Hey folks,
I've had a totally uneventful day so far and am attempting to decide what so and I are going to do. I am worried about the aquarium thing unless we just go for the whole day b/c of the whole "divorce and kid being over the state line" issue. It is our state law that both parents must agree in order to take a child over state lines, even if it's barely over it by 15-20 miles.
Anyway, we are watching Ichabod and Mr. Toad, a wonderful very old Disney movie. He is eating ravioli and I am typing here.
We're thinking about heading out, that is if the weather holds, to a greenbelt in Alpharetta so he can ride his bike and I can walk.My friends want me to go out tonight, but I am just so exhausted. Plus, this is my weekend, so I can't stay out late. Thinking of staying in, doing stuff around the house and maybe going to stone mountain park tomorrow, or to the aquarium/rock city thing just for the whole day. Not sure. Need lots of work here at home today.
So tell me what you guys do on holidays? I am guilty, I guess of attempting to cram in as much as possible so we can have fun. Feel robbed, even though I am primary. Why? Because he gets our son every other weekend and one night durin the off week. I have to make accomodations for his father and am sick and dad gum tired of being a single mom. Heard via a friend today that a huge church singles group is in panama city FL this weekend and am wondering if he is there? WH was in Destin on Memorial Day and this church group was staying at same hotel. Hmmm. would be good hunting ground for him...
Decided I am going to stay in tonight and today. Go to the greenbelt, do laundry, mop floors, clean up a bit and then think about tomorrow. Ok. Here goes..Give me some input..Should I go to Chattanooga for the day? It's about 2 1/2 hours away. We could leave at 8 am. The aquarium opens at 10. We could stay until 1 or 2 then go to the see rock city thing. Stay there until close and then drive back home. Leave about 7 and get home about 10 or so. Do you guys think it would be way too hard to do?
I was so hyped yesterday about going out with the girls and today I wake up and feel like I've been run over by a mack truck. What is up with me?
Have any of you guys lost motivation to well, even the usual day to day stuff? I am like this all of the time. Maybe because I am exhausted; maybe I am somewhat depressed still. Probably a little of both. Because I don't have family here or a whole ton of friends, I hate the holidays. I cannot bear to imagine Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year without my family or my friends back home. Last year was horrible enough even being back home briefly with them, but this year is going to s*ck...
Orchid, thank you so much! I am glad he's finally doing much better. You are the MB champ girl...I miss ya terribly and will attempt to find your phone # in my old daytimer from last year. Wish my outcome was one of the good ones, but it is not.
Oh, and I haven't heard from WH since the other day when he emailed me briefly. He is definitely on vacation somewhere. It must be nice to live like Austin Powers. He's got it soooo good. Living in a new city where nobody knows his past, free to move about chasing skirts incognito, driving his mbw, and saying, should anyone ask, that he had to deal with a "crazy wife" or that he is "already divorced". Several months back I found an internet dating site that one of my friends logged onto. He had taken out an ad complete with pics. He described himself as a very successful businessman making over 150k and enjoyed travelling to the finest resorts. Then he went on to say that he was a great father, had a great relatonship with his family. Oh, yea, at the top of his description it listed his status. His said DIVORCED. Just one of the many revelations I have had to discover. So many d days that I have lost count now.
So what did I do? Orchid, you'll love this one. First had friend overnight the ad to my attorney. We were filed for at least 4 months at this point. Then my sister and bro. in law took my pic and they wrote a very sweet description complete with "separated" and submitted it. It took a while for him to find it, but when he did, he went ballistic. I said, "how does it feel? At least I was honest." This could be an entire other topic basically. But, that is how he is. Had fun though. It is still so amazing.
Guess I just don't really want to date now. I fee like I should wear a t shirt saying "danger--jilted woman". I don't think I'll be good dating material for anyone for some time. I want to go places, have someone show me compassion, have great conversations, feel attractive, feel that old jittery thing come back, but I don't think I deep down want it to and worry it never will.
As Bridget says in movie "Bridget Jones", "I will be an old spinster found eaten by dogs". That's a great movie and I watch it at least once a month. Great d scene where she busts Hugh Grant and a skinny model ho chick. Sounds so familiar to me...That movie speaks volumes to both men and women victims of cheating. She falls in love with a nice lawyer and later finds out that her x playboy boyfriend, Hugh Grant, slept with her lawyer boyfriend's x wife and was cause of their divorce. Gee, even this movie shows how adultery causes divorce. Anyone bored can watch it.
This morning we watched "Lord of the Rings". It is classic good vs. evil. That always feels good. We need to see more of it.
Ok, rambled enough. I am signing off and checking on you guys. Have a good day.
