Strange but I will be RELIEVED to have that thing as my extra pair of eyes.....to see if indeed H is still sneaking off to the casino.

BTW...in the interim...my job contract (was gathering dust in the secretary's "to do" pile)...called her and went in person to sign it and turn it back in. PHEW....giant sigh of relief. Took son for first therapy session to help him with monitoring his panic/anxiety issues. Felt better to know he has a therapist to check in with now....even if it's just once in a while to ride herd on how he's dealing with my new marriage. Think the therapist sees that I might need some counseling too....and you know what? I might just do that. A better emotionally glued-together wife of a CG is a good thing for my occasionally anxious kid...right?

Also...after all day at the DMV.... took son for his permit test and he is now officially good to go and get behind the wheel with me. Whooooooooo hooooooooo....are we gonna have fun now!!!!

Even though I "sense" that H took a little gambling side trip yesterday....I am feeling okay today. I am feeling stronger about ME today, and that makes all the difference.

Thanks too for the posts regarding my last wiggy day.....I was pretty low. It's so great to hear it from recovering gamblers to not feel guilty or crazy and hang in there as the confronting spouse. You don't know how MUCH that helps me. Bless you for that.

Okay...going to take driving boy to the market to get dinner.

" IT ARRIVED TODAY...and H received the package from the UPS guy. Luckily I had the foresight to address it to my son...he is always replacing broken gadgets for his phone or I-pod...so it didn't raise any eyebrows. I am charging as I type.

So tomorrow...operation GPS goes into effect.
