You guys are great. I can only pray that I will have a chance again w/ my H.
I asked him last night about keeping the MC appt and he said "yes, I still haven't changed my mind on that". I said "ok". Our appt is Sept. 7th. Earlier that day I have an appt w/ a bankruptcy atty as well - yahoo
The only hope I have to go on is the hope in your stories.
In the meantime, I am going on with my life and enjoying much of it. My S4 is a constant source of joy (and exasperation) He is the sweetest little boy. Yesterday he kicked me "by accident" during a tantrum (doesn't happen often thank God) and my reaction was to cry. He later went and made some flowers for me out of some connecting toys he has. He said "I can make you feel better, I'm going to make something beautiful for you" and gave me the "roses". My heart melted.
I also have some wonderful friends including a dear friend in NY who offered to pay 1/2 my airfare to come visit her this November. I'm so excited because we have never seen each other's kids and also I will be there for my birthday (hers too) and I will be there for the 1 year anniversary of my separation. I definitely want to be out of town for that!
Yesterday I finally created something I've been meaning to do for years. I turned some of my photos from a 1998 Europe trip into postcards. I want to make more!
My job is great, I love coming to work. My S4 is in an onsite preschool and loves it.
My H is gone for 1 week (again) on a biz trip out of the country. Last night he was over and tried to make small talk about his job. I listened and commented briefly. I could tell he was exhausted from his last biz trip and I wondered if he missed the comfort of our home. He now lives in studio w/ 1 window.
Well, i'll let you all know what happens w/ the MC appt.
Oh yeah, I was looking thru my DVD's last night and noticed that my "Shakespeare In Love" is missing. H & I used to watch that every New Year's and considered it "our movie". Could he have really brought it to watch w/ OW??? Should I ask him?
Thanks again! I need to find your threads.
