Can I eat fish on Fridays during Lent?

[Underdog]

Well, thanks, but I'm not sure if life warrants a "GO ME" reply.

I don't have anything to report, really. Mr. W. returned the girls an hour after he said he would be by, but I really didn't mind. The weather has been downright gorgeous, so I took the newspaper outside and enjoyed basking in the heat for awhile until they returned.

When his car pulled into the driveway, I was greeted by 3 people waving--2 of them frantically. He dropped off their stuff, told me he had washed all the clothes and then commented, "Well, off to grill steaks with the gang!"

Okay, I'm not feeling resentful of that--I had 2 nights and days to myself to regroup. I know how important that is. But there was an underlying anger and resentment that I was feeling, and it wanted to come out in full force.

I ended up taking D7 on a walk and to the park just to tell myself to get a grip (I fantasize about filing when I'm feeling this way).

He phoned this morning and asked how this afternoon will work--I had to explain twice that I'm leading the girl scout meeting and will bring D10 home afterward. Then I'll get dressed for the gym. They can eat dinner so he can drive her to gymnastics (she's now in advanced class!).

He called me with Bob... but it was all I could do to keep myself from getting pissed at his seeming density. I didn't lose a nice tone with him, but I knew if I didn't hang up I would.

Mike, please don't take responsibility for this! I know we discussed stuff that really bugged us, and if I had been able to have the time to pull out the Pirates of Carribbean disk so I could morph his face into a skeleton, I would have! I'm jealous that I didn't come up with that idea...

However, one sick note on the revenge front. A good friend of mine is going through a breakup as well (though he is not married). His STBXGF is being a bitch and he was venting via IM while I was cooking dinner.... he asked me ways I could advise him to get even!

1. Write notes to himself or her using her good lipstick.
2. Pee on the floor, making sure to spray the toilet.
3. Leave the toilet seat up.
4. Turn the toilet paper the opposite way that she likes.
5. Hide her sanitary equipment in the garage.
6. Use the toilet paper and put the extra rolls out of reach.
7. Use her wash cloth in the shower to wipe his butt, and leave skid marks.
8. Use her expensive facial cleansers to scrub the sink.
9. Collect all the hair that she leaves on the floor and deposit it in her sink.
10. Blame it all on his cat!

I think there was a really good one but I forgot it in the heat of the moment. He felt better after we itemized them and so did I--though I made him promise to keep the list as our little secret and not do any of them!

I'm feeling supremely pissed off right now. There goes Mr. Wonderful back to his single life, pretending that we have no problems, that he has no problem and that he has no responsibilities.

THIS SUCKS!
