I got another letter from the A from jail (they are getting more and more frequent now that he's getting out in 3 weeks). He wants to see the kids, he has no place to go, he doesn't know what he's going to do, a few guilt trips about sleeping on the church steps, that girl didn't mean anything to him, etc. and I was thinking today I wonder if she knew that when he was screwing her and when he shattered her leg in the car accident? It was a kind of isn't that so nice and sweet thought like what an ahole! Is that supposed to somehow make me feel better? That he did all that AND didn't even care about her to begin with? I think I would have felt better knowing that he did care and felt bad about it. What an idiot!
Today... Slept in... Went thrift store shopping... Saw The Brave One (it was good)... Ate lunch at the Mexican restaurant (it was good too ;).... Went to the beach to get sand to set my candles in... Bought a dresser for my daughter (we haven't had any in 2 years)...
Tomorrow... Picking up new furniture, a gift from a relative stranger... Taking the kids to see Dragon Wars (will report later)... Going with a friend to look for a new car for her in Myrtle Beach (and probably shopping)...
On the side... Cleaning :( Listing on Ebay :| Swimming at the Pool :) Possibly picking up 2 twin beds, another gift from a stranger :D
It's funny how much busier I am now than I was a year ago when I first started out here, AND I have more friends, people are helping me or maybe I'm helping myself more, my quality of life has improved 200%.
Sounds like you ARE having a wonderful weekend indeed!
What Bump said is so true for me too, when I started to Let Go of all the stuff I tried to control life started changing so much for the better. And I have received so many blessings in my life since I have become receptive to them.
