C=nut, I admit, I was too, addicted to Super Mario Brothers, then Sonic the Hedgehog when Sega Genesis came out. As an only child, I needed some form of entertainment.
You know, I would like to help him better himself. I know it isn't my job, but if he wanted help, I wouldn't certainly give it. Hey, I am not the epitome of health, I've got meat on my bones and I am a sugar addict. I can't do much about his motivation to find a job and succeed in it.
Seriously, we don't have all that much in common. He is a sweet guy with good intentions. Have I let go of him yet? NO. Is it horribly selfish? probably. We just don't have that connection either. But, I can't see him for a while, and I feel as if we are free to date, so he could knock himself out. I would accept a date from someone else. But I think he might even know that he needs to have a job to get a date.......
Anywasy, power came back on Monday night, but I was at mu friends. Last night was my first night at home. I had to get rid of all the food from the fridge and freezer and start over. I bought some staples, but that's it for now. Today I am working form home since we have a noreaster. Lots of snow coming down heavy and fast.
ExH and I got in a fight yesterday. I can't believe he could still get under my skin. I ws running all over stressed as heck, trying ot get the fridge cleaned out, get dinner for all the kids, and grocery shop, and get D10 to her cooking class. I speak to exH and D10 left her book for her assignment at his house and she needs it done by Friday and she wasn't seeing him before then. He preceeds to tell me he can't keep coming to drop the stuff off she forgets. He tells me "it's not FAIR need to come when she forgets something, you should too" I got angry. NOt fair? I asked him who always gets our daughter everything she needs, appointment and activity wise? I asked if it was fair that after I pick her up, I drive her to your house to pick up what she needs, then drive back, make her dinner, get her to her activities and the such? He only had ot say for himself "you just don't like it when you hear something you don't like".
Well, no sh!t Sherlock, think before you speak! Well, I texted him. Against my better judgement, but I was fuming. I said " in the 10 years I have been raising our daughter pretty much single-handedly, I never once got a thank you or an ounce of appreciation. I learned to live with that. But telling me I am not doing my fair share? That's a kick in the gut. You are right, I did not like hearing that and no one in my position would."
Of course he didn't answer. But he was trying to text gabby, but she was at cooking class (where I take her on Tuesday night and paid for in full because he is "kind of poor" right now). He just texted me "tell D10 to look at her phone" He was coming to drop off the book. He comes over later, I was in the kitchen, he hands it to her, (I don't hear any of this) and she comes in the kitchen crying. "Daddy said to me not to text him goodnight later, I'm saying it now". H is lucky I did not hear that because I would have went nuts! he is so lucky to have a child who wants to text him before she goes to sleep! She was so hurt by this. I can't stand him. Now I am texting him about a doctors appointment and what day he is taking next week, and he won't answer.
So that's my long-winded soap opera. I just remember when D10 was 6 months old, I asked myself "how am I going ot get through 18 years of dealing with this man?" Well, I have made it 10, I am over halfway there!
