I would love to have a separate post from everyone, telling me what they did this weekend, etc, to start knocking my depressing posts to the bottom. LOL I can't stand seeing them anymore!
Stuff like: Did you go out?
Where?
Meet a guy, go out with a guy or what did you do with your hubby or boyfriend?
What about the kids, what did they do? With you or without?
Then the real nosey stuff:
Did you get along with your SO?
Did you talk about something special?
Did you have fun?
Or were you missing something this weekend?
I had a real relaxing time. Did therapeutic talk with West and First, if you read the thread. Watched movies, Alex had a friend spend the night so stayed home both Fri and Sat. Could of gone out, but just didn't have the money or the heart. Weather was crap, snow, ice, snow, ice. I hate the cold, so I rather stay in any day when it's snowing, with a movie and a blanket. So I did. Slept in. My hair has serious build up and is a mess so did that. Wrote some penpals. Kind of got a little bored. Not used to NO ACTION, but suddenly I just feel so much more relaxed. I did the same thing last weekend. I am just not in the mood for the first time in years. Even my mom is commenting, about the alone time I have.
Oh yeah, I did have a date for Fri, but it was cancelled because of the snow storm. Thank goodness. Not anthing worth mentioning, just a guy I know.

Stuff like: Did you go out?
Yes, after church in the evening there was another Mexican Birthday party.
Where?
At a friend's apartment
Meet a guy, go out with a guy or what did you do with your hubby or boyfriend?
Went with the group.
Let's see....
Well Friday night I can't honestly remember. Why? Why can't I remember? Hmmm....
Saturday morning, woke up with J very pleasantly (and a little earlier than we wanted to, as we had plans) and teased a little, but no sex (not enough time. He could have, but I didn't really want to yet...) and then flirted our way through getting ready for the day (I LOVE days like that) and then we headed out to meet our realtor in the beautiful snow fall. Looked at about 10 houses and just had fun. Ty came with and he was great. He got a HUGE kick out of touring peoples homes and didn't care about the houses so much as the stuff IN them and the backyards which he thoroughly inspected.
We found one we REALLY liked, a couple with potential AFTER some or a lot of updating and a few real arm pits, to put it nicely.
Then home, made a few phone calls and then back out again (the 3 of us) because I was craving chinese. And I should have stuck to something tried and true, because we went to a buffett so Jas could try some different things. And it was quite frankly the worst, most horrible chinese food I've EVER had. I coudn't even hardly eat. What a waste of money.
Then home, where I took a TWO AND A HALF hour nap. This pregnancy is kicking my butt! LOL
Then I woke up and joined J in the living room. We got a call from Ty who was at a buddies house and he asked if he could stay for dinner. Once we'd established that Ty would be gone a while, ran to the bedroom for a quick roll around in the bed. ;)
Then, I went to dinner with my mom, and had a nice visit. Came home during one of our bigger snow falls of the year. When I got home, promptly lost the contents of my stomach (waste of money, paying for dinner out just to throw it all back up!) and was sick for most of the rest of the night. Finally fell asleep around 3 am.
Went to church, babysat babies in the nursery. Then home and I didn't leave again. My sister came to visit for a while, Ty and I baked some goodies and played a game together (I tried to teach him Clue. He didn't get the strategy, but oh well) Made dinner. Took a relaxing bath. Did some laundry. Then bed and here I am....
Detailed enough for you? :)
Edited to add:
Then the real nosey stuff:
Did you get along with your SO?
