Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday, once I got my front door open, after locking myself out and having to climb a tall borrowed ladder to break into my very own home I unpacked my spoils from the local Op Shop, this Royal Doulton "the Coppice" dinner set, loads and loads of pieces, 56 in fact.


And look at this gorgeous Shabby Chic print, its so beautiful, would love to keep it but I am going to go for a different decor once Babes moves his stuff out.


The Princess and I went for a long walk around a nearby pond yesterday after school and then stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a late afternoon tea treat.

I was really wound up last night, the diabolical financial situation getting to me, once Babes arrived for his nightly visit and the Princess was asleep, I let rip, hissed and spat etc etc. Stress over boiled!

Today I am a bit weepy again, Babes picked me up and we went and looked at the apartment he is renting and moving into tomorrow.

Its really hard to do, but this separation is very amicable (except when I hiss and spit!), we are both determined and committed to remaining friends for the sake of the Princess.

Tomorrow will be another really hard day as I am helping Babes move into the apartment. Very lucky really isn't he!!!

Don't worry, a lot of the time I want to knock his head off, but am controlling the urges!!!

I'm off to pick up the Princess very soon, go for another walk and tonight we are going to snuggle in and watch NZ's Top Model and Project Runway, the Princess will drink lemonade from a wine glass and me, well . . . I will drink wine . . . from a wine glass!

I am also loading the 'spoils' onto Trade Me tonight.

That's it for me, have a good day

Take Care

Hi rachael, just checking in to see how you are going. Fantastic find with the royal doulton, bad luck about locking out of house though! You are a better woman than I helping him move house but you are right you have to do whats best for your child even if it involves a certain amount of "sucking it in"
enjoy your drinkies tonight!

I'm so sorry to read your marriage is ending. Being the child of divorced parents I know how much pain it can cause...BUT I am so happy for you to see how strong you are right now. Staying friends with him is going to really help your Princess...and one day she will realize just how difficult this was for you.

I don't know what to say. I'm in shock. My thoughts and prayers for strength are with you and your sweet princess.

Hugs!
