I can sum today up in one word-craptastic. I kept mentally resetting and thinking I'd turn it around and things would get better. And then they turned craptastic again. Started at 9am and lasted until 7pm. One word descriptions: bank, ex husband, accountant/taxes, Matt, ex husband, bank, people in line in front of me at the restaurant-okay, I used more than one word. What can I say? My day was craptastic.
One good thing though. Stress is contributing to my back problems. I use exercise to relieve stress. No exercise with the back problems. So twice today I loaded Buk in the car and we went for lovely 20 minute walks in one of my favorite places. I'm going to try to do that every day when possible. I could feel the tension leaving my body and I smiled. Buk wanted to bring home a gigantic palm tree he fell in love with. Explained we had a smaller one in the backyard and, if I tried to put this one on the roof of Elliot the Honda Element, it would squash him like a fly. Over the next few days when Buk and I walk, I'll try to get pictures of our adventures. I love that little guy and am glad Matt couldn't take him when he moved out.
Matt-he did something that I won't even go into that really pissed me off today. Then Sam told me Mandie broke up last night, but I guess they are back together today. Is it wrong I'm pretending for the moment to only have one son?
Stress, stress, stress.
But Lauren and I have tenatively planned our second deck party for Saturday night. Fire in the fire bowl. She, Buk, and I out on the deck making s'mores. Taking pictures. Giggling.
I need that right now.
Forgot to tell you about email I got from ex. "You should consider inviting me to go with you to the movies the next time you go. Not that you need to feel obligated to do so."
I'm sort of mentally numb at this point. But I did get my to do list done for the day. Now I'm going to put on a cute pair of jammies, take Neko and Buk out to the patio with me, and we will watch the solar lights all come on. I think I'm even going to skip "Big Brother" tonight-and that's saying a lot.
Dear Tristan, please not tonight. Love, Grandma

ugh -- days like that suck ... exercise has always helped me hang on to what little sanity is left -- definitely feel the consequences when you can't exercise ... too bad Matt & Andie are behaving badly & it's affecting you -- don't they realize if they continue it affects the baby, too? hope today will be a better day for you.
I want a palm tree, too - although I am sure not for the same reason(s).
. And, unfortunately, I don't think it would appreciate our cold and snowy winters.
Seriously, your ex? Seriously? Does he not get the "ex" part?
What a day! I bet you are glad to see the end of it. Thank goodness there's a brand-new day tomorrow!
Just for you I'm going to attempt to give you a palm tree today.