My bf came over Friday and stayed most of Saturday. DD had a huge 'I am not transitioning well between households this week and I can't verbalize that' fit for 1/2 of Saturday (she goes back and forth between homes each week, switching on Fridays). She always tries hard, but she was so cranky and just was not okay with anything. Then I told her she could not shower with her bathing suit on (last weekend her dad let her play in the snow for 15 minutes and then take a long hot shower, and I think he said she did this 4 times in one day). Usually she gets there are different rules at each house, and normally transitions fine back and forth, but Saturday was the exception. Then after her shower (sans the suit) we 'agreed' to start having a better day. We played some games and my bf tought us how to play go-fish (you would think I would know that), and how to correctly play another game I had just bought her (I apparently read the directions wrong). DD was telling my bf he was wrong, you play 'this way' and I realized my way made no sense, and my bf's way worked a lot better :)
Saturday afternoon, as is our tradition, we went to the Whole Foods. We get something from the deli or the salad bar (this week I got a crab cake, dd got stuffed shells). We eat, then we shop. I knew I needed detergent and face soap and other non-regular items, so I had set aside $150 instead of $100 for this weeks groceries. We bought so much I was sure I was way over budget... but it range up to $149 and change! Wooohooo.
Sunday we went to a new church. It was a good service, and very close by. My ex asked at our old church and this one came recommended. I have never been to a church that had a good service AND cushioned pews. I think we'll stick with this one. The person in charge of handing out introduction bags (isn't that so nice?) said, so we'll see you next week? I said probably in two weeks. Is it horrible of me to go every other week, since I only have dd with me every other week? I really don't feel like going by myself, although I suppose I could. Half the time I'm at my bf's though, and it's too far away. Even if I'm at home, I can't see pulling myself out of bed to go alone.
Sunday afternoon we went to the book store (a rare thing for me, but my mom recommended a book that I think I want to own) and got me a book and dd a book and some activity/coloring books too. Then we went to the pet store just to look. Somehow I feel pets are too much responsibility for me right now. Even a fish seems like too much. Then we got a car wash. Boy did we need it! Today I was driving to work, looking at all the yucky dirty cars (from snow) and so happy to be in a clean one.
Sunday night dd and I made a new dish. It was egg noodles, ground beef, some spices, cottage cheese and sour cream, topped with cheddar and baked. As has been the standard, dd tastes as we cook, agrees it smells great, then won't touch it once it's done. My bf pointed out on Friday that if I just let her get hungry enough she will eat. So I gave her the dish we baked and salad, and said she either had to eat three bites of the new dish or the entire salad (she usually eats one piece of lettuce at most). She ate the whole salad (not a huge salad or anything, but still this was a big deal)!
Now I have egg noodle bake to eat all by myself all week for lunch and probably for dinner too, which works out well with my budget :)

Ha! That's one way to get your kids to eat salad huh? LOL
I have seen ty do the same. Salads are usually last priority, unless he hates the main course. Suddenly salad is wonderful. Good great, whatever it takes!
And on the church thing, all I can say is I understand. I don't much like going alone either. And church is high on my priority list. It's just not as pleasant when you aren't doing it as a family. Go figure. Glad you found something you like. ;)
Friday - went to Miami with my coach to pick up packets for our half marathon. Had a nice time and talk - got stuck in rush hour - which was a good thing!! My ds and I watched TV - all snuggled up.
Saturday - made pancakes with DS before his dad picked him up. Got a lot of work done on the computer. Went shopping for a rolling pin. Took a hot bath and went to bed REAL early.
Sunday - got up at 3:15 AM to run a half marathon with my coach (crush!). Had breakfast with him and then went home to sleep the rest of the day - very tired after running 13 miles!! Managed macaroni and cheese from a box for dinner with DS (this is a laugh because I am a chef!!)
This morning I am doing the old man shuffle - legs are VERY stiff from running 13 miles as fast as I could go!!
This morning I managed to swim over a mile in the pool.

Stuff like: Did you go out? Where?
Mark and I went to a dance club Friday night.
Saturday morning we watched movies. Saturday afternoon we went to the Animal Welfare League and got my daughter a kitten. Very cute. Saturday night we went for pizza. Very disappointing. To me, this pizza is the best pizza in the world. One bite and Mark's throat started to swell. He must have been allergic to something in the sauce. The worst part is, it takes 25 minutes to get to this place and I got a little lost getting there because I hadn't been there in over a year, and then he doesn't even like it. Oh well.
