Morning Festive...I love March as its the start of getting back doing outside activities...Have a fantastic weekend Festive:)
I agree! Even though we have had a lot of loss in March (My brother & then my Dad) it's kind of like the "light at the end of the tunnel" month as far as weather. (No pun intended) We can have some awesome weather & we can have some terrible cold weather but we usually start seeing more sunshine - and longer days. Hoping for awesome weather this year! We were married in March. It was supposed to be a cloudy, rain all day kind of day. I woke up to SUNSHINE!! Then it snowed & was SO windy...then it rained at night! We hit it all! :p:D

 
Good morning!

What a busy day I had yesterday. Got a lot done, but still a lot to do. Kind of a day off today, but I am sure I will do something store-related before the day is out. Tomorrow I hope to go somewhere and get my computer updated ~ doesn't seem to work well at home any more.

Have a safe and merry day!!
Hope you have a wonderful day Meceka!

Good morning everyone. I hope your weekend is filled with joy.
Good morning! Happy Saturday!

Good Saturday Morning MMC! Superbowl weekend is here. We're through our first work week of the month and now I hope you all will enjoy this weekend. It's cold this morning here but a nicer semi-mild afternoon is expected. I'm enjoying some french toast and home fries now. Delicious. Should be a low-key weekend which is my goal usually. Sounds like next week we're in for some more snow. They don't sound to know if it's going to be a lot or just consistently getting some snow a few days next week. For what was a very mild autumn and early winter we've kind of settled back into some decent cold/snow the last month (on and off at least). Can't complain though cause it's winter but I just wish it had done this in December instead!
Have a great Saturday everyone!
Have a great day Edge!

Good Morning, Folks.
Drawing nearer to our second Milestone of 2016.

But first, we must inspect today's numbers:
Days to the Season: 281
Days to Christmas Day: 323

Now that that's been taken care of, we can discuss the looming proximity of our next Milestone, the ONE QUARTER point to the Season.
And an examination of our Countdown chart reveals that this auspicious marker lies just SIX days ahead -- less than one week off!!
(Time sure comes and goes quicklly around here.)


Well, the rain departed at last and was bidden farewell by cold weather which has taken its place.
Currently, we show 31 degrees here with colder temps predicted shortly.


One more day to go before Super Bowl Sunday!
In the meantime, you have a Sensational Saturday, Friends.
Happy Saturday Crown!

 
Afternoon buddies,
Pouring rain and stormy here. Needed to pop out for some medication for my eldest and a few bits. It was meant to be a quick half hour pop out.

The car stalled in the car park of the shops and wouldn't start. We only had a flat last sunday.Two flats in one month and now this. Grrrrr!

Mr Festive is at the car park now waiting for a local garage to assist. Might be the battery but who knows.

So not much of an easy breezy Saturday here but compared to what some are going through it is only trivial.

Hope you are al enjoying a pleasant Saturday.

Snowflake I hope you are getting some much needed rest.
Hope your hubby is back on the road quickly & your eldest is better quickly too!!!!
 
Thank you.
It was the battery. They were able to jump start it and take it back the garage for a new battery. Luckily this garage was nearby so it all worked out. Better it happen today rather than on the way to work. Going to try and enjoy what's left of our Saturday. I am in work tomorrow and not ready fot it :D

Have a lovely weekend! Glad to hear Maggie had a better night. Hope tonight is even better.
Great to hear!!

And I agree HMG - I'm glad Maggie had a better night!
 
Merry Saturday!
We have storms moving in. I don't want to leave the house today but may have to nip out briefly.

Superbowl tomorrow! This is kind of like the first milestone event in our house. Next up will be the kids's half term break which follows in a week, then the clocks change and then Easter!!!

Can't believe their half term holidays are almost here! Feels like they just went back to school after Christmas.

Happy Saturday, friend~

Stay safe in the storms today!

