Today is my last working day - Thursday 9 pm into Friday 5 am. Yay for the weekend!
I have a busy weekend ahead, with some fun stuff to do - my mom is having a yard sale on Saturday - it's like the annual block party in her neighborhood. My older daughter is having her boyfriend up to visit and show around town - maybe I can get them to go to dinner with me! My younger one is going into Boston for a concert with some of her friends.
My younger daughter has received several scholarships - she is rightly proud! I think she is going to be very happy over the summer - she has taken the worst hit with the divorce, having her dad move out and then not really having a settled mom to live with. She is a very outgoing girl, though, and has had a lot of attention this year for things other than the separation.
I realized today that most of my difficulty this week was due to anxiety over "THE FUTURE" and not actually the divorce/loss of this particular husband. My friend reminded me yesterday that the ex really was a pain in many ways, and that we did really surprisingly to have lasted 26 years. In so many ways, we were not right for each other! So, my afternoon with my friend was very productive.
My daughters are both at home now - what a relief! And the older one seems to be really getting along well with the great boyfriend that she has, so I am hoping she gets a job so she stays out of trouble! She's one of those girls who is easily tempted by distractions and has broken up with many boys by going out with a new one and getting caught! (ok, two, but that is a lot if you ask me!).
I have been eating healthy foods, but I think I have been eating too many of them! We'll see tomorrow or Saturday if I can remember to weigh in.
Hope you have a good Friday!

You must be so proud of your daughter. Good for her. I'm sure things will pull together for her and she will get used to the divorice. I understand what you mean about being worried more about the future. It is different living alone and being the only one responsible but I have faith in you and you will be ok. I'm glad your visit with your friend was an enlightening experience for you. Take care Abba sounds like you will be having lots of fun this weekend. Enjoy it!

You must be so proud of your daughter- how great for her. Boys... well we all have gotten into some trouble with boys now havent we? haha.
Have a great time with your girls and have a nice weekend- stay strong and maybe try writing down what you eat to make it real. it helps me.

Gosh, you do seem to have a great weekend planned. Keeping busy keeps our minds out of the dumps. Before I married my present husband, I was alone for about 12 years, by choice. I was burned out on men and since I had the 2 girls, I was not ready to have another man step in. They did well and I think they are well adjusted. It is still new for your daughters, but time heals. Be there for them and listen to them and things will probably work out well with time. When I met Dave (husband) he was a very special man and was wonderful to my daughters, who were at that time teenagers (the worst time!). Now they are adults and think of him as their Dad (their own chose not to be in their lives...all the better). Sorry to rattle on, I can relate to your situation and wanted you to know my story. Enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you later.

Scholarships! What a wonderful thing for your daughter! You must be one proud mama! I totally understand the fear of the future thing. I think that so many people stay together because the known is somehow less scary than the unknown. I am so happy you are moving ahead and know you will find happiness on the other side when all is said and done. It does take time but you will find your groove! :) {{{hugs}}}

Nice to have a friend who you can really talk to and hear what she has to say!!! I can see how much more settled you feel with your girls there. The future is ALWAYS uncertain ... we just THINK we have it figured out!! LOL!!!