Meet a guy, go out with a guy or what did you do with your hubby or boyfriend?
Was with Mark this whole weekend.
What about the kids, what did they do? With you or without?
The kids were with their dad.
Then the real nosey stuff:
Did you get along with your SO?
Did you talk about something special?
Did you have fun?
Or were you missing something this weekend?
As you'll read in my other post, we had a great time, for the most part. We were both a little under the weather, him more so than me, and the pizza thing didn't help. As for talking about something special, we talked about him meeting my kids and me meeting his family, and I'm just not ready to do that right now. Yes, it's totally me. It's a bit of a trust issue, and I'm not ready to steamroll things right now. I just want to have fun right now, and hopefully in time, the rest will work it's way out. I just can't take a heavy commitment thing right now. In my mind, were starting over. The other six months doesn't count. Were back to square one. And in just two months time, I'm not ready for any kind of commitment right now. Maybe in time I will be.
Was something missing -- yeah, my brain. I got my period last Thursday, so I was hormonal. Then, I'm on medication for depression, and I forgot to take it the whole weekend. So it's really no wonder why I crashed Sunday night. The thing is, when I crash, I crash hard. And it takes a few days to get back to normal.
I have some very special feelings for Mark. If I didn't I would have never taken him back. I'm falling in love with him, and it scares me. I just can't tell him how I feel or that I'm scared. I really haven't told anyone, not even my sister. I'm trying to hold onto my emotions, but that's really hard when there is so much stress all around me -- my recent job troubles, my kids at school. It's a little much to handle at times. And I'm trying to handle this relationship without getting all stupid in the head. But the heart tells a different story. I know I blew his comment way out of proportion. I think that just goes to show how much I care about him. Because if I didn't, I would be like -- too bad, it's his loss. After all, I am an Irish Scorpio with an attitude and a hot temper. I've just never showed that side of myself, nor has Mark ever seen my "black hole depression" side either. And if I can at all help it, he never will. It's way too ugly.
Cat, was that enough info. for you? I can ramble on and on, can't I. It's just so hard for me to find people to talk to that can understand me. Here's one place I can really let it all hang out.
Donna
Well I'm happy to help you move your posts to the bottom if that's what you want Catherine. I'm glad you seem to be in better spirits.
Stuff like: Did you go out?
No didn't go out. Unless you count to Cub Scouts Friday night??
Where?
like I said, I live a wild life.
Meet a guy, go out with a guy or what did you do with your hubby or boyfriend?
Friday night, he worked as usual. I had my son's cub scout meeting until 8:30. Came home watched t.v. and went to bed. Saturday, got up early enough, woke my honey up an hour later to make our breakfast (hey, I figure he can cook one meal all week, and I HATE making breakfast.) Then we argued. Nothing serious but annoying. I drove my daughter to her program at the college down the street and went grocery shopping for our company Sunday. Played games with the kids in the afteroon. That night we watched movies. Ate junk! :) Very good. And he and I made up but I was too tired by the time we went to bed to be very romantic. So lots of kissing and cuddling but no action. ;)
Sunday, I woke up early and cleaned and cooked. My dad took my kids sledding and as soon as they left, I made up for the night before. ;)
Then we had my family over for dinner for the kids' birthday (that had gotten screwed up last Sunday with the snow) and as I said in a previous post, I had way too much wine! jeez, red wine hits you.
Played Disney Scene It with the kids after my family left and watched t.v. and went to bed.
I think I gave you just about every detail of my weekend. ;)
Then the real nosey stuff:
Did you get along with your SO? I did for most of it. It's never 100% is it?
Did you talk about something special? MMM, what we wanted to do to each other. ;)
Did you have fun? Yes, except for the cut down cuddling time afterwards because I had company coming.
Or were you missing something this weekend?
Just more alone time with my honey.
Tara
