I'm all comfy at home, cutting letters out for banners.

I've got 4 teens playing pool in the basement and 2, 11 yo at the table making mints.

Just an average night at my house!!!

Does xH have a clue as to what he is missing? Does he even care?

Selfish people x's are!!! He's probably shopping at Walmart with wife, sister and screaming toddler!!

Mmmmmmmmmmm I like my life just fine!!

Hello girls! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I just finished watching "What lies beneath", with Michell Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. WOW!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I remember seeing some posts a while back, talking about the possible triggers b/c it deals with infidelity... but that didn't hit me tonight. I just laughed it off. But the movie still freaked me right out!!! LOL

Anyone else still around? We can chat on here you know! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I do so hope some newbies stop by so that they can see that you do make it through and are ok.

I also hope that they do not take it that we can laugh at what are x's do and have no remorse for the marriages that we have lost. That not being the case at all!!! We have moved to a place where it is healthy for us to vent and it doesn't bring us totally down.

This is a good place to be in life for me at this time!!!

The mints weren't too bad, the kind you have at weddings. The pool players gave up and my OD taught them how to play poker!!!!

Well,
Youngest child babysitting. Older out at a friends. H & I rented "About a Boy" & "Bourne ultimatim". I liked both.

H is military, we were supposed to be at a leaders' conference, cancelled & he'll be working through the weekend with alerts & mobilizations, not likely to go himself, but... seeing friends and their families struggle with the career that once was much easier and though meant their life...was more of a paycheck or perhaps, like us 18 years ago, repaying college loans.

And, really he wants to go. He has both my support & our daughters, if the slot for him opens. He told me we're going to update our wills and do the power of attorney...ok...I'm in a much better mind-set than I was when he went to Desert Storm...I can do this if need be, with much less crying.

Daybreak, I was at both ourWal mart & the Mall today, Good Golly, may I never again go on during the Stock Show!!!!! The parking lot alone at WM was worth the price of admission at an amusement park. No dents, just copious honking to & fro!

Lor,

Got to love WM and the parking lot durning stock show though!!!! Almost worth going to K mart!!!

Our first support group meeting will be at church Friday night. Pastor gave me some very interesting materials and bible studies on divorce, so will be using those materials. Pray for me that I lead in the direction the group needs to go!!!!

Had a phone call at 7:45 this morning from a church member who was told last week of H affair, he's moved out after 26 years and wants a divorce, the OW is supposely out of the picture already. Was a little shocked when I answered the phone, didn't know the name , but she said pastor had given her my name, could I help. I froze, sent a silent prayer and jumped in, as we talked she admitted that she OD'd and spent the night down at west side. I did get to meet with her after church, I shared your story with her, didn't think you would mind as it is one of hope!!! And then shared mine as one of hope!!! Hope that if you do have to go thru a divorce yo can come out strong!! I hope that I was of some comfort for her.

I was wondering about your H and if he would go or not, have some NG friends that have already left. It is so hard to watch as others go thru it, don't quite know how it is you are to feel or act. Sounds like you and the girls have a good attitude and I do know how much that helps when the H has to go!!! I probably made it to easy for xH everytime he had to leave, I didn't fall apart. Every once in a while I do hope that he has to go, and that she will fall apart and he can look back and appreciate how strong I chose to be!!! Oh Well!!!

Have a great week!!!!!
