The kid is here...I am in the bedroom doing this and watching movies while they watch football in the living room. Why do kids just never shut up?! LOL Seriously he hasn't shut up since Friday!

BUT I am actually enjoying a relaxing evening ALONE in my room with a good movie. I have the house for 3 days next week to myself...oh thank god! Happy free night to you!

DH and I have been in bed all day, watching movies (mostly him doing the watching), eating food (with him being the delivery guy), and I worked on some offensive cross stitching and painted my nails and toenails. I left the room once all day, and that was this morning. Ha.

But I have to prep for the week and will soon be leaving the cozy comfort of my bed to hit the grocery store. Blah.

I had to break off a friendship with a woman like that not too long ago. Just couldn't take her drama. Oh and she met this guy long distance too, same hospital stuff, then she moved the guy in and he almost killed her... Her daughter stopped talking to her one day. Sorry you have to spend your free days babysitting her too. Sounds like you got it handled though.

Hi-jack thread moment ...

Dtzyblnd ... I've been off-line and haven't been lurking. Missed the Mother-toxic drama and have the ambulance chaser mentality. I like reading your posts and have missed the last week or so.

Ughugh ... No disrespect meant by hi-jack there. I'm having a "lively" discussion with my Ex-DH (okay, on advice, I saved my version in drafts after our phone calls.) So, my night has been spent NOT-SENDING snarky emails. Your post was a great diversion.

StepAside ... I'm on the red wine tonight. No bourbon. Never developed the taste. However, not all box wine tastes the same !

Teas83 ... I'd have preferred that but had to record "Madame Secretary" et al, so that I could deal with Beloved Bio Son's aftermath with ex-DH.

Dizzy ... If I'd have known that you were cross-stitch, it takes a special talent ... I love counted cross-stitch, but I have about a dozen unfinished projects. Good for you.

Kat67 ... Uhm, regarding kids, as soon as their eyes open up their mouths open ... just my experience. Enjoy your sequester.

Whoo-hoo ... I'm in under the "what you doing tonight" wire. As I mentioned, I have been writing snarky emails to my ex-DH (and saving them in ) after a few phone calls and the return of our son to this house. Big glass of red wine. We have been divorced for 10 years and I am still sucked into the defensive mode. I hate it.

Sunday night. Kidlet has been in bed for hours with unfinished homework. He is aware of the rare conflict between ex-DH & myself. SO wisely keeps his mouth shut and wishes me "Goodnight." Reading this forum, I wonder sometimes how much " our Ex's, and 'shoulda, woulda, coulda, but had a great time anyway's ... " really affect the rest of our lives. When you get to be my age, there is more baggage I guess. Perhaps that's another post for another evening.

I'll be cooking fettuccine alla tomato boscaiola and crocheting a birthday present for my sister. Maybe I'll throw in something delightfully violent like The Following.

Chasing my bride around the house and everywhere else for that matter. The empty nester years are awesome!!!!!! If we were somehwere that we could a nice gourmet dinner with a notable number of cocktails would be on the agenda.

So I suppose we will just settle for the gourmet dinner and put the cocktails on the back burner for now.
