I told my sister (she's 17) about bear. She's been digging for information ever since. I finally sent her a quick rundown and pic of him. I'm still waiting for my mom's phone call. I know my sister told my mom everything. I just haven't heard from mom yet since she had to work all weekend.
I am here! I am sore from the weekends festivities. My H is sitting next to me half dead at as computer, we are both still exhausted from running around the past 3 days. We were sent home with a metric fuckton of food from the wedding we attended yesterday and I dont know that I can eat it all. Anywone want stuffed mushrooms, stuffed jalapenos, stuffed tomatoes, shrimp dip or quiche?
I had my NT scan Friday and all is well. I always forget that maybe I'm supposed to be nervous about those things, but it all worked out well. It's worked out now that I've had an ultrasound every week for the last 3 weeks. It's been really cool to see the developmental changes even in such a small amount of time.
I told my boss and my family about moving. My mom took it better than expected. My older sister, not so much. Word is not out at work yet, my boss is still processing, so I'm trying to get work done before everyone finds out and starts asking a million questions. I feel like I need to hold a press conference.
It cracks me up that you call him bear Chirp. You know I do not have a straight guy in mind.
Hahahaha
He has a few IRL nicknames... one is Animal (his favorite muppet character), one is [firstname]bear. I thought Animal sounded too dirty so I went with bear.
I like what PS said about a bird and a bear getting it on. That one makes me laugh, so imma keep it the way it is.

One of my cousin's friends (?) is texting me out of the blue for permission to quote me on something I wrote my cousin on FB (about the meaning of life).
Their texting is atrocious. I want to ask if that's how they'll be writing the paper.
I had an amazing weekend. My BIL got married. It was a beautiful ceremony with lots of happy tears and the reception was a lot of fun. So much dancing.

I will volunteer to accept any stuffed mushrooms that you don't want. I'm starving!
My weekend was good. Pretty quiet. I went to the Art Walk, it was a lot of fun! I'm finding that I do really enjoy doing all of these things that I wasn't allowed to do before, but I sometimes wish I had someone to do them with. Not necessarily a guy, but just someone to keep me company. Most of my local friends are not single, and are connected in some way to stbx. I need to get some hobbies that will help me meet new people.

This weekend was pretty nice, except it started raining on Saturday and isn't going to stop until, well, Saturday. On the up side, I'm only working through Wednesday. My birthday gift to myself is a long weekend (plus probably other things, TBD).
DH started a new job today. It's an apprentice gig that sort of just fell into his lap. He really wants to do something that could be a career and not just another job. This has a lot of potential as long as he doesn't end up hating it, but as of now he's very excited. I remain cautiously optimistic.

DD is okay. She is having trouble with things right now and I think it's stress.
She told me she and everyone "ran" into stbx's chippy and her daughter. DD said "he said it was a coincindence but I know he knows her--he called her earlier".

I reactivated my OKC account just to see if there was anyone interesting out there over the weekend... It was kind of depressing. 90% of the guys who "visited" my profile were either 2+ hours away or in their 20's. But I was visited over 100 times in 24 hours, so I guess that's something.

Let me see if I'm reading this right...
Your kids were at their dad's this weekend. He took the kids out and they "randomly bumped into" his new girlfriend and her daughter right after he spoke with her on the phone. And your kids (your daughter especially because of her age) weren't prepared?
If I got that right, he went about that all wrong. I can't do anything but shake my head at his ridiculousness.

Yep. Though he denied they were even dating until I moved out. Stbx has met her out at the park with them too.

Have you talked to stbx yet to let him know he's affecting your DD?
He's probably so wrapped up in his own shit that he doesn't see that his daughter isn't handling this so well.
ETA: It's probably time for you and stbx to sit down and really hash this out. Without the kids present. And not in a "you asshole" kind of way. In an "ok, you have a girlfriend and it seems things are getting serious... we need to talk about where this is going and how to tell the kids" conversation.
If he's moving in with her, he needs to be upfront about it. You'll probably want to meet her before the move, the kids need to be prepared, etc. It's time he stops hiding this stuff and lays it out on the table.
