Mine has been pretty crappy -

Filled with all of these emotions; I'm trying to cope and ignore what is going on but its simply impossible. Everything I do, everything I listen to or say reminds me of my W; she wanted me to call her yesterday so I did, but she didn't answer - I left a message; she never returned contact...I guess life is dandy without the H around huh? Wish it was that easy for me..

Good, thanks!

Had a nice meal out with my girls this evening. We asked WH to join us but he wouldn't. So we had fun, just the three of us.

Oh - not to mention I found out my full-time job has gone from 40 hours a week to FIVE. F-I-V-E. Meanwhile, my W was lucky enough to find herself a steady 40+ hour a week job WITH benefits - as if I didn't feel bad enough as it is; now I feel like a bum.

I have two job interviews today; so hopefully things will look up, but for the time being I feel like absolute crap.

My journey with God is a plus however, and I feel like a new person through all of this; but emotionally right now things really suck hard.

Fox,
Sorry to hear that. Maybe she was just waiting to see IF you would call. Maybe she just wants to know that you're still there for her? I dont know, thats weird stuff girls do! I would just rather not have my H around because he's so mean and hurtful. Its easier to cope when he's not around. This whole situation is hard, especially since there is a child involved.

Actually - you know what...

Life is good; I spend too much time in the negative.

Let's see; I kept up with my journal today, had a nice refreshing shower, and am off to look for some more jobs today. Not to mention I woke up and was blessed enough to spend another day in God's wonderful creation.

Life is GOOD.

Well - the weird thing is,

Her best friend asked me for the link to my online journal today: that threw me off. Her best friend never talks to me; and a huge emphasis was placed on getting the information for my journal - is it just me or is that a little odd? Why would her best friend want to read my journal? I didn't even know her best friend knew I had a journal.

Hi Cg,

I'm not doing too badly.Sniff.... I caught a cold from my youngest DD but I just couldn't stop kissing her sweet little face and I was willing to risk infection.LOL

Aside from my WH now making the D I am going through more difficult and challenging me on money issues(even though I thought Mediation would work out)I am still looking forward to being on my own once and for all,away from the lying,cheating,selfish,hurtful person my WH has now become.I am handling things ok though.I have good friends advising me and I feel better about that.

But,I am blessed(Thank you God) that my DD's are healthy and safe and that I am healthy and with them.We have a roof over our heads( a nice one at that!) and food to eat.With all the chaos and hurtful people in the world,I do still feel fortunate. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Octobergirl,
How old is she? I am glad that you are happy and healthy. I hope that I can be in a place like you someday. I am trying to get my situation straight for my son. He deserves so much more than this bad enviorment.
Fox,
I do agree that is odd. Maybe she wants to know how you are feeling without having to actually talk to you. Maybe she doesnt want to seem like she's trying when she really is? I dont know what else to say?

cancergirl,

For 'stuff', read 'child'. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They make it all OK in the long run. My kids are such a comfort to me. It's great that you are putting your little one first in your life.
