In Need of Advice...(kind of long...sorry!)

Hi everyone! It has been SUCH a long time since I have posted - I see lots of new names out there! Hope everyone is doing well! Life has been pretty hectic the past six months or so...work has been insanely busy and I have had zero time to keep up with what's going on here. Things are starting to calm down, at least for a second, which works out well because I have a major issue that I need advice on - I am hoping you guys can help with some reassuring words or suggestions!

Where to begin!

Wow! It has been such a long time since I have posted. I just looked and I haven't posted any updates on my life since May! And I can add that it definitely does not mean because my life has been pretty quiet, that's for sure. I pop in from time to time and scan through the posts and try to keep up with the folks that I'm familiar with - I see lots of new faces and names! I hope you guys haven't decided to kick me out of the group for neglect! Work has been really busy and just continues to stay that way.

Face to Face with BM

I just wanted to updated you all that read my post last week. As a lot of you are aware, BM has never been nice to me in the three years that I have been with DH. She made it very well known that she didn't like me and did not wish to have anything to do with me. So, every time we are in the same place, we just ignore each other - it has been very awkward.

Lots of stuff to share!!

Hi!! It has been a couple of days full of interesting stuff to share. First off, BM called DH last week to inform him that she has enrolled SD7 in a travel soccer team. Both SD's play Spring & Fall soccer, they are in dance and gymnastics and participate in several other things throughout the year. You would think that would be enough. DH decided that he would not have anything to do with this travel team - if any games fell on our weekends, then BM would have to come pick her up and take her herself.

Called me by the ex's name!!!

It's been a long time since I have felt the need to vent about anything, but today I am just flat out pissed and need some advice - or at least a sympathetic ear! This morning DH was getting ready to go take his girls to their soccer games and I had wanted to sleep in and do some cleaning, so I didn't plan on going. Well DH was getting dressed and asked me something about his clothes. I answered him and he went to question what I had said and started to say his ex-wife's name!!!

Awkward Moment

I don't know about you guys, but I never just "bump into" the ex wife. I see her at planned events - soccer, dance, school functions - so I have a minute to prepare, you know? But I hardly ever just see her out in public. Well, DH had the girls last night and one of them had dance practice. He asked me to meet him and the other SD for dinner. So we met in the parking lot and as we walked in, guess who was sitting right there?? Yep, BM and her husband. Arghh!!!
