Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:03:04 +0100 stiimpee's entry on 06/09/2008 04:01 http://dailystrength.org/people/32380/journal/1110536 Sooooo stupid... that's it, plain and simple.  Saturday my ex and I talked for almost on hour on the phone.  Why?  About our oldest and how he is struggling with his anger and hurt over the whole divorce.  However much of the conversation was my ex complaining about his life,...

I'm not making any m...

Tue, 27 May 2008 14:26:53 +0100 stiimpee's entry on 05/24/2008 09:39 http://dailystrength.org/people/32380/journal/1074784 Well haven't heard from Mr. Tru-Green Lawn Mower man in a few days and I have mixed feelings on it.  Kind of wonder why I haven't heard from him when he said he'd be here to mow the lawn today, but I am actually feeling relieved and happy that he isn't.  It's a beautifu...

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:20:47 +0100 stiimpee's entry on 05/07/2008 11:36 http://dailystrength.org/people/32380/journal/1035051 Just a quick one as I am frustrated and using this forum to vent.  Why are all exes so passive/aggressive?  One minute he is talking down to me, biting my head off or just acting like I'm an idiot.  An hour later he's sending me a text that he's going to change the oil on ... Wed, 07 May 2008 11:36:13 +0100 stiimpee's entry on 04/28/2008 03:42 http://dailystrength.org/people/32380/journal/1013723 Okay, so now I see why so many of you just get annoyed by your stbx.  I've been annoyed by mine since last week because of one simple sentence that was blurted out:  Welcome to my world!   Here's the story:  Last week my oldest had baseball and a school function all ...

BUT, the kids are coming home today so that has uplifted my spirits.  I didn't get much rest and relaxation cause I kept thinking of the things I could get done while they were gone so that when they returned I could hang out and be with them instead of dishes, laundry an...
