The Dog Ate My Vibrator

Okay, not really, it was a coaster. I just was thinking I should write a book about becoming a single mom and when the dog ate the coaster, I came up with that funny title.

Technology is a wonderful thing. It brings the world together and frankly, I wouldn't have a job without it. However, some of this "connecting" is not so great. Today, I saw on facebook my soon to be ex hubby--not even divorced is looking for singles online and his status is single and dating...............arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Here are the things I miss about having stbeh around:

• took out the trash
• walked the dog
• carried in the heavy groceries
• hung the Christmas lights
• changed light bulbs that were up high
• could put my cold toes on his back at night to warm them up
• watched some really cool stuff on the Discovery Channel and History Channel
• going to the movies
• keeping up with football
• okay, he really could make me laugh

Things that are better with him gone:

• don't argue about when he will take out the trash
• don't argue about when he will walk the dog
• don't argue about --see all the above hahahaha
• my self esteem
• cleaning, no dirty socks on the floor
• dish washing, I don't have any forks to wash
• yelling and name-calling
• my creative spirit
• sleeping in the whole bed

I did marry him knowing he had a temper. I did not know he would go to Iraq and come back devastated by PTSD. I did not realize how emotional abuse evolves. But he and I did one thing right. Our daughter is so beautiful....did I mention she is smart? She has his good looks and I hope my personality so we did right.

Okay, so I have cold toes....socks to bed because me and my daughter are better off taking out the trash ourselves. And I will just have to keep the dog out of the bedroom.
