Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
My weekend was full of NOTS or kNOTS.
It was the weekend of NO kids. I did not lose all motivation the minute they were out that door. I did NOT curl up in the fetal position on the corner of the couch...for hours. I did NOT have to force myself to shower and GET OUTSIDE.
Once I was OUT, I did NOT mean to about kill myself on the same hike we took on Mother's Day. I was NOT wheezing my way up that dune and I did NOT think about turning around and heading back to the couch.
After the hike I did NOT go sit on the beach and curse every loving couple there or families with their children frolicking around the beach. I did NOT feel like just laying there in the fetal position and sleep the rest of the weekend off.
I did NOT turn down an invite to a movie from a friend to wallow in my own self pity. What a waste of time THAT would have been. *eye roll* (Sorry B, keep askin)
Finally when Bubba came home I asked how his weekend was with Daddy (which really is only one night...every other week) to which he replied good, then I did NOT shit my pants when I listened to where the two of them spent the night on Saturday night. I was NOT thoroughly disappointed to hear that they stayed at Daddy's friend's house...and I didn't not DROP MY JAW, when I found out that this "friend" is a woman....with TWO kids....and that she was at the family birthday party...and that my baby spent the night on her couch. I WAS NOT ABOUT TO LOSE MY FRIGGIN MIND.
I did NOT immediately call my friend and admit that though I am not upset he is dating, I am UPSET that he is getting laid and I.AM.NOT.
Besides the fact that WHOA Nelly on taking our son to the "friends" to spend the night. Never mind the fact that he spends ONE NIGHT EVERY OTHER WEEK with his child and he CHOOSES to spend it at his "friends" --no. NONE of that sets me off...NONE.OF.IT. He's not an asshole, no, I would NOT say that about the father to one of my children.
*coughassholecough*
*sigh and deep breath*
Lastly, I am NOT too proud to beg for your votes again.
and do NOT forget.
You won't want to be left out on the Eden Fantasys giveaway, that would NOT be cool on your part...not at all.
Keep on slippin and sliding....wheeeee.
Idiot. Jerk. Loser. Yep I remember that. I got a long lecture from my ex about dating and not bringing random guys around our daughter (no shit Sherlock. Like I'm gonna bring random guys around her.) Then my daughter tells me that Aunt V sleeps in daddy's bed and her tooth brush is there. WTF?
ReplyDeleteI also sometimes get sad when I see families hanging put together. Then I remember how much worse it was being married when I was always runner up to his drinking. Even with my breakdown this week I am still happier now.
ReplyDeleteWOW, sounds like a bad weekend. I hope everything is ok now or at least getting better.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had such a crappy weekend. I promise you that it does get better. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteWhat you need is a weekend of kids.
ReplyDeleteOh would I be mad. Steaming mad. You are a bigger person than me ;)
ReplyDeleteYou will find your one and only and it will all have been worth it. :)
Ouch. Big hugs. I personally think there is nothing wrong with a weekend in the fetal position...sometimes we need to save up our energy to get through the next week!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel cheery soon!
OK, I do NOT hate your ex. Seriously. I cringe thinking that someday Sam will tell me something similar. Yet, the chances of my ex ever having a relationship are slim to none.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I do NOT go vote for you each day. :)
Oh that would piss me off! I am mad for you.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a bad environment for the kids. His judgment must be a mess.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Well, at least your son had fun--I think. That's a tough situation, sorry it was a rough one. Hugs, pally.
ReplyDeleteYep. He's an asshole. A disrespectful, dumbass asshole.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! Best NMM post EVER. And I mean it. I can feel you screaming from in my computer. What an ass he is!
ReplyDeleteOh honey, that does NOT suck gigantic donkey balls. OK, hold on. YES, it does! He needs to be told the rules of divorce. You should be getting unending offers for amazing sex with gorgeous men who want nothing more than to hear you moan over and over again. Meanwhile, his man meat should be rotting off from lack of use. Those are the rules!
ReplyDeleteSome men just don't get fatherhood. Really. And unfortunately, since you can't control him, you CAN call him a total ASS HOLE all you want on a public blog, since we don't actually know his identity.
ReplyDeleteK?
sorry about your weekend..
ReplyDeleteIt was not very smart of him.
hope you have a better week.
Sorry about your weekend. You should cough a LOT more.
ReplyDeleteOh I would be RAGING MAD!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how well I would handle my kids being around another woman that early on.
Not very good, I am sure.
Sorry for a shitty weekend. :(
Ugh, stomach just turned at the thought of the "sleepover"....what men will do for some action is beyond words.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous you even have a hiking trail near by!!! Why not scream and yell while climbing it...might help release some anger!! I would so do that!
Is "coughassholecough" in the dictionary? If it's not, it should be!
ReplyDeleteOh that sucks! Sounds like you need a big laugh, come check out my new post!
ReplyDeleteYour last point was the kicker for me. If you only have one night every other week with your kid you BEST be spending it with said kid. I would be furious.
