Crazy crazy night. I stop after work to look for some things for S's birthday. I find a great deal on a shirt and jeans for S. $3 for the shirt, $10 for the jeans. I found a pair of boots for D on clearance that I actually got for free. Some line item discount. Weird huh? Even H was impressed with my shopping prowess! Lol!
H left to pick up S from soccer practice and D stayed with me and I got her ready for bed and got her teeth brushed. She was in bed by the time H got back and then all heck broke looseS she had an absolute fit because of something H said and it was off to the races. She even threw her library book. I saw it on the floor and I asked him I he was going to talk to her about that since it was school property and it is unacceptable for her to mistreat those books. He said well I'm going to let her calm down first. I just walked away. Ten seconds later he opens her door and tells her it is unacceptable for her to throw her library books because they are school property. Huh??? Is there an echo in here?
I should not laugh but she is so much like me it's uncanny. She has a temper and she gets so mad she has to let it out or she will blow. Heck my parents didn't get divorced and I still had fits like that. He even mumbled to me "Lord help the man who marries that girl!" I did have to laugh at that comment. She is her her mom and her grandma rolled into one. If H and OW think they are rid of me they are wrong because they have the little one to contend with who is 10 times worse. H thinks his eldest son and I didn't get along wait until you put D and OW in the same house. Hoo ha! You want to see fireworks?
By the way when D was having her meltdown I went into H's room to talk to him and he was in his underwear. He didn't seem embarrassed at all. I think he wanted me to see it. No thanks. I couldnt look. I thought I would go blind. I also noticed that OW was calling during our talk (while he was in his underwear). He didn't bother to answer and he did not call her right back. She was probably ticked about that. But it was 9:30. Hello sugarplum...he has kids to spend time with and a wife to solve problems with. Get your sweet @$$ to the back of the line!!!
Wow. He is coo coo for coco puffs all right.

Oh then he comes into my room after she falls asleep and tells me you know when she gets like that you just need to let it run it's course. Let her get it out.
Really? Do tell! I just smiled and nodded. Boy does this guy need his ego fed!

Actually I will be moving out once H gets me off the loan for the house. Whatever happened to the days I could take him for all he is worth? Lol!
Just kidding. That house is full of bad karma. We live on a wooded lot and I see the tree limbs bouncing in the wind like they are just biding their time before they decide to let go and come crashing down on the roof of our house. It's turning into a money pit. I am looking forward to a new environment but not looking forward to the physical task of moving and packing.
Kind of depressed today. Not sure why? Perhaps because the finality is looming in on me. The thought of not seeing my kids every day disheartens and saddens me. Perhaps I am just going through the sadness and acceptance this week since I was dealing with intense anger last week? I shouldn't get bogged down about it. One day at a time, right? Sometimes one moment at a time.
Thanks for letting me get that out. WH

Needed to work late to make up time for that meeting on Tuesday. Thought about shopping but I was tired and decided to come home. H was outside with the kids which was nice to see since it was a beautiful day. I just went in the house, put in a load of laundry and read the paper. H came back with the kids and made them dinner and asked if I wanted some too. He has been strangely nice. Strangely because there is a different vibe to it. Don't get me wrong I still don't trust him. But he seems less, I don't know, "volatile" I guess. He seems to be trying to keep the peace. I don't expect it to last though.
H said he would be home early Sunday AM to watch the kids hunt for Easter baskets. I told him I would put the baskets in the laundry room and he could hide them when he got in. I think he was happy that I suggested that. I bet OW won't be too thrilled knowing he is spending time with his wife and kids for Easter morning. I think I will make sure we have something delicious for Easter breakfast. Why not give him a good reminder of what he is missing? If I were a woman dating a married man (heaven forbid) what would be my biggest threat? The wife of course with the kids a close second. Of course you can make the kids an ally. Until you have to start living with them of course.
Crazy crazy times. At least things are more bearable for the moment. D was sitting with H on the couch and she wanted me to sit on the other side of her. That's the closest I have been to H in months. Felt like I was sitting next to a complete stranger. That mixed with seeing him in his underwear last night has me off kilter. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
Tomorrow he will be gone. Not a moment too soon.

wishing, I'm glad he's toned down his attitude, but like you, I would still be on my toes. It won't last long and it could be that he's realized his true colors were exposed to the GAL. He may even realize that his behavior didn't earn him any points in the meeting and now he's trying to back paddle w/you.
Enjoy the quiet time and the holiday w/your children. I'm sure you will have everything set up for the Easter Bunny to make his appearance and leave goodies for the little ones. Enjoy these moments because they sure do grow up fast.
Happy Easter!
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.
So anyone have any good recipes for an Easter breakfast casserole? I am looking for something simple that the kids will like. Easy, yet delicious. Any ideas?
Thanks, WH

I make this casserole for holidays and special occasions - or when I just want to do something special for my family
Creme brûlée French toast
2 Tbs. corn syrup 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1 loaf French or Italian bread, thickly sliced (with or without crusts) - also, if you use Italian bread, you won't use the whole loaf
5 eggs 1 1/2 cups of milk (I use skim; actual recipe calls for half and half) 1 tsp. vanilla 1/4 tsp. salt
In a small saucepan combine the corn syrup, butter and brown sugar; simmer until syrupy. Pour this mixture into a 9x13 baking pan that has been sprayed with Pam. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, leave the casserole at room temp while the oven preheats to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered, for 45 minutes.
Yummy!!!! And hey, even my picky MLCer eats it up

Thanks guys! They both sound Delish! Maybe I should make both!!!
So quiet. Usually H calls and Bothers us. No word at all. This is strange. But I'm not complaining.
Kids have been eating eggs today like they are going out of style. Egg salad and hard boiled eggs. They didn't get excited about the new ice cream but are thrilled with the hard boiled eggs. Weirdos!!!! Lol!
Looking forward to the rest of the weekend!
