1. Divorce Care -- Peanut and I went and had a great time. He was very excited after I picked him up from his class and told me that he wanted to continue going (this is after he told me that going to church on a Tuesday was a crazy idea). I think that the men's program is going to be invaluable to me as I continue to heal. I was given a work book with homework assignments. I have been doing my homework and it has been very helpful. Muffin stayed with our friend, The Good Doctor, and had a great time.
2. ShelfReliance Party -- The kids and I went to visit Merriweather at an Avon party for paranoid weirdos. I fit right in and had a terrific time. There were lots of kids there and they all ran up and down the stairs screaming at the tops of their lungs. It was the loudest party that I've ever been to with the exception of several during my college years. I don't remember most of those, so I can't tell you how loud or quiet those were. I'm thinking of signing up for the "Q". It works just like Netflix, except they send you survival foods and equipment instead of zombie movies.
3. Grocery store -- The kids were so well behaved and easy to manage. Peanut got all of the items off of the shelves for me and gave them to Muffin who put them in the cart. (Note that she was also in the cart).
4. Misc -- Mostly we just hung out and played dollhouse and batcave, lots of Mario Cart, watched lots of movies (mainly Peeps) and relaxed.
5. Neighbor's birthday party -- they had a big trampoline....Awesome! Enough said.
6. Mainly, we just enjoyed each other's company... I have the greatest kids in the world.
Thelma came back from New Mexico yesterday. It has been uncomfortable with her back in the house. We are just about done with our divorce decree document, so I would expect that matters will be finalized within the next couple of weeks. As much as I want all of this to be over, the finality and death of this relationship still saddens me. I feel sort of like Frodo as he struggled up the mountain alone after he parted ways with Sam and Golem fell of the cliff. It will be over soon, but I go on because I must. I have to.
That being said, I'm looking forward to the future and have made a list of all of the things that I want to do and experience as I heal. I've got trips planned, projects for the house and garden, fishing trips to take, time to share with my awesome kids and lots of personal time. In the mean time, I've got a new PS3 to keep me busy. It's good to have another world to descend into when I need an escape.
As a final thought, God is good and faithful and, even in this horrible situation, Blessed be His Name!
