spent all day friday and saturday cooking and cleaning. on saturday night i had my husbands christmas party. ow was gonna be there. got myself all beautifull and sexy, and went proudly!! got through it elegantly-with only 2 small glitches. didn't get home until 3:30 am. got up at 5:30 to finish cooking for the 20 people coming over to go christmas tree cutting. its a party we throw every year. entertained them till 8:00pm. finally relaxed with husband and he told me how proud he was of me at the party. how easy i made it for him. did i forget to mention he took ow last year and stayed over at the hotel with her? did i also forget to mention this all happened on our 1yr d-day anniversary????

i never thought i would be here-1 year ago i had a nervous breakdown from all the stress. thought about suicide, all the usual. husband made me so proud at the party to be with him, we shined!!! he was supportive and caring. i know he didn't want to go because it was at the same place and she was gonna be there. i let him know i knew how hard this was for him and i was sorry, but we had to go for me. i needed the self esteeme boost. he understood it was for my healing and we both agreed that if it was to painfull we would leave. it was wonderfull-we danced, ate and had a great time. i love him. there is hope!!!

thanks everyone-i do own that weekend!!!

for so long i was afraid of it, but im not anymore. i have mourned and cried and moved on. we will not sweep things under the rug, we will deal with them. we are learning together. its wonderfull.

and for all you newbies reading this and wishing to be here-it was a long hard road. you too can do it-it takes time and patience.

my one small glitch in the whole thing happened when i met husbands superior, he by the way is sleeping openly with the owners daughter, who is his superior, and married with kids. when he came by to say hi, husband was out at the bar getting a drink for me, he introduced himself and asked about whereabouts of my hubby. i told him he's at the bar. his reply was "i was just at the bar, and he is not there. you might wanna go find him, you know your husband. haha." the table was floored-and they dont even know what is going on. i sat silently and smiled, knowing he has an idea hubby cheated. hubby fought him not to bring ow back to company-so hubby figures he kinda knows.

so later in the evening we went around thanking the owners and saying hi. his superior was standing with the married woman he is sleeping with. it was her we needed to thank for the party. so we went up and said hello-i hadn't seen her in 2 years. i asked about herhusband and family, cause i didn't see them at the party?? his face dropped!!too bad!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

hubby thought it was hysterical-he doesn't really like either of them. i did do it graciously!!

dear red-thanks. she is more than a little devil-we refer to her as my evil twin. at times we have even named her!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> she can be very nasty-but always with a smile.
