It is my birthday...and it has been great!! - 10/01/03 11:18 PM
First of all, I just want to thank everyone for your posts, concern and help--especially recently.
I have been so busy with school and all the kids activities...I don't get much time to get on...and I fall in bed exhausted every night.
School is going pretty well...hectic as usual. I have great kids this year tho. Then I get home to my own kids and between homework, soccer, boyfriend problems and open houses (grrr.....I have been to 3 this week), I am dead.
Bimbo and Jimbo are still getting married next week in Florida of all places. He still hasn't paid any child support--I am still working on that. I had to borrow money from my brother to get me through this month. Don't know what I will do next month.
Last weekend, we had 7 soccer games up in KC...ridiculous, I know. Jimbo was at my son's games. My son went to his game on Saturday with my friend because my daughter's games were on the other side of the city. Jimbo happened to park next to my friend's car...and I guess he was pretty upset when he realized that my son was with him. On Sunday, he went to my daughter's games--bimbo wasn't there--a first. He couldn't have been nicer to me--which I should have seen as a red flag. He called me about 5 times that day on my cell phone, brought me a chair to sit on at the game...etc. Weird.
On Monday, I was exhausted...didn't get home from work until 5:45--I sat down to open bills and such and found what I thought looked like a letter. It had a typed label with my name on it. So, I opened it up. It was a letter supposedly written by a concerned friend who had recently spoken to my ex. This concerned friend didn't want to sign his name because he didn't want me to get angry. Then this person proceeded to lamblast my character, the way I am raising the kids, my relationship with my friend, my kids' welfare..etc. etc.
At first, I thought someone might have actually written it--and I was really hurt. Then I realized because of what he wrote on a couple of things about my kids--that my ex wrote it--he was trying to hurt me psychologically. I am still amazed that he would stoop so low. It is really sad. He is upset because the kids can't go to the wedding next week, they don't want to go--and schedule wise, they can't. He had no business scheduling it in Florida anyway. Plus, he didn't even consider their schedules at this time of year...always still about him.
That letter tho was amazing...no return address, no names, just character assassination. I never thought I would be here a few years ago.
Oh well, I just keep plugging along. On a brighter note...I had a really nice birthday today. My kids at home and school have been great. I got flowers from my friend and from my kids--and tonight, I get a few minutes to myself--while the kids are getting dinner together. It is great.
I have been reading tonight about a lot of the updates from some of "us" oldies... You are an amazing group of strong, loving people. I really hope we all start seeing some improvement in our lives in the near future. I truely appreciate all of your friendships and support you have given me over the past 2 years. This site is really a Godsend. Thanks everyone!! Pat
