Weekend things!

[Deleted]

Where is everyone?
I cleaned and did laundry so I feel like I got a lot done.  We're going to a local burger joint for dinner and drinks later.  I wanted to go in the pool, but I hate people and it was just too crowded.  
What's everyone up to?

Getting ready to go to the village block party. But it looks like it might rain. We're in a severe drought so we desperately need the rain, but this weekend was not a good weekend for Mother Nature to decide to open up the storm clouds.

We went to the town pool and, while it was decent, I expected better. But it was quiet and friends of ours came out and joined us so it was a good afternoon.

My family reunion is tomorrow so if it's going to rain this weekend, I would rather it pour now and dry up for tomorrow.

It's raining off and on all weekend. I am glad I passed on the tennis tickets for tomorrow.

Got two matches on bumble today! I messaged them both, so we'll see what happens.

Last night I had much needed one-on-one time with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. Today I played tennis with another friend and we're doing dinner for her birthday tonight. I also sent out actual hard copy thank you cards today for a job I interviewed for yesterday. I'm hoping unique-ness pays off.

I fucking hate family Court. I finally got a copy of the visitation order from June.

The court put a holiday schedule in place. It wasn't discussed during court, the mediator put it in her report and the court accepted it.

My douchebag xh, who has supervised visitation, is intentionally not working so he doesn't have to pay child support and hasn't paid a dime for anything in the last almost 5 years, is continually rewarded with more time with the kids for his bad behavior. It's so frustrating.

How is the schedule? Im sorry things didn't go as well as you wanted.

I got a horrible headache last night and this morning. Then I started feeling nauseous. I was in class and left. I tried for more than 3 hours but I wasn't really paying much attention anyway.

DD has a sleep over tomorrow with two of her tennis friends. I am close friends with the kids parents so they are also coming over for a while to hang out as well.

Honestly, it's not the schedule (although this is the first time in their entire lives in won't have them Christmas morning), it's the fact that he continues to do things, not paying cs, missing his weekends, not showing up for the kid's stuff, but still gets more time added.

It just doesn't seem fair.

I've had a rough weekend. Thought I was on track to getting back with someone I've really enjoyed dating in the past. We had been moving slowly, but we're exclusive. Things were great. Then he had determined he's depressed and not in a place for a relationship. Which like good on you for being self aware. But it sucks and I'm pretty heartbroken. My bestie invited me to a movie and I was excited to get out. Except!! They invited another couple so now I'm the fifth wheel and it's awkward. Normally I would be fine but I'm really sad right now so being smack dab in the middle of two couple loving on each other and talking about their upcoming dates is brutal as fuck. I just wanna go back to bed

After a a Tinder date flaked on Friday and a Bumble date unfortunately had to cancel ... what's a girl to do ?

The single most decadent thing a single mom w a sitter can do ... date night w me ! Delish Chinese food alone w plans to watch Matt Daman er Jason Bourne <3

I'm sorry @pdx18.  I hate that you're feeling down.  It wasn't fair for him to (re) start something if he wasn't in a good place to do so.

STBXH found an apt and we've agreed on what stuff he's taking...so I am doing some redecorating shopping with my mom and DD. I've been playing around on Houzz and headed to Home Goods shortly. He's taking the entertainment center from the family room, and since I don't really ever watch TV downstairs, rather than replace it I'm going to make a little play area for DD. I'm also going to get some new bedding for me and finally finish up the guest room, since my mom will be staying here pretty regularly for a while.

Heading to the pool this morning. It's so hot! Then I am looking at a new development - née to decide on two lots and put a deposit down on one.

[glitzyglow]

Going kayaking today! So excited, I've wanted to do this since I moved here 2.5 years ago.

Today would have been my 11th wedding anniversary. I had a really crazy dream about exH on Friday night, but in the dream I told him and his gf I wasn't interested at all, so maybe this is really the end of my messed up dreams about him.

We were spared the flooding, but just west of us is awful. Worse than Katrina in scale. And there really isn't anything I can do. I've offered shelter and anything to people I know, but what most of them need now is boats and time for the water to crest and recede and I can't help there.

And STBXH is supposed to be driving through the area today coming back from visiting family out of state to come get DS. I had to intervene and send him info because I didn't trust he could do it safely alone.

Had a girls' day yesterday with my mom: shopping, movies (Suicide Squad--we both liked it), and dinner out. Today's consisted of standard grocery shopping, menu planning, and now I'm going to put in a few hours of work.

Overall a good weekend. Hate to see it come to an end.

[jenstar]

Sorry you're sad @pdx18.

And that's rubbish 1confused1. How do your kids feel about the plan?

It's already Monday here My weekend was good though, I've spent the last two sorting through the mountains of junk I apparently have, which has been a little crazy, but so satisfying. My goal is to get rid of around 30-40% of our stuff before we move, and I think I've reached a point where I now have more empty boxes than not. All the decluttering is giving me so much more mental energy which is a great side effect.

[1confused1]

jenstar, they don't know yet, they are with their dad this weekend. I'm sure they will be happy about it, but he has a history of not showing up so I just hope he doesn't disappoint them.

[dancelnow]

Had an interesting conversation with STBXH today and it appears he met someone on match. Once I got over my surprise that he was actually dating, I'm very concerned that he's getting scammed. She lived an hour away when they were matched and now is back in Ghana....raises way to many red flags. I really hope he doesn't get taken and someone is giving him some good counsel.

[doglove]

Sorry 1confused1, that is incredibly frustrating for sure.
