Apple crisp for the grown ups? I bought a ton of apples last time I was at the store (the kids were grabbing them right and left) and they've not had one!? Wuzzup with that?


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

Good Gosh Woman!!!

How do you stay so thin and cute, Blondie? I have to starve myself into oblivion to be thinner, and even still. . .

No justice in this world!

When you going, Faithful? I'm comin' too!

I'm blowing up as I write this. Put on my surf shorts and am def gonna begin watching what I put in my mouth. Urg. Part of it was the zoloft, tho. Hopefully since I'm off it, I can go back to my normal eating habits.

Oh and cuteness is just a state of mind.

Well the attorney was a no show. We got there and his secretary said she has not been able to reach him that he had been in court all morning. So we waited an hour, turned in the financial paperwork and left. Just calm chit chat while we waited.

At least I don't feel like as much of yo-yo today. Kimmy, I am right there wid ya on the losing weight thang. Gotta start um, tomorrow!

When is your next appt, FF? I'm wondering how to view this, as a chance God is giving you or as a cross to bear. Either way, you can do it, and we love you!



As for our food update. . . . . . . . .

Y'all would be so proud! I avoided the Song of the Sirens. . . uh, I mean Taco Bell, today.

Everybody ate TB but me. I drank water & snacked on crackers while gazing longingly and lovingly at the Burrito Supremes and stroking Mild Sauce Packets for vicarious comfort. I know, pathetic. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

*sigh*

Onward, onward, onward to the gym. Tomorrow. If I can drag my carcass there.

Hey, one step at a time, ladies!

You guys have any goals you want to be accountable for? Heh heh heh heh heh. . . .

Y'all are BOTH cute! I can't wait to meet you! Later this summer, please?

FF, do you live near Kimster? Can you say? She has my email if you would like to write.

SLH, I live in the land of fruits and nuts <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I would love to visit Kimmy, Starz and you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Just can't pull it off. Funny I was wondering about the God thing too. Our last appt was cancelled and this one a no show. Well God can only intervene in places he is wanted and right now my STBX does not want intervention <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the cute remark, Kimmy. I am but got to get rid of this belly <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, not in a great place emotionally today. I think PMS is playing a part in it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Got triggered big time last night which led to me having panic attack and really upset with stbx. He was talking about a 4 month old baby that one of his clients had at an appointment. That led me to thoughts of OC who is 3 months old. Which of course led to being hurt, angry and feelings of despair because for the last 5 years I wanted another child but stbx did not want any more kids. I very badly wanted one more chance to go through all the normal developmental milestones which DS missed and just be a mommy one more time. So of course, OWhore gets pregnant and gives birth to stbx's SON. That should have been my baby is all that goes through my head. He wouldn't have another child with ME, but stupid him got OWhore prego and is now going to have that chance I wanted so badly. Since we are D'ing I don't even get a chance to be a step mommy to OC. Nothing, OWhore wins in that category too.

Ok, nuff venting. I really need to get through this grieving process. I am 44 years old and am never going to give birth to another child. Accept it already! I had 3 kids, some people are not so blessed. I need to accept that too.

DD and I are going to our annual mother/daugther retreat this weekend. I am looking forward to being away from stbx but will miss my DS. Bad triggers for this weekend too as it was during last year's retreat when OWhore and stbx went and got their affair phones (with my DS in tow). OWhore got her evil hands on my DS last year. She even fed him!

Arrrrghh... I did ask stbx to please refrain from introducing our son to ANY OP this weekend or EVER unless it is serious and waaaaayyyy in the future.

Ok, vent over. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Back from the retreat. DD and I had a great time. Lots of good food too, yum! STBX missed us, I think especially because he forgets how much work our DS is. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, I am in a pretty good place emotionally the last couple days. Good to get away from all of it before I exploded.

Well, SOB is back in C with someone. Not sure who, but I suspect it is the last OW. I almost put a recorder in our van to make sure he didn't expose DS to anyone but decided to let it go since there has been no phone contact lately. Well jeez he was on the phone all night last night.
