fallen so far.
Having my grands increases the sadness. They no longer even ask for Papa. I don't know if they've forgotten him or if the do it out of some internal sensitivity to me.
Sixty some days and counting. A lot can change in sixty days, I know. My husband sent from loving me on New Years to having no regard for me at all in this time.
Anyway, not to sound like a sad sack, but just wanted to share some of the feelings I have been having the last few days. So much for me winning the "Have A Great Weekend" Challenge.
Pretty sneaky of you bringing in some ringers ( i.e. grandkids) for the GAL challenge . You're pretty spunky Punky. I've got you in my crosshairs though...........

And this ^^^^ is true LOVE.
Ya know sometimes things happen for a reason Punkin. I believe that all things work at the time and in the manner that they are suppose to.
Punkin - You need to grieve your old M. You really need to let it go. After you let it go, you will begin the process of healing. You will begin the process of getting a place where Punkin will feel very comfortable with Punkin.
You are a women of great strength - it is obvious in your post.
So what are you going to do with this strength P?
60 days - fu*k 60 days. Stop looking at the time. Stop worrying about it. Why are you worried? Don't believe that things can change in 60 days? Don't believe in the love that you have for your H? Com'on girlie...you know better than to be focused on some timeline.
If anyone has a timeline it should be YOU. Do you know why YOU should have the timeline? Tell me please - I would love to hear your response.
BTW...as a grandma ....do you bake cookies? Please say yes...please...pretty please.

The issue is not that you put him on the pedestal - no - the real issue is WHY did YOU but HIM on the pedestal. So why did you? Be honest...Punkin....start digging girl. Let me know if you need my shovel.
Is Punkin not a wonderful woman?
Is Punkin not what Punkin wants to be?
Is Punkin not strong?
Is Punkin comfortable in her skin?
WHo the hel* is Punkin outside of her M?
Who is Punkin when the going get's tough?
God Bless, Eric

Oh Eric, what does punkin want? Ice cream and moonbeams and whiskers on kittens. The absolute truth is I don't think I know. Most times I'm able to think ahead, to a future without H in it, sometimes I just want to curl into a ball and hide under the covers. Sound familiar, anyone?
Why did I place h on a pedestal? Because he was simply my knight in shining armor, or, more realistically, my hunk in plaid riding a rusty Chevy. I believed in him absolutely. His intelligence, his drive, his committment, everything. Even when things were bad I was telling myself I was such a lucky girl. And I know that's an insult to myself. He, on the other hand, always told me he would never have succeeded if not for me.
I should have a timeline? The only thing I can think of is how long I'll hang on after it's obviously a bust. Self defeating, but truth. Oh, and believe me, my outside world will be totally unaware that I have a doubtful bone in my body. Just the people on this Board.
Do I bake cookies? Occasionally, but I'm afraid I'm more of a McDonald's drive thru kid's meal grandma. That, and gummy bears.
Okay. I concede. I am not the master of my domain. I did well on Friday and most of Saturday, until after all the kids were gone. Then I folded and spent most of Sunday in bed with a book. Trying not to think.
I guess I'm eliminated from the Weekend Challenge lightening round?
. You're pretty spunky Punky.
