I just wanted to poke my head in for a moment to let anyone still reading here know that I am doing alright. Things are better these days. Aiden and I have moved in with his brother and his brother’s wife. We have a much nicer place now. I even get to have cats again [...]
Due to the fact that certain people feel it’s their duty to intrude on what I consider a personal situation, I see no choice but to put this blog on hiatus for the foreseeable future. It’s not really “mine” anymore, nor is it a safe place for me to express myself in anything more than the most superficial of [...]
Over the course of this separation, I’ve noticed an ongoing theme when it comes to questions that people ask me in relation to what is going on. Namely, in no particular order: Where are you living? Are you and Aiden going to continue being poly? Have you told the kids? And so, I shall attempt [...]
I went ahead and renewed this domain for another year. Fear not, I am still around, and now that Aiden and I finally have internet access at his place, I might once again find the time for writing. We are all managing to muddle though. It seems that with Jack and I both in therapy [...]
I hope you never have to know what it feels like to be in my shoes. I hope you never think that your kids would be better off with someone else, someone who can give them the best of everything, because you failed them. Because you failed yourself. I hope you never have to hear [...]
Yesterday was a rough day. In fact it was so bad, and I felt so hopeless and desperate, that I seriously considered checking myself into a hospital. I looked up suicide crisis centers in my city, just in case, and wrote down the numbers for several help lines. Sometimes life and the nastiness of this [...]
There is plenty to report, but not much that I am willing to say. Unfortunately, it may remain so for quite some time. Aiden has moved out, and now I divide my time between his place and what now feels like Jack’s house. My schedule generally involves work, picking up the kids from school, doing [...]
I’ve been mulling over what to do with this blog, and with my now inactive Twitter account. I’ve debated deleting them both, after offering alternative contact information to anyone that would like it. I don’t think that I have it in me to continue tweeting, and now that I’ve been away from it for over [...]
Earlier this week I wrote a sizable post, speaking about our current state of affairs, but after allowing it to sit for a few days, and consulting other involved parties, I’ve decided against publishing it. The fact of the matter is that Jack and I are separating. Despite outward appearances and the timing of everything, this actually has [...]
Last week I decided to randomly cross something off of my Life List, and made some homemade playdough with my kids. They seemed to particularly enjoy picking out food coloring with which to dye to dough, and then making it into all sorts of fun shapes. We never had play doh from the store when [...]
On Saturday night the three adults that live in this house sat down together to have a family meeting. This is not unusual for us, however, the outcome of this particular meeting happened to be that Aiden is going to be moving out of our home. It saddens me just to type it, and I [...]
Jack and I recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary (10th anniversary as a couple) and he surprised me with a limosine ride to the Calgary Tower, where we had dinner at the revolving restauraunt. It was such a surprise, totally amazing, and not to mention, crossed TWO things off of my Life List: 85. Ride in a [...]
We are only two weeks into 2011, and I’ve already managed to cross something off of my Life List, and I am half-way though a second item! It’s shaping up to be a productive year. Jack got me a wonderful dehydrator for Christmas, which made it easy to make our own beef jerky! 325. Make [...]
