Hi all...

I got back into town tonight and all things considered, my trip was successful... The schools in NJ and MD went well and I enjoyed a pleasant trip between the two schools last Wed, great food, drinks and time with friends from work that I don't get to see but a couple of times a year... in addition, I got to spend the weekend with some old family friends that I hadn't seen in a couple of years...

It was funny, because as it was bound to, talk of xh came up with the old family friends... they could not believe a lot of the recent behavior (not seeing Joey, being so behind on child support, etc), when they thought back to when they first met him and saw us and were so impressed by him and weren't at all surprised when they heard of our engagement... she said the love that she saw between us was real, etc and it was good to hear that... one of the things xh did during the separation was go through it all and say that he never loved me, which of course, made me wonder if I was blind or just plain stupid... I can understand that feelings can change (and they obviously have), but to say they were never there was hurtful and it was good to hear that it was evident to others that it was there at one time, if you know what I mean...

Joey's excited I'm home... I'm getting a lot of the You're not going away for a long time again mommy speeches and that sort of thing... xh did manage to come into town this weekend, so he's had the weekend with him and is now beyond tickled to see me... (hopefully will ease the transition of xh not being here)... I'm exhausted and really need to take a day to recover... but we're off to FL on Saturday for Spring Training, Kennedy Space Center and Sea World, so I don't have much time to rest up...

*hugs*

Sounds like fun.... even if it's "exhausting".


I'm glad that the weekend went well :-)

Wooo, what a whirlwind!

So all in all, it sounds like Joey's visit with his father went OK, which is a relief.

I'm glad that your friends could testify to the fact that you did, in fact, share real love with your ex, regardless of what he says. Sometimes, we just need to hear it from a third party to make it "real."

Welcome home!
