We did it, we're HOME! The good and the bad lol...
Comments (13)Thanks everybody! LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering the echo effect right now. I found out today that my furniture's not coming until mid-November!! Also, what really worked for us and our cats was to lock them in one of the bedrooms while we moved. Then after everybody had left and we were getting ready for bed, that's when we actually let them out. It was quiet all night for them while they got to explore their new home. Charliedawg, I saw your pics very soon after you moved in and am jealous how you got rid of your boxes so quickly. I must have re-organized my kitchen a 100 times already lol. Here's a cute picture! Somebody better explain to Duke that he is a CAT and not a MONKEY lol....See Moreloveless/sexless marriage
Comments (12)What a terribly sad post. First, because there's a good possibilty that your husband has health issues that should have been addressed many years ago--but neither of you cared enough to see that he got diagnosed and treated. Second, because your children have been raised in a househoold where there was no love. They haven't seen or learned what it means to be a loving partner in a relationship. Just because they've never seen you fight, does NOT mean they're unscarred by the situation. We learn how to treat our spouses by how we see our parents interact. They're going to have a tough go of it in their own marriages, I fear. I know at this point, you're looking out for yourself and your future, but if you have any feelings at all for the man you married, concieved children with and have lived with all these years, do one last thing for him. Drag him or drug him (only kidding about that last) but GET HIM TO A UROLOGIST for a complete, thorough check up and go into the appt. with him, and tell the dr. that hubs has had no sex drive for the past however many years. It's the least you can do for him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be too worried about the kids--they're not stupid, they know your marriage has been a sham and that neither of you are particularly happy. They'll probably be glad you're both looking to making yourselves a better life for the future. Kids usually know a lot more about our marriages than we give them credit for--trust that if they love you, they'll want you to be happy. No one else's opinion really matters, does it? But if you do tell your relatives what you've told us here, and they lose respect for you--it will most likely be for the fact that you've both put up with a terrible situation, and inflicted it upon your children--NOT for seeking to make changes to make your life better. You've definitely got to do something. Just make sure that whatever you do, it's the right choice, because often, we can't go back down the road we've left. Take your time, evaluate your options and your finances very carefully, get good advice (both personal and legal), and only once you've gotten all your ducks in a row, make whatever change you feel is right at this time. As far as the finances go? I do know some divorced couples who continue to share the marital home--each having their own sections (sort of like apts) of it. You and your husband might--given your lack of emotional discord--be able to make that work. It's a bit unorthodox, but definitely a little easier financially, if you could swing it. Good luck....See MoreWe're home again! Lots of pics
Comments (22)I would take it with me every time! If you don't you are stuck in one place, and there are some places you CAN'T take the rv. This makes it much easier to see things around you, go to the grocery, laundry, ect, while home stays put. You can base in one place, and travel 100 miles in one direction one day, and do it again the next in a different direction. Glad everyone enjoyed the pics! Tami...See MoreWe're home!!
Comments (6)Glad you had a wonderful time! Welcome back... although I don't think it is as relaxing and fun here as it sounds like it is in Homosassa. :)...See More
9 years agoNot much to tell. Tobey surprised me with a trip to visit my step son in Florida. We had a wonderful time, and I got caught up on some reading and just relaxing while there. We went out to an upscale restaurant one time, for which we dressed up for, but that wasn't necessary as most patrons were dressed on the more dressy / casual side. But the seafood was amazing. We drove on down to Cape Coral to visit a friend I went to HS with. and I got a few photos of the Skyway Bridge on the way.
I tried to get phots at night with the colored lights lighting it up, but none came out very good. too blurry.
It's good to be home. but now need to pack again to go to Kansas to visit my niece for a few days. Tobey, has a few doctor appointments before we go, one with a cancer specialist. Then home again to get started with redoing some of the landscape here at home. Tobey has cataract surgery scheduled for May before heading out to Iowa in July. Then west to Yellowstone with the kids. We'll take the RV for that trip. I am hoping we'll be home sometime in September to regroup and prepare to winter in Florida again this year. A least that's the plan so far, God willing.
