Hi folks,

I don't know if there are even many of the folks on anymore that I used to chat with everyday for a few years. It's been 3 months since my last entry.

 

Life is pretty much back to normal. I have lots of time with my 2 daughters.

 

I'm single again but had an awesome relationship for quite a while. We left on great terms when she had to move a way but we still chat and keep in touch.

 

I haven't really had much interaction with my X in so many months now. It has been nice.  I do have a kind of sad but also a bit funny story about her....

 

My kids have been visiting her parents in Illinoise the last 2 weeks and last Thursday my X and her younger boyfriend flew out so she could show off her young boyfriend to her friends from home for the weekend. On Friday morning they jumped in the boat to go water skiing and he was standing in the boat and she pushed him overboard as a joke. He hit the water, turned white as a ghost and sunk. He suffered a major heart attack (at age 34-he smokes) and had been in the hospital till late last night. Now he is at my x-inlaws and has to stay a week before he can even travel home. My X is miserable and my x-father in law was joking about strapping him to a tire tube and pulling him around the lake like "Weekend at Bernies"....X didn't like that very much.

The other bad part is that since she is stuck there an extra week she extended the kids for a week (a week I am supposed to have them) without my consent.

 

I am retired from the military now...no worries about being called up anymore. My retirement gift to myself is a trip to Alaska with some military buds in August to go Salmon and Halibut fishing....I can't wait!

 

I am missing my kids and as I usually sign off...hug your kids if you have them....let them know they are loved. If you're not with them...give em a call and tell em you love em.

    OMG!!! That is sad, but freakin' hysterical!! You had to have laughed hard enough to tear up on that, even if it is sad. Well, we always use to talk about Karma catching up with our ex's. Never has with mine, but his abusive ass is someone else's problem now. My son enters the Navy October 1st. Decided to be the 4th generation to join the Navy. He turns 21 August 23, so mom and I are taking him to Vegas for a last hurrah before he leaves and to make sure he turns 21 properly!

    Wow--I'll bet that young guy is not looking so good to her right now. Bet he'll get his walkin' papers soon.

    Sorry you're missing the kids. Hugs!

    That is sad about the boyfriend but also funny at the same time. I bet she will be shopping for a new boytoy soon.

    Sorry you are missing the girls but take this time to enjoy yourself. I am glad to hear all is well with you. Enjoy your trip to Alaska, I plan to do that someday and know it will be fun.

    OMG! That's CLASSIC! I can't wait for my ex's Karma moment - it better be a big one

    Glad to hear you're officially out of the military and able to spend loads of time with the girls.
    I always think of your sign-off when Connor's at his dad's and I call him every night to say "g'nite".......and I hug him so often when he's here - you'd think he was a squeezy toy

    I know you really really miss them. But what is better is they know you have thier back and I think there is no greater gift a father can give. I've always admired your devotion to your girls. They are so lucky that have you.

    Alaska burrrrr can't wait to hear the stories!!! Bet I'll be rolling again.
