A new school year began today for the students. The teachers returned last week. This morning standing in the rotunda I saw a mixture of emotions on the faces of children and parents. One mother of a new kindergartener was crying as she walked out, many parents of the older children had huge smiles as they walked out. Lucky ducks I thought to myself. I work at a school where many of the mothers stay at home during the day so the first day of school is quite exciting for them I am sure!

The morning was a bit bittersweet for me. My youngest dd started her first day of 5th grade. After this year she will move on to the middle school. I am happy she is growing up, after all she does dress and feed herself and was ready for school this morning before I even woke up. While she will be entering middle school my oldest dd will experience her first year of high school next year. Oh my!! She was fluttering with nerves on the ride to school this morning. Then, she began laughing at herself. She said “ya know mom this is really silly. I can understand being nervous on your first day of kindergarten but I am in 8th grade” She is at the age where you have an appearance to maintain she says lol. Last year she was my tee shirt and jeans gal, this year while shopping for school clothes, she informed me that she will be going for the preppy look this year.

Working in the office can be quite interesting. We were bombarded by a few irate parents because the bus did not show up to pick up Little Johnny this morning and therefore they had to get dressed and drive him to school. It just seems that when you are the first person they see upon walking in the door, it is a given that you catch the frustrations they are experiencing. The afternoon will be interesting. Sally Sue will still not have arrived home from the bus an hour after school is out and mom will be frantic. This is just the way it goes during the first week of school. I do not pity the bus driver maneuvering a big yellow hot box that has no air packed with 75 very loud children of various ages, not only trying to find where everyone belongs but at the same time trying to maintain some level of sanity if at all possible.

Oh did I mention the number of students that have no idea how they are even getting home this afternoon? Yep, all ages too. Maybe I am just overprotective but I always work out those wee little details of getting home and such. I must be one of a rare breed.

This time next week all of the craziness will have settled down and some sort of routine will sorted out. By that time the newness of the school year will have worn off for my children and I will begin the battle of dragging them out of bed in the mornings. That is after I manage to roll my own rear end out.

Have a good day ya’ll!!!

Life tends to throw so many twists and turns our way. We have several choices, we can run from them, learn from them or simply avoid them in hopes that they will disappear.

Things are not any better here. As each day passes I find myself a step closer to the door. He decided to go through the Mr. Nice Guy stage and show me what a kind person he can be blah blah. Well, I look at it like this, you have not wanted to be kind and nurturing in ten years so don't start now. Of course that was all shot out the door when I refused to have sex with him. Ummm hello... am I speaking a language  you don't understand?? I do not tell you bye when you leave, I do not say good morning or good night, I do not speak to you at all unless and have to and you want WHAT from me?!?! You are kidding right?

I know what a total  . But like I told my oldest dd today. Mom is in an "I don't care" stage. She has seen what I have gone through for years and has lately been saying things like ya know mom, we can go and get an apartment. Now when your 13 year old dd says this, it's time. I am just taking things one step at a time and making sure I can do it right so I don't fall flat on my face.

For so long I have done things he wanted me to. He likes my hair to be blond so I have dyed it some sort of blonde for the past few years. I will admit I too like the blonde but tonight.... I took the plunge to brunette. Out of spite? You bet your sweet ass it is!! Does he hate it? Probably so and that makes me love it even more. I know it sounds childish but hey it made me smile!

I am off to check on everyone! Have an awesome night!!

How true is this. We never know what tomorrow holds. Each day I seem to be faced with another obstacle but in the end each and every one of them makes me a stronger person.

*EDIT* It is 4:15 a.m and I am not the least bit sleepy. Will someone PLEASE tell my brain to shut down so I can drift happily into lala land?!?!

Not much has changed here. I am still unhappy as ever. I have been spending alot of quiet time to myself trying to sort things out. I did not call my sister. Part of me thinks that if I fall on her it will not help me to stand on my own two feet. I know that I want out, I know that I am unhappy what I am unsure of is the next step I need to take. In some ways I think I need to sort some things out before I up and leave on the other hand I say screw it just get out.

He has tried a few times to be nice and affectionate but it's too little too late. I know that may sound harsh and alot of people will think I should be happy he is trying to do better but, I have been through this so many times and know that his actions are simply a way of temporarily smoothing things over. I have completely shut myself off from him and do not want to be touched in any way.

I know it has to get worse before it can get better and I know the best is yet to come. I would love to say that we can both be adults and go our seperate ways but I do not see that happening with him.

In some of my alone time ( I was home all day yesterday from 6 a.m until 8 p.m and it was completely quiet, no tv, no music) I have thought about the kids and the decisions I am making. I know that in the long run we will all be better off.

Being with him for the past 11 years, I do still have a bit of a soft spot in my heart for him. I hate the thought of him being alone and not having a family to come home to but I also hate the thought of me being unhappy any longer.

How do I know I am making the right choice? I guess there really isnt a way to know. Just jump in feet first and go for it huh?

Loco Motive

If You Don't Wanna Love Me

There comes a fork in the road sometimes and you have to chose to go left or go right. Sometimes we know where the path leads and sometimes we venture into the unknown.

I think I have come to a place in my life where it is time for me to take the path that ventures into the unknown. From the time I was a teenager, I have lived my life for everyone else. After my parents divorced, I lived for my mother, did everything I could to help her pick up and move on. Then I met the man that would become my husband, became pregnant and started our family. For 11 years I have lived to please my family. No matter what it may be I lived for them. That was my role as a wife and mother.

My role as a mother will continue and in the years to come will become the role of grandmother. It has come time for my role as wife to end.I have always been a firm believer that all things happen for a reason. There is a reason for this as well.

A couple of weeks ago I was sad and upset to find out I wasn't pregnant. Of course it was very emotional for me. In the midst of all this I find out that a baby is not what my dh truly wants. This was yet another obstacle thrown into the road of our marriage.

I know that marriage is all about obstacles and it is not a bed of roses. But when your dh tells you to leave he doesnt care or to get a divorce or when you ask him if it is really worth it to stay married and he says no then what are ya supposed to think.

I think the breaking point for me was the other night when I was in bed and told him I needed to talk. He said no not right now I'm tired. I said there is something bothering me that I really need to talk about before I can feel better. His response was "well things bother me every day but I don't talk about them so get over it" Now mind you, this was not a situation where I sit and nag and always want to talk to him about something. I never ever talk to him about my feelings or things that are going on with me. I turn to friends.

This throws up a flag to me and tells me that something is truly wrong with this marriage. I can not do this anymore with him. I do not want to try to make it work. I love him yes, he is the father of my children but I am no longer in love with him.

I told him today to think about and decide what he wants to do with the house. I want out, out of the house, out of the state. I am talking to my sister in Florida tomorrow and gonna have her check on a few things there for me and maybe take a trip down and see if I can sort things out.

I have wanted to relocate for a while and I think this is what I need to do to start over fresh and live for me and my girls.

Am I sad? In some ways I am but after a while I have gotten numb. Sure I have shed tears and more tears about it and the hardest is yet to come. But, I do know this, whatever obstacle I am faced with, I can handle it and become a stronger person because of it.
