Hey Chai, I gave you a ring earlier this afternoon. My friend felt the need to unleash her frustration in life on me by telling me Plan B was stupid and that if I wanted my H back I needed to contact him.

She hit quite a nerve and the do something came alive. Oh yes, you are probably thinking I went for it. NOPE.....

What I did was call his aunt and check in with her. She helped me see some stuff and said give it time. G-d has his plan.

I don't know what the motivation of frustration and anger from my friend was, but I certainly wasn't going to become a part of it. I prayed for her and asked G-d to give her what she needs.

Still no money from the state on garnishment. WH's company didn't pay last month, so on Apr 1st I called. She said to give it a few days, so we shall see. I really hate the broke part, but oh well. This too shall pass.

Hi Queenie, Lil suggested that I read your thread, I am sorry that you are hurting, you are an inspiration.

Mark, Zen are also strong holds. I only hope that I can give as much as you.

Take care, and hold on!!!!

I am sorry you have not rec'd funds to help you and the kids. My heart goes out to you and I wish I could be right there next to you.

I am not sure what made your friend come at you like that. But you did a great thing and not get caught up in it.

Stay strong.

Count me in on that one. Oh, nevermind. I forgot that I had all of that "hidden" money. Queenie, Cinder, when I remember where I hid it, I'll send some to both of you.

These days I'm so broke I can't even pay attention...

Chai, hug
Don't try too hard to figure it out. Just chalk it up to him being the south end of a north-bound Clydesdale.

(Remember that a Clydesdale is a BIG horse...

Well....Well.... well.....

This has been quite a day. Oh yes, beyond belief...

Who is sitting down.

Guess who showed up at the game tonight. OH YES.... You got it.

And he was different. I walked up to him and immediately he complimented me on my glasses. I nearly fell over. He was so talkative.

It was NOTHING like I thought it would be. It was so calm and natural. I didn't feel like I needed to do or say anything. I kept thanking G-d over and over while I stood next to him. We spoke about each child, laughed about their antics.

I didn't offer to much, he was the one who kept bringing up stuff. He mentioned about passover, which meant he saw me in the store and I asked him if he saw the price of matzah this year. He said no, that he couldn't afford it. I told him me either, that I was using the matzah I had from last year.

Then he said, "I take it from the letter that you aren't getting money". I just smiled at him and shook my head graciously. He told me he would talk to his boss. He didn't understand why I wasn't getting my money because they were taking it out of his check. Will see what he does. Don't know.

I'm not reading anything into anything. It was just light and easy and I am so grateful for that.

I spoked to his aunt this afternoon. Funny she told me that if I ever talked to him to pass her love onto him. I did.

I was Queenie tonight. I didn't fix, control or do anything. I just was a woman of G-d standing near her husband and sending him my love through my thoughts.

Amen to G-d.

Hi Sunshine, Lil, she is one of the most important people in my life. I'll have to read up on your thread.

Thank you for stopping by.

No, being broke isn't fun, but I would say at least I have a job and my bills just will get paid though late. There are a lot more people hurting than me so I consider myself lucky and all good things come in G-ds time.

I hope to get to know you Sunshine..... And tell Lil... I love her.

Oh my, he is posting back and forth to me on facebook through my daughters post. I wrote to her about the game tonight and that her brother had a goal. He corrected me and said it was two... actually it wasn't, but I added he had an assist and he said, yes and I have pictures of them.

Wow......

Hi Queenie, it was a quiet Saturday night and I am catching up on your post.

Baby steps, toddle, fall, climb back up. You are an inspiration to me. I feel your strength, your faith in God, your goddess-ness.

Last time I read your sitch your H had broken up with crack ho. Much has passed. This is a journey and you are walking in God's steps.

take care of yourself.

Come on over! The kids are in bed, my H is away, and I'm wide awake watching Sex And The City. Your company would be more than welcome.

I'm no expert in Plan B, Queenie. Heck. I'm no expert in good marriages either. (Duh!) I don't know if my advice is any good. My unqualified opinion is to appreciate that your H was kind and that it was a good day for your daughter. Take it for what it was and if it makes you smile, then do so. You most certainly deserve it. But do not change what you are doing. Do not change your plan. One day of kindness does not means things have changed. It simply means that today he was nice.

And the experts will be on their way to guide you further.

If you want to talk, you can call me. Anytime.

What He has already done would have been enough, but He isn't done working yet...
And what he gave me tonight, was a gift that I am so grateful for.

And I believe you that he isn't done yet.

Thank you Mark...

Happy Pesach to you as well. smile

Hi Looking,

I have my phone charging. How late will you bet up? The boys are awake and I would like to keep this evening on the quiet.

What surprised me is how in touch he seems to be in our life. He knows where OS is playing his game, he listens intently....

Oh well, I'm grateful for this and that's all it is.... one day of him being nice.

Queenie,

God is working for you. You are walking the path.



You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

You have my cell number and my phone is right next to me. I'll probably be up until 1:00. I took my "keep you awake" meds later than I'm supposed to. If you wanna call, I'm here. If you don't, I'll think nothing of it other than you found the sweet comfort of slumber.

Peace, my friend.
