Hello and Happy Sunday!

13 yrs yesterday!

On the Home Front:  Ok, so here's the thing. I've known for months that my husband is a pathological liar and serial cheater among other things. I've had to put things in motion that I never, in a million years, thought I would have to do. I honestly wanted to wait a few more days, when I got the legal separation papers back from the lawyer, to confront him and kick him out, but he started asking questions on Sunday about some things and so that's when it all went down. The shit really hit the fan. And he's gone. He fucked up royally. And has been for years. 28 years, in fact. He is so not the person I thought he was. He is a fucking stranger to me. I'm grieving a lost relationship and I'm mad as hell. The kids are devastated and pissed. He has left an emotional mess behind for me to clean up. But I am my mother's daughter and I will pick up the pieces and move on. I've not really cried except when my brother sent a text saying that there was the most gorgeous rainbow over the farm and it literally started (or looked like it) on the place where we spread mom's ashes. So he interpreted that to mean mom is sending her love and support. Then I cried. It's been an an emotionally devastating week. There are a ton of things I've needed to do to separate our finances and accounts. I dropped off a copy of the papers for him to review and we should be getting those notarized tomorrow as well as the titles to the cars. One step at a time.

The rest of the week was driving Kyle to and from work, picking Ellie up from school on the days Jess worked, doing grocery pick up, getting my ears re-pierced (stopped wearing earrings over 2 decades ago), and yesterday Anna, DJ, Trip, Kyle, and I went to the State Fair in Raleigh while Jess and Ellie went to the Ren Fair in Charlotte. I'm 56 and never been to a State Fair - not when I lived in OH or since I've been in NC. So I can cross that off my Bucket List. I'm tired. Today I will do the cleaning since it didn't get done yesterday and then I'll either mindlessly watch Criminal Minds or attempt to read. We'll see.
