So I wake up at 6am this morning and had a wild hair to do some serious housework AT SIX AM! So I got in to it and tackled the amin areas of the hosue and got them looking nice and neat. Didnt take long and made me have no guilt in spending the rest of the day doing fun stuff.

So Mom and I went out for a bit and ran some errands, then at noon I went to my counseling session. That went well. I am amazed sometimes at the progress, the real tangible progress, that I have made over the last year of really putting out effort to become the best me I can be. It's pretty cool to look at thoughts and actions and see how much more mature my behavior is than it was just a year ago. Going to go ahead and give myself a pat on the back because I do deserve it and one of hte things I am working on is validating my own successes instead of critisizing myself for not being perfect...

So after my appointment I sat for a bit with Johnny. He is on a geneology kick at the moment. It is cool to see him get excited about finding stuff abut his family. He has also got me interested in doing some more with my family geneology. My grandmother was really into geneology so I have a substantial amount of info to start with. It is just a matter of sitting down and doing it.

So after spending time with Johnny I was off to get the girls from school. Go to the bank, go to the store, get home fix some food, go over some homework and then it was time for soccer...

My Ex was at the soccer game. It was a bit frustrating dealing with him. DD's coach judged the kids senior projects over at the high school. She was telling us about it... (for info about senior projects check out http://www.seniorproject.net/certif.php  So anyway my Ex asks the coach what exactly is a senior project... I got SO frusrated with the man at that moment...

So I told him. He completely ignored me and said something to the coach about our son having done his project in his Junior year... No that is the Junior Project.. totally different... so I tell him that. He looks at me and says "So what makes you an expert?" ARGGGG I wanted to SLAP HIM! OK I know violence gets you know where except maybe a few nights in the county jail... but he is such an idiot sometimes... like I told him, I have two older children who have already been through it so I know what it is all about. AND HELLO even if I didn't, knowing that my son was going to have to do it I would have researched it...

Oh well... can't change stupid unless stupid wants to change... I know this is one of those things that I am just going to have to let go and let God because I can't change the man. I remind myself when he has moments like these... this is a friendly reminder from your memory data base THIS IS THE REASON YOU DIVORCED HIM! Speaking of divorce... friday will be 12 years since I filed for my divorce from him. Only another 63 months and and 23 days of having to deal with him on a regular basis... then I'll just have to deal with him on special occasions like college graduations, weddings, grandbabes births and the like... YAY the END is in SIGHT!!!

So after soccer it was back home where I got the baby ready for bed, read a book to her, got Johnny up and offto work and then at 10pm finally some quiet down time...

So now it is almost midnight... I am tired so I think I will wish you all a wonderful night and go settle myself into a pair of comfy jammies, grab a cup of tea, and snuggle down in between my flannel sheets and drift off to dream land.

Good Night Dear Readers!
