Today is the seven year anniversary of my divorce. I tend to look at today as the day my Do-Over began, a happy day, a day of freedom.
YIPPEE! Seven years. WOO HOO!
Happy Anniversary to me!
You know, I didn’t always see this day as a happy day. My view has changed over the past […]
Ex-husband called the house yesterday to speak with the kids. He asked 13 yr old son to hand the phone to 14 yr old daughter at the end of the first phone call and she hung up the phone without speaking to him. She’s not spoken to him much for over a year because […]
My apologies. The title is not a reference to a beverage. It’s a reference to my state of mind for much of today.
I don’t often feel belittled or so angry that I’m visibly shaking, but today I did. This morning when I was at work, the lovely ex-husband sent me a text […]
My kids saw their dad today. Well, two of them did. Oldest daughter decided she didn’t want to see him, so she stayed in her room. It was their first visit with him since mid-December 2007. They saw him less than 4 hours. 6:30pm to 10:00pm.
I’m disgusted, but will refrain from saying more right now.
I got this in an email and wanted to share in case any of you could use the information:

are coming. I like change sometimes. At other times I am change resistant.
Right now, I’m feeling change resistant and a little nervous.

For the past few years, I have forgotten ex-husband’s birthday. A few days later, I’d realize that I’d forgotten and feel so happy that the day hadn’t mattered enough to remember it, thinking that I’d grown so much emotionally and had healed. Now I’m not so sure that’s what it was.
When […]

I read this post over at The DHX and started thinking about what I did specifically to change how I thought about my children’s stepmom. I never told her or ex-husband what I was doing, but the communication and feelings between us changed a lot (or my perception did, at least) when I changed.

The Barnes and Noble Meet the Writers podcast with Steve Bertrand is one of my favorite podcasts. Recently, I listened to an interview with Steve Cojocaru. He’s recently written Glamour, Interruped. In the interview, Steve Cojocaru spoke about his diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease, his career, and his outlook on life.
