I need to get my house and office in order. I think in doing that, I will feel better.
The only movie I want to see is Pride & Prejudice, but I don't know if my friends will be up to it on Friday night.
I'm just feeling blah lately. I know there are many others here who had their lives torn apart during the holidays, so I guess it hits them hard too. 6 days without seeing my kids is a long time for us.
My 6 YO called last night to say she lost her other front tooth, so she'll be toothless for Christmas this year. Thankfully, I had photos taken before she lost any.

Hi ladies. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I was away from my computer and just got back here now. I hope you all had good Thanksgivings or as good as they could be considering the multiple circumstances you all have going on.

newly- I know all too well the feeling you came to in your relationship. May this be the beginning of a whole new chapter in which you meet someone who fulfills all of your needs.

As for you XH, you are in my prayers. Unfortunately, I know all too well what you are going through here as well. Hopefully your XH's record will speak for itself and things will remain stable for your girls.

I spent the vacation away from my kids as well. To top it off, there was a lot of phone interference from the stepmother, so I hardly got to speak to them either. It was tough.


Any body have anything new and exciting happen? Sounds like we could use a pick me up?

Take care and God bless!

I had phone interference too this weekend. My X's demand for the entire weekend stemmed from his sister's visit - which never occurred. What a surprise.

My kids were with their dad at his request due to relatives being there as well. The difference is their's did come.

I despise phone interference! I know it is done out of insecurity and a need for control, but who are they really hurting here? In my case I would call and they would be gone so I would leave a message which wouldn't be returned so I would call back. I usually got the machine, but a couple of times I got the stepmother and she would say they weren't there, but would be home at such and such a time. I would call back then and get the machine. After three days of no contact I got the stepmother and she told me they were there, but were leaving in a while so they couldn't talk, but I could call back that night. I told her I would call back that night, but wasn't getting off the phone until I spoke to them. She put them on. Since it was a brief call I called back that night only to get the machine. UGH!!!!

You once told me to parent out of love not fear. I have really made that my motto and have come a long way because of it. If only I could get them to!

I wish you the best with your custody stuff. You are in my prayers.

Karona- Anything new in the dating world?

Letstry- How are things going with the divorce?

Take care and God bless!

Well, I was going to say no updates, and that pretty much is true, but, the guy that I went out with 1 time did call me last Weds and we talked, but that was it.
There was a guy I went out with 2X to which I thought it was best I didn't go out with him anymore because I was still stuck pretty hard on xbf, emailed me today. It was a joke, but I responded and told him that I hoped he and his daughter had a nice Thanksgiving. To which he replied, and me back again, and that was it.

That's all the excitement I have to share.

I can't really join in with the kids issue this time, as my Holiday went smoothly, but I will say I'm sorry for the two of you that you had to deal with the things you did.

I STILL have not spoken to new wife/ow. My girls did tell me the other day that their dad said he understands why I don't want to talk to her, but she would like to talk to me concerning the girls. My answer to that was, any questions she has, she can ask their father. I just don't see the need to talk to her. They are always with their dad, so why the need to converse??

I've been busy at work this week, but I finally have a small divorce update. One of my accountants called to let me know H's newly hired accountant was in her office asking to see the business tax returns and she needed my permission to give them to him. Apparently the new accountant hasn't met or even spoken to H, just to his lawyer, but at least he's doing his job. My hope is he and my accountant can settle the financial issues which are all that are standing between me and divorce.

Karona, How's dating going? Did the guy ever call back? Nice you haven't had to talk to W/OW... enjoy it as long as you can!

Newly, I really need to get my house and office in order too! Did you get it done? Are you feeling better?

Still, Anything new and exciting with you?

It's a step LT~and a good one! I'm hoping that the ball this does get the ball rolling for you and you can put all of this behind you.
Thanks for sharing. I honestly do think about you often.

No updates to share.

Hope everyone is doing well.
K!
