Well, Rocked, I do declare. I am just anxiously camped out by the mailbox shifting from one foot to the next as I await the arrival of your invitation. Which you painstakingly prepared in your best calligraphy as per the instructions in your favorite craft book book! Which you keep by your bedside in case you have a late night creative urge! I have never tried the plant and herb ink but thanks ever so much for the tip. It will come in handy for sure!!! I hope the inks are all different colors.... (rubbing hands in glee).
Domestic Divas are in the house! This housewarming will be simply divine.
ImprovedRomeo, of course boys are invited. But you must bring something that you have crafted from your own fair hands. So, as Rocked said...what ya got?
Talk to you later. Rocked, I must return to making that throw cushion which I have carefully coordinated with your color scheme. The motif is a bit tricky but it is so darling, darlin'. Then its off to make cookies and homemade jams which are all part of the housewarming goodies I have planned for you. Oops, I let the cat out of the bag, didn't I?
But... the catch is you gotta contribute something.... so, what ya got?

Once lost but now found and happily married again!
Oh my dear Rabbit... I would never let you miss the party!
I am waiting for Pearl to get back from her trip and then it is party time my friends!
So, I am all moved in. Woohoo!!!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my place! It is so "me". You know, after being married for 20 years when you are always considering the other person's preferences in the home, it is so fun and refreshing to do things my way. I love it.
Still surrounded by boxes and putting stuff away, all the litle "touches" of decorating and making it feel like home... but that's the fun part.
The other thing going on is that the kids and I moving into our own place (as opposed to with my parents as we have been living) seems to have sparked a crisis for my H. He is now contacting me a lot and bringing up reconciliation. He says he is now suddenly doing the reading I asked him to do during piecing but never did and is realizing all kinds of things he never realized before.
Hold the phone! Nope. Let me tell you... my H is not any where near being in a healthy enough place to extend ANY trust back to or to be in a R with at this point. I told him this very clearly. But he wants to know if we can at least "talk" from time to time.
Sigh. At this point... way too little, way too late.
But, I am happy.... loving my place, loving my life. The kids are happy. Life is good.
Wow! that is refreshing to read You sound so good and strong. It *is* like a huge weight lifting when you get to that point.
Congratulations and I hope you put all this behind you and enjoy life the way we all should

Thanks my friends. Maple! So good to "see" you again! Hope you are doing well.
Sooooooooooooo......
My H called last night and wanted to talk reconciliation again. He is now saying he will "go to any lengths" and do anything to not lose me. He said if it takes a few years to rebuild trust, then that is what he is willing to do. He kept saying he has been doing a lot of reading on healing from A's and now he knows I was right (huh, go figure!) about what needed to be done when we were piecing and he was wrong.
There was a lot more than that, but that's it in a nutshell.
At this point, it still is too little, too late for me. I told him, I don't trust his motives, I don't trust him at all period. I told him I don't see how it is even possible anymore. He just kept "validating" me and saying he just wants me to know that is where he is at.
Well, based on my experience of the past year and a half, my thinking is that OW probably turfed him and that is why this is happening. Plus, he is not making it financially on his own and me moving with the kids to my own place made it all "real".
I will never be anyone's consolation prize, and I will never be second best again. I don't know how he could prove to me that is not the case. I don't know how he could prove to me that contact with OW is truly and permanently cut off this time.
I just don't see it happening.
And, it has messed with my emotions.
So, yeah... I was doing really well. Today, I feel emotionally on edge and confused.
