Re: OT: update

OK- I jsut got to laugh. I love that saying and boy is your "south" showing. I'll have to remember that one "I wouldn't spit on him if he were on fire"! Thanks for the humor break on a day I needed it!

and keep busy lady.

YES. When I was going through the pre-divorce, divorce and "after-shock"
of divorce, pulling those weeds by hand was WONDERFUL therapy. I just
pictured his head being ripped of every time one of those came out of
the ground. Then I would just laugh. I got it out of my system and was
productive all at the same time. A total win/win situation! LOL.

My ex was a b*tt. He new I loved my gardens, and he would go outside to
smoke (I wouldn't let him smoke in the house around the children) and
then he would throw his cigarette butts in my gardens. Totally rude. So,
my gardens became "butt free" after that! Life was good.

You've got a point, Cyndi. Hand-weeding may be the best therapy there
is. Especially if it is done on a hot day when you can sweat and curse
both the weeds and the weather in the same breath.

Hang in there...hand weeding is always therapeutic too...you know that
nice ripping sound they make when they come out of the ground?

Thanks for the support Donna- yep, definitely riding the wave
emotions.... Still know I'm doing the right this. We should be
getting
the house appraised on Saturday- this will move things forward
relatively quickly- provided the number is one the we both can agree
on.

I'm not too worried about replacing stuff- we had too much junk in
the house anyway. I did clean up the floor in my office, stored stuff
in the closet of his old office, and over the weekend got my dad's old
table out of my garage and set it up in the kitchen area. I also moved
an old chair of mine out of his old office into the living room. So,
aside from his old office looking weird with no furniture- everything
is
fairly well pieced together. I want to repaint that room anyway- so
once
I pick out a paint color and get it on the walls, then I'll worry about
what else to move in there to make it my own.

Holding up ok Theresa? Having been there, I still remember all the

Dont worry about replacing all the things he took right away. Some of
my fondest memories are of the times things were not perfect but
improvised with friends.


Although most of my family is gone now, I still remember the times
they surprised me- like when I moved into my house years ago.... they
all came along with friends - on the DAY I moved in... Panic set in
thinking geesh, only got a 6 pack of pop and case of beer in the
fridge.... but they brought it all- food, plates, drinks, folding
chairs and we partied all night..... and as my uncle said- you never
clean before a party cause someone is gonna spill something, so do it

afterwards.

You are too funny! I'm heading over the Cost Plus World Market in
another hour or so to buy some chairs. I have a table that will do
for now, but eventually I'll need one of those too.

I made snow angels in the carpet when my ex finally moved out. I
kissed all the walls, danced in my empty house (because he took all
but the children's furniture), and ate dinner on the floor, picnic
style. It was a huge relief for me.

Ahhh... the awkward moments of separation. Not my favorite time.
They seem oddly embarrassing for some reason, and only about halfway
final at any given interval. Both of mine were filled with spates of
doubt and second-guessing. Hang in there. The need to rearrange the
furniture abates after awhile and the instant hollowness of not
having familiar ears to listen to you bitch gets filled with the
sound you've been trying to make for sometime.

Hi all-
I have cherry tomatoes galore right now, and eventually I'll get
outside and pick some. My ex moved out of the house today and has
most everything. He'll need to come back tomorrow for odds and ends,
and eventually we'll need to sort through the garage, but that can
wait until later. So far, everything has been OK. I'm really happy
today is over, the last couple days have just been really awkward.
So- I've been on a major cleaning binge for much of the afternoon-
but now I'm tired and just need to take a shower myself. Tomorrow I
can clean more and maybe start organizing some stuff. (my office is
one giant pile of stuff that needed to be moved to get to other
stuff!)
