Sissy....

My concern would be his going out mia and then not remembering where he has been....that sounds like someone that has a drinking problem...what is his theory on his responsibilities to the motel and his family? 

  

I dealt with the drinking at one time...I was blamed for everything...the reason he didn't want to come home was that I didn't do enough around the house, I was followed constantly..the light finally went on that I did all the stuff around the house, paid the bills and worked more hours than him... 

  

You need to make a point that this is not Kosher with you..then depending on his response you have to decide what to do...if it's worth staying or not...I know that is the worst thing to do..I was thankful we didn't have children together, I took care of his children and that made it hard enough to leave!! He needs to grow up and deal with his responsiblities... 

  

Oh another guy gone wrong..what is with them lately...they have all been on my top 10 lately...I think my boss has been running from me lately even!!! LOL  I am on the warpath...LOL...and there is no PMS involved....LOL

You have a good attitude.  Sometimes we have to experience these things in life to learn the lessons.  They are hard lessons to learn, but in the end, they are worth it.

I am off for the night

Dh is due home soon. I have dinner in the oven and I want to get a few things done before he arrives. I hate to do anything once he gets home, he needs his down time and I don't think the vacuum running in his ear is much of down time. 

 

Everyone have a great night. 

 

Hugs, Tracy

Thanks for the compliment....I know I sound crass and harsh sometime...guess I am that way sometimes from what I have seen.... 

  

I just get so sad when I hear this stuff....I have never married..part is the statistics of the marriage ending not worth it....it's really sad in this day and age... 

I figure I will grow old with a lot of cats..LOL...at least I can quit shaving my legs then...LOL

A Quick "HI"

Hey Gang, 

  

I am feeling completely overwhelmed with life in general right now.  I actually called in sick today . .more like a mental health day.  There's just alot of things that seem to be piling up lately and it has thrown me completely off track in every way. 

  

Tracy, I did walk with "Leslie" yesterday and today.  Today, I ate right on plan and took the time to plan out my meals for the next 5 days, something I had not done in the past five days that I had been so good about doing, and I made sure to drink all of my water.  It's really a vicious cycle when you feel things sliding and then start feeling guilty for allowing it to happen.  I won't let that happen and I know I have all of you here to hold me to that promise! 

  

If it wasn't for needing this one last credit from the online class, I would cut my losses and drop the class, but then I'd have to pay for it!  As it is, my school district pays for it, unless I don't pass or drop it.  This instructor is just unreasonable. She expects us to put 15 hours per week into her class alone, never mind our full-time job and the other class I'm taking.  She gives us 3 times the work our other teacher does to make sure, we'll use the entire 15 hours.  I've just never had an instructor who was so unreasonable. 

  

Must get off now and get hold of DD and see how she made out today.  She had two big exams yesterday and was to have her car checked out today.   

  

The good news is we had over 135 trick or treaters and, so, all the candy is gone!  We had to turn our lights out because we were down to 3 treat bags and the kids were coming in groups of 4 or more.  DS & DIL finished off the last of the candy. 

  

Jeannie, thanks for missing me and Sharon & Tracy, thanks for the push toward IE!  I've told others to do it and now I will do the same, "just keep putting one foot ahead of the other"!! 

  

(((HUGS)))

You are too funny - maybe we will all come and help you braid that hair on your legs - you can start a new fashion trend!   LOL! 

 

On the serious side, I know that sometimes I sound harsh too.  My first marriage was a joke!  And I'm sure he would agree with that statment.  That said, don't give up completely - when it's right, there are absolutely no doubts.  My Bob is my hero, my teacher, and my friend - in short, he's my prince.  There has never been a question in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.   

 

However, living out your days with lots of cats isn't all that bad!  

 

Hugs, 

 

Sharon

You will get through this class - I know it.  Keep telling yourself that it's only ??? more weeks left and it will be over and over for good!  Chin up, my friend! 

 

Glad you took a mental health day - you needed the time to destress.  And, I know that the exercise, eating right, drinking your water, and planning the meals ahead helps relieve a little of that stress.   

 

Hugs,
