Awwwww…a lazy morning!!!

I’ve been waiting on this day for sooooo long—where i could wake up and spend a little quality alone time with my computer & OD!  I have so much catching up to do that it could take me the whole three day weekend!!  But…that’s ok, ’cause i don’t have anything else major planned, just catching up around the house.  I got lots of good sleep that i needed last night!!!  YAY!!!!!!!!

J and i are getting along.  I think even a lot of the animosity is gone for me, which brings me a peace deeeeep down in my soul that i’ve needed.  And a lot of it has to do with the apologies i’ve gotten from j– not the standard "i’m sorry i ruined your life" kind of things that he was giving me right after the divorce.  But the more sincere, heart felt, specific ones.  Like he’s spent enough time alone in the past few years reflecting and some of what i’d told him i had a problem with, he finally gets it.   Of course, after all we’ve been through, i still have him at arm’s length…and don’t expect that to change any time soon, if ever.  But it’s nice to spend time with someone who knows me so well (even tho i surprise him from time to time…).

Last weekend we had a hurry up and get things together kind of yard sale at j’s.  Most of the stuff belonged to Kim and Ant, or, rather, had belonged to the kids and they’d outgrowned it.  But j and i went through some of his things that had been sitting in the same spot since i’d left and that he obviously didn’t need and cleared them out.  I had a few things gathered together already.  Altogether, we made about $300– not too shabby!!  I took my little bit out in trade for the new printer Kim & Ant were selling and some other odds and ends.  They’re saving the money for a Disney World trip for the kids the end of this month, so that was cool.

And Chant and Bailey spent the night at Papa j’s, so so did i (on the couch, of course).  We had a blast with the kids– Bailey had us laughing so hard that we were nearly crying more than once.  She was wound up, playing on the steps of the pool and doing what she does best– jabbering away!  We only understood about a third of what the child was saying, but she’s soooo animated with her hands and facial expressions that we were her willing audience and at her command (good grandparents!!).

And i have a story or two to tell about Bailey, but that’s gonna have to wait for now!  Gotta get up and moving– but, hopefully, i’ll be back!!

Blessed be!!!!!
