Take it to the limit

Hi Miz J, you lovely libra! Good to hear from you!

Yes, I hoped his homecoming would have gone differently too - guess we go back to that whole having no expectations thing. Zero. Zip. Nada.

I hope his decency - along with all the other good traits he once had that seemed to have gone out the window - are just on a delay and not permanently grounded. That would svck.

I'm glad my story helps you and others, though there are days I am ready to throw the towel in myself. I look to others on here to motivate me and keep me grounded. Don't know what I would do without this place!

Hope you are doing well

Hi Nero!

Did someone say organizing - woo hoo!!!

If I had to pick a fantasy job, it would be a professional organizer. I used to love when Oprah would have Peter Walsh on her show. I would fantasize about shopping at The Container Store. I'm weird like that

Anyway, Peter would always tell these hoarders who were cleaning out to make three piles - keep, throw away, and donate. I think that's a pretty good rule to go by. Is there any stuff you could sell?

I think a rule of thumb with clothes is that if you haven't worn something in a year (or is it two?) then get rid of it. Logic being if you haven't worn it in that long, you're not gonna miss it when it's gone.

Where I ran into trouble was having babies! Ummm, I gained almost 50 lbs. with my oldest. Not good. I have been so many different sizes over the course of a three- four year time span with being pregnant and having kids. I'd think - I can't get rid of this, what if I get skinny again? Or, I can't get rid of that, what if I stay this weight forever?

Now I put all my chubby clothes in the basement. Just in case.

Hope your cleaning out is going well

Nothing much to report. H seemed sullen and down today. Lots and lots of texting. Whenever I read various people's accounts of their spouse texting, I can always relate. I have read where several people have commented on their spouse "smirking" while texting. Oh, I remember that well. I know my H's flirty expressions - and they sure as hell weren't toward me.

But I'm here to tell you now that the smirking is long gone, and has been replaced with the most serious of expressions when texting. It's strange.

I've been trying to keep my distance from him, give him space. I read a book outside for awhile before going to yoga tonight.

He seemed to be in a better mood later this evening. I can hear him texting down there now.

When is this drama going to get old???? Because I've been over it

Really hope he's backing up to jump over that puddle. Just sayin.

Good night
