big deal...........blah!

Fridays are the worst!

I remember today would be movie and pizza nite.

A few drinks, lots of laughs, kids happy, mom and dad happy, Oh scratch that...I forgot my W says she only came back for the kids...so I guess all of those smiles were forced smiles, all the FRIDAYS were a pretend act, like in one of those Reality Shows.

Yippeee, it's friday. Whooo hooo. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

FM,
Didn't get a chance to respond to your thread the other day. I feel for you, and I know what you mean. While I didn't have an A I did go through a time of being miserable in my life, unconsolable. II know I caused my WW alot of pain during that time, I was in a lot of pain myself, misery. Didn't know how to get out.

That was three years ago.

You can't go back and change the past, but we can change how we behave in the future. It sounds like you made those changes. It is frustrating. Hang in there, you are doing the right thing this time, which is all you have control over.


Juke! WW boyfriend moved to AZ I think. At least for awhile. I'm expecting a visit from him to Fla as soon as I move out of the house and WW changes the locks.

FM, I'm gonna hop on the bandwagon of "do something!"

After FWH moved out, everything just kinda got dropped around here - me making dinner, keeping the house tidy, playing games with my boys.

BUT, you cannot (as I could not) wallow in that forever.

I still remember the weekend I got up on Sunday, before church, and made the traditional pancakes and bacon Sunday breakfast. It was actually pleasant and fun. We ate, we watched cartoons, we talked and laughed.

That is the day H came over unexpectedly to get tax information, and I could see the crushed look in his eyes that our life was moving on, and he wasn't in it anymore. It was a turning point in his fogginess. A turning point in my Betrayed Spouse-ness. Normalcy, happiness, security for my boys.

Stick to those old traditions now, even without her. They can soothe your soul.

FM,

You're in FL right. I think both our b-days were last month too (13th). the big 35?

I can have us some Guiness or private stock in 10 minutes. Say the word.

God bless

d_rose, I really like your sig line. Our MC always reminds us that our issues are about this big (he holds up his fingers about an inch apart), and all the crap we pile on top of them is about this big (uses his arms to show about a foot length).

And it is so true! Alarmingly true, actually . . . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

FM and fellow MBer's:
"Happy" Friday!!!!
I couldn't wait for this dang week to get done!!!! I hate knowing I have 3 day weekend coming up .... the week just drags!

I have big plans of "cleaning and packing". YEAH!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

FM - I see you had a "long" week. Hang in there. Just remember even when a wound is "healing", it sometimes hurts more than the first cut. It's about "healing" and "treating" your wounds with as little scaring as you can possiblly cause. It's kinda like, I don't need to look at the scare from my C-section to know I have children. But, if my kids aren't around - I look at it know I've had children. That will always be part of me and has made me the woman I am. (I hope that made sense).

Now, it is FRIDAY!!!!!

knock! knock!

FM....Yup it's Friday! Once again I feel ya! I spent the morning thinking/planning/thinking/planning. WW is on the east coast running a marathon. DD is at school. Damn silent around except for my beagle! Then I remember many posts talking about doing something.....

I did. I mowed. I dug a trench. I washed my nasty behind from all the work and picked up my DD! Had pizza here at the house with one of her friends. They are on the patio right now playing as I type because frankly, I can't play Barbies anymore today!!!! Throat gets sore playing Ken, Prince Eric not too mention I have to be the horse too!!

My point my distant friend - my day went from pretty shi*** to a pretty good day. All because I decided to do something else. I figure I'll have plenty of time to catch up on my thoughts later but not today.......I hope you had a great day with your children........LS

Yep Friday...and another 3 days of Karate events which will rob my kids of their mother and my WW of her senses... (she was out partying with karate buddies tonight, and she is doing a tournament in Nottingham sat & sun and is staying overnight.)
I'm really sad and it hurts BUT I reclaimed it ! I took my kids out with my best friends and THEIR kids tonight and have a lovely evening playing with kids and talking with friends about vacations & work an dall sorts of stuff.

Tomorrow when WW is stewing in her miserable karate pit I have arranged a horse riding lesson for the kids first thing, then their beloved cousin is coming over to play with 'em while I do some neglected gardening and drink a brew or two in the sun.
Sunday ? Not decided yet, either take a picnic on a country dog walk with the kids, or, well, something else cool. I WILL NOT let WW's craziness rob my & the kids of our weekend !

VIVA FRIDAY & WEEKENDS ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> :@thumbsup:
