There's this couple at my church who are getting a divorce due to the wife's infidelity. She's now with the other man and it makes me want to throw up. Infidelity usually gets me this way, but in this case it's more so. I've known this chick for most of my life and she WAS my older sister's best friend. She was notorious about "finding the one" when they were growing up and talking about marriage. She was one of the girls that believed that marriage would solve all her problems. She recited romantic movie lines, and just...was extremely naive. Well, she married a guy she said she'd loved since she was little even though there is a 10 year age difference. They had two kids. Unbenounced to anyone she had an affair last spring. She flippantly mentioned this to my sister, and my sister told her she needed to tell him and fix the problem. Well, nope. And this January she kicked her husband out of the house because she was tired of him "treating her like a kid".
I'm sorry, but that's NOT a good enough reason to get a divorce and split up a family. Her husband is a decent, good, man. There was no abuse in any way. And he had NO idea. Her husband was completely blindsided by all of this. What the crap. And then, a friend of mine posts something on facebook about there being no Happily Ever Afters in real life and this chick/whore and her new man have the NERVE to post about how they'll prove it wrong and all this other gross, hypocrytical stuff.
Look, there are good, reasonable reasons for divorce; this is not one of them. If you have a good spouse who does not abuse you or your kids, isn't hidding or harboring any dark secrets, isn't gambling away your money or financially crippling your family, I'd say the issues are pretty simple. And even in some of the cases I just listed, if the couple is willing to work through it, then there are other solutions than divorce.
I'm just disgusted by her.
Anyway, spent the night at our place last night. We unpacked some kitchen stuff. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels to see your own personal possessions again. Know that they are yours. Overnight we feel more like adults again. Oh, also, I talked to the landlady yesterday and she said that they'd allow my pets too! yay!
I just have to figure out about the utility bills and the satelite (apparently cable doesn't go out in the boonies), and hopefully internet hookup. Our landlords have dial up....UGH. umm...that won't work with our netflix. But there is a dish outside our house, so I'm assuming it just needs to be connected, right? I don't know.
Apparentely we have no pots...though I KNOW we had at least one because it was the one I kept having to wash almost everyday.
Also, whenever I let myself think about it, I get absolutely GIDDY about my sewing room. I mean, I am a pure ball of happy about it. All my fabrics organized by color and fabric types. I get to set out my brand new janome on a pretty table. I may ask my mom if I can borrow her serger until I buy my own. That's next on my personal wish list. We also need a couples dresser and another side dresser for all our clothes. We'd also like a big couch (we only have a loveseat). And I want to paint and put up pictures and junk.
We should keep an eye out for a bed for our guest room. Or we could just buy an inflatable, keep it in the closet and save the space for rest of the time when we don't have guests. Sounds good...and cheaper.
Also, my schedule for this month is weird--I have the 24-31 off completely. That's 8 days of solid homemaking!
We needs more monies. Is it the ends of the month yet?
