"To Do" List

2007-06-04

I have a bunch of things to do tomorrow in order to "earn" my trip to Sioux City.  What a sucky thing to have to justify every little thing by showing how productive and what a good little girl I've been.  I had a friend tell me shortly after her divorce that she'd been shopping at Victoria's Secret and was so glad she didn't have to go have sex with her husband in order to justify the money she'd spent, nevermind the fact that they could well afford it.  That's about how I'm feeling right now.  Resentment is an ugly thing and I hope I don't get bogged down by it.

I've been very productive today.  Started the paperwork for the kids to get them registered for school, toured the elementary school, went to Kmart for bathroom storage cabinets (I know, Kmart sucks), assembled the cabinets, got my laundry room and the cats' bathroom just the way I want them, did 3 loads of laundry, unpacked half of my son's room, got my dining room cleared out enough to set up the table, and still managed a trip to Starbuck's and some much needed phone time with friends. 

On the list for tomorrow - plant the tomatoes & herbs I bought at Home Depot, finish unpacking my son's room in preparation to have his bed delivered, stop by Lowe's to return some bathroom fixtures, pick up wheels for the bed frame & less expensive bath fixtures, pack for my Sioux City trip, finish laundry, finish unpacking the bathroom stuff, drop paperwork off at the two different schools, and of course, stop for coffee.  That should be a pretty full day!  I'm tired just thinking about it.

For tonight, I just want to go to sleep without fighting (or really talking to) my husband.  Having him around all of the time is going to be extremely stressful if we keep having the kinds of interactions we've been having.  He helped me by putting up a shelf in the cats' bathroom, which I greatly appreciated.  Hopefully we can just leave it at that.  Thanks everyone for your comments and messages!  It helps to know someone cares, especially when I'm reminded how lonely I am because I don't have anyone to put down for the emergency contacts at school :(  It gets better, right?

isn't sex a strange thing...for a guy most of it is good, but some a heck-of-a-lot than others...for a gal, it can be out-of-this-world, or a real drudge, depending on the emotional factor...don't feel guilty about a discrete affair or two - think of the royalties of old - multiple wives, mistresses, harems, syphillis, etc - your situation could be worse?

Oh yeah, make sure you're number one on the to do list, meaning that you shouldn't forget to take care of yourself and remember that you are number one.

It does get better as long as you don't forget about healing yourself both mentally and physically.
