Or, "I’d like someone else to do my killin’, thankyouverymuch."
One of the more disturbing discoveries I’ve made during The Great Declutter of ‘08 is the unmistakable evidence that we are not alone in the house. Yes, it looked like Mickey and Minnie were shacking up with us.
Like any self-respecting shame filled home-maker, I bought a [...]
Between services yesterday, WH took us aside and told us that his marriage has been dealt “fatal damage.” He has moved out of the house.
He asked for us to support his wife and assured us that he would be staying as part of the band/choir/congregation.
He didn’t go into details. It was neither the time nor [...]
Life certainly is a jumble of contradictions here these days!
In one breath, I’m bemoaning the consumerism of my birth family around the holidays and the fact that I really don’t want any more STUFF because I don’t want to be a pack rat. And don’t want to give any more STUFF and contribute to others’ [...]
This keeps coming up lately so it must be something I’m supposed to pay attention to.
I saw my therapist yesterday. First time in over a year. Not because I didn’t want (or need) to go in but because of financial reasons. Blah Blah Blah.
Not the point here. Can I focus, please?
OK. So aside from playing [...]
I’ve read and re-read yesterday’s post. And a few others. And done some thinking.
I guess you know it’s time to introduce him to other people in your life when you can’t remember why you weren’t. Right?

I have been separated for 3 years (come Oct 4).
I have been officially divorced for almost 1 year (come Oct 13.)
Is it weird that one of the first things my mom asked my sister when my sister returned from the hospital after my grandmother had been moved up to her room after surgery was “Does [...]
is [yet another] failure to communicate.
The boys were supposed to stay at X’s tonight. So they could get up early to go to N&M’s farm with X to mow.
I came home from the movie at 11:00 p.m. to find teenager shoes all over the entry way.
Apparently, X “forgot” that DS2 had a baseball game tomorrow [...]
I usually put these little road markers at the bottom of the day’s post. But this was a big day. This was the day that I learned X had finally gotten his own attorney. He had been served the papers 30 days before. He had waited until the last minute to respond. I didn’t know [...]
The cost of new glasses because yours broke while you weren’t wearing them during the play:$570.68

Being able to order and pay for your new glasses anyway, without using credit: Priceless
