I'm sitting on my couch drinking coffee and watching football. Watching football while everyone else is asleep is hard. And I think I might have to disown my Phins. I thought they might be halfway decent this year since they made some good moves with players in the off season, but they are pretty much just making me want to cry.
No plans today. It's cloudy, chilly, and gloomy so I think we will just stay home and chill. I need to do dd's laundry and clean bathrooms today though so that's on the agenda for ds's nap time.
And per her request, we're going to Chili's for lunch. She would eat there seven days a week if we let her. Lol
So is mine! ? The time has passed so quickly!
We have family and friends coming over for A's birthday at noon and I'm only half ready, but am not really rushing to finish up. It rained this morning (thank goodness!) and it's cool and cloudy and all I want to do is cuddle my girl and watch something on tv with her.
On cloudy, cold, gloomy days like today where we're planning crockpot stews and looking up baking recipes, I really get in the mood for Christmas. Like I want to turn on my Christmas Pandora station right now, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO. I am going to be good. Oct. 4 is way too early. But I want to.
In other news, we decided to be lazy and not go hiking at the state park today lol.
Every time I write happy birthday to a friend on Facebook, autocorrect wants me to write "Happy Boothbay" or "Happy Birdbath" What is a Boothbay? I very well might wish someone a happy birdbath someday. That one has a nice ring to it.
Boothbay is a town in Maine!
We went to dim sum and they had my favorite clams with black bean sauce and shrimp stuffed eggplant. Score!

I'm so stressed out, it's not even funny. I have a cold, so does Bonnie. I feel like I've been running myself ragged all week long. I'm freaking out about money and trying to find a job and I don't want to be around people, and worst of all it's my favorite time of year and I'm not enjoying it! It doesn't help that the weather has been like 105-108 all week. It's October, people. Get with it! It's actually only supposed to be 90 today, so I'm going to pretend it's blustery outside. Blah!

Let me preface this by saying, the situation between me and my H is complicated. We've both made mistakes, but currently he's angry at me and rightfully so. My H, who wants to separate, asked me to help him apply for a job in Australia. It's a 4 month process to get his credentials approved there before he can work but I'm.. I don't know. I hate the idea of him going to Australia with the way things are now, and plus, the kids?! He pretty much expected me to assume 100% of the responsibility of the kids but with no commitment in our marriage from him. Other than, he'd send me money. I.. I'm lost. I don't know what to say.

I woke up and looked at phone and there is a lime across the screen. I called TMobile and they are sending me a new one under warranty. I hope there is no water damage.
Lazy day. We had an insanely busy and exhausting weekend last weekend, and the weather is cloudy and grey so it's a perfect day to lounge, read and drink coffee. We slept in and H made us bacon and eggs for a late breakfast. We are going to ikea later and out with the Inlaws to dinner, that's it.
The original plan was to go to a wine festival with my girlfriends, but it got rescheduled due to the weather, and I'm feeling pretty ok with that as I sit here in my robe in the middle of a dog sandwich!!

No, no, no. He can't have his cake and eat it too. Even if he is rightfully angry with you, if you are separated, he has to figure things out about his own stuff. And is he planning on trying to work on the marriage from Australia or just leave you in limbo land, hoping that sending you money will placate the situation? He would have to shit or get off the pot. Either you want to leave completely or you want to separate and work on the marriage and assume responsibility for yourself and your kids.
I'm in northern Michigan. We attended my cousin's wedding last night and it was SO FUN. We were worried we were going to freeze because it was an outdoor tented wedding, but the tent had walls and between all the people there and some heaters, we were fine. The food and drinks were a community effort and easily the best wedding food I've had. My uncle is a fisherman and HELLO fish tacos, smoked salmon and fried trout. Mmmmmmm. They had a live band, too! We rented a house with my cousins and they just left so we have the place to ourselves and are just relaxing in the quiet now. I'll probably see my mom and dad later, and tomorrow our flight doesn't leave until the evening, so I think we'll check out a winery.
Honestly I think he's just trying to run away and yet still feel like he's taking care of the kids, by sending money. He says he doesn't think he ready to divorce but he's not ready to start working on the marriage. I want to work on things. I get though, that I can't change his mind or force his hand. So I don't know what to do. I've been seeing a therapist by myself and he went with me last week, but nothing was accomplished of course in one visit other than reiterating what we'd already said to each other.
I'm waiting for DS's friend to get picked up. He's still here from yesterday and DS appears to be very ready for him to go home. He's so much like me, it's funny.
Then food shopping and cooking. I'm still not sure what to make for dinner but I know I want it to be a carby comfort food.
You can't see the apples as well as I thought you would, but it's super delicious! Also got too brown, but oh well! Might make a french toast bake with it!
It looks delicious!! Next time you can cover it with foil when you notice it getting too brown.
I did that too. I cut the bake time down by HALF before checking on it and it just wasn't enough. I should have stayed in the kitchen and watched. Lesson Learned though! My oven runs hot though. I should have known better.
My H just confessed that he's felt irrationally mad at me all day because he had a dream last night that I got rid of our living room couch without telling him.
i started my chili this morning, have done some cleaning and yard work, and family will be over soon to watch football - we are a house divided - half packers and half vikings.
Awesome 15k this morning! My legs are shot now! Wahooooo! Cool here, made chicken chili, rode the bike, now watching movies while it rains! Perfect day!
Went to breakfast with bf. Picked up Dd. We played Legos while it rained. Lunch and nap. Grocery store run. Now she is watching a movie and I am starting dinner. Kind of a blah day.
It kinda sounds like he wants you to make the decision. It's shitty of him, regardless of the circumstances. Leave you in limbo while he goes to another continent while he figures out what he wants? Fuck that.
The good news--you still love him. That's a long time. I suggest Lifetime movies, manicures and pedicures at home, popcorn popped in coconut oil with sea salt, and many naps.

i am currently sitting in my backyard drinking coffee and watching this: Balloon Fiesta!! I love this time of year!!! Then we are going to go the zoo with the girls later. nice, relaxing Sunday.
Where are you? I so want to go to something like this one day.
Albuquerque, NM . They do this every year for the first week of the October. We have over 500 balloons here.
