Congrats!! That's huge. Nothing like stability for you and your kids!! Something the MLC'ers can't provide !

Today I successfully connected up the TV to the surround system - no H input required :-)  (He would have loved to 'fix it'!)
Strike one for the girls!!

[Slow Fade]

I stood up to my H and told him to stop trying to make plans with his 10 year old son without consulting with me first. That s10 is NOT a teenager with his own car, does not make the decisions around the house and cannot be expected to pass along the pertinent information or ask the proper questions regarding the visitation schedules! I told him when he wanted to see his son, he needed to coordinate it with me first, and s10 second! Yay me!

You should have seen the look on his face. It was all

I sang at a concert I had been dreading because it was always something H and I did every year, I was dreading people asking me where he was etc...
But nobody did!
However I sang my duets with someone else and it was ok - didn't feel so odd after all.
I also had so many and I mean, many compliments on how slim I was and one couple thought I was "stunning" to look at and those who do know what H has done said that H was a complete and utter fool etc....

That mountain has been climbed - much better than yesterday's disaster. Need to keep busy though so I keep climbing and yes I do sing Climb Every Mountain as one of my party pieces!!!!!!

Well done Songanddance. Glad all went well for you. Often what we fear does not transpire!

I went shopping with my girls and tried on everything they wanted me to.  I bought two shirts, v-neck (first for me), and a size smaller than I normally do.  No more baggy clothes!

I trusted enough to get on a table for another adjustment to my neck

I took the girls medical cards to the Lawyer so the former MLcer can take responsiblty for them living with him

I deal honestly and openly with people whether I trust them or not.

I stopped on the street to visit with a friends uncle on the way to the post office.

I stopped at the church garden to pick a few more tomatoes

Until I KNOW if I'm back in business: I received an email from an association I joined to vote on a mission statement defining themselves. I'm not voting because I don't belong as a member - JUST YET.

I called on a possible refinance on the apt most due to the interest rate not the balance..but due to no job record in the past couple of years I can't do that.
 BUT it made me feel good to make the attempt. I knew that was probably the case but It was nice to report a credit score that was still above average even with a couple of missed payments.

Posting on here made me proud to be part of this thread!

Love this thread!!! 

I am only part way through today and am at work finishing off a report that is due on Friday. 

Yesterday I...

took care of the garbage, recycling and cans/bottles (usually my H's job)
took my twins out for dinner at a local sushi restaurant and they made ME proud!!!
facilitated a meeting rather successfully
went to sleep with a smile on my face despite missing my H's phone call due to blow drying my D's hair

Nothing earth shattering but I am managing to get things done.

what a wonderful thread! Love reading about everyone's day and all the awesome things the LBS gets up to!

As some of you may know, I am in the midst of packing up a three bedroom house by myself, with no help from H, while also selling loads of stuff to finance the move as H has not put his hand in his pocket once to help me!

So today I managed to sell the not quite working right treadmill! Cute guy came and we had a chat about it over a cup of tea, he tinkered with it for awhile, and then hauled it away!!

I have arranged someone to come and take away old books and bookcase (I still have two), sold boxes of junk to someone to car boot, packed up the lounge, and boxes for H. Chatted with H, after screaming down the phone at him. Took a pic of me with wedding veil on, posted on ebay to sell. I have my memories, I don't need it anymore.
