Hey, Mel. That's awesome that your S15 would say that...especially in front of a fellow teen! And remaining true to yourself will probably bring about more respect from your kids.

Thank you for the compliment. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm doing so well. H came over today while I was doing a 5k and went through his pile of stuff in the downstairs bedroom. H took about 1/2, including the container with his wedding ring. He has never worn it (except at the wedding)...he just wasn't a jewelry person. Mine was stolen 6 years ago when our house was robbed...I had stopped wearing it during "gardening season". Aren't we a pair? I wonder if he even noticed it.

Tomorrow I'm doing another 5k (accidental scheduling), but he will be here in the afternoon. We don't have too much left to do before officially listing the house. I will feel a little less stressed when that happens. I feel like I'm going 15 ways at once with that, GAL and trying to go back to school.

Its funny. For someone who doesn't want to hurt me anymore (his reason for filing D), he sure has hurt me. For someone who keeps saying he doesn't want me to change, he sure has made it so I had to. For someone who said he doesn't need or like me, he sure has asked for my help, listening ear, and companionship a lot lately. I guess it really goes to show we really should only believe 1/2 of what they do and nothing they say.