I can't believe tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday. Time is flying.
It's nice to have so many milestones, both here on MMC and with our own at home- you look forward to each one and checking it off your list, too.

Hope you guys have a relaxing & cozy day!
 
Snowflake, sending up prayers for Har, Ken, Adi and you. Sending much love, strength and big hugs (((HUGS))) to you. God bless, my friend.

Holiday, sending up prayers for your SIL and you and your family. Sending much love, strength and big hugs (((HUGS))) your way, too. Blessings, my friend.

Merry, SnowflakeMom, Edge, HmG & everyone in the path/aftermath of storms, keeping you and your families in my prayers.
Good Morning, Meceka~
Thanks so much, we appreciate them immensely <3

*Hugs* to you & Palmer!
 
I know that my friends here over the years here, have been wondering where I have been. Well, I sort of had to take a leave of absence from here, to spare all of you from my internal torment/ hell that I have been going through, because I had Christmas and my Christmas spirt, forcibly removed from my heart and soul this past Christmas....

I have stayed in touch privately with a few, very personal friends here, that have been trying to help me (in ways) to find a logic, a reason, to try to help me to find me again, to help me hold onto my hopes, my dreams, my beliefs and my faith. For you see, I was blind sided, the day after Thanksgiving, (without any warnings) with my wife of 23+ years of leaving me and my (2) adult children (ages 21 & 23; that live with me at home here) forever. My world had been turned completely upside down in about the same time as a flash of lightening. I came home from work to a note on the kitchen counter, informing me that she had left us and most likely will never come back.

I have been in hell since that day. My Christmas, my Christmas season, my beliefs, my life was thrown in the trash can that day. I have been in vain, ever since that day, of respecting my wife's wishes by not bothering her, trying to communicate with her, per her wishes and orders, I had left her alone so that she could think and not feel pressured by me or anyone else, etc... I have been taking care of our home, property, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, kids, work, life, etc... all by myself, doing everything by myself. It has not been easy, but I have been doing it and managing it very well for, well, a man....

My wife, is a recovering alcoholic. My children and I have spent the last 5-6 years of trying to get her sober and to help save her life. At one point, she was drinking a fifth of Captain Morgan's spiced rum every single night. It was a nightmare, but I stayed with her, helped her and with my love for her and my faith in god and our marriage together, after 5-6 years we did it. She has been sober for two (2) years now, so at least I think.....

I have never, ever, ever, strayed from her, never have kissed another woman in passion, never verbally or physically abused her or my children. I always respected her wishes, instructions and did as she asked of me to do. I do not drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't do drugs, I believe in god, I come home every night from work to my family, I do not go to bars, nightclubs, etc...I gave my paycheck completely to my wife every payday to pay bills, buy groceries, things, etc.... I have tried in vain, to live and to be a good man, good husband and a good father... And look what it got me in the end, heartbreak......

I have been lost, living a life of purgatory for about 10 weeks now, trying so hard, every day, every night, praying, hoping, trying and also with the help of a marriage counselor to find a path, a way to help my wife come back home to her family...

My wife and I sat down together last Sunday, for the first time together alone since she left to talk. It did not go very well. I completely disagreed with her on her points of view, her logic and her conclusions that she wants to end our marriage forever... YES, that is what she told me, she does not want to come back. She told me these awful things:
  • She does not want to stay married.
  • She wants to live life for her and do what she feels is in her best interests.
  • She does not miss me.
  • She does not love me.
  • She does not miss our home.
  • She does not miss anything that is in it.
  • She does miss our children, but even they, as she said, are not enough for her to come back home.
  • She said I was a good man, good person, good father and a good husband.
  • She has no intentions of ever coming back home.
  • And she is living her life for herself now, doing what she wants to do, when she wants to do it, how she wants to do it. She said right now, her own interests mean more to her than her family.
What else can I say. But you know, even then, after all she said, I still didn't give up hope. we both were to speak to the marriage counselor last week which we did separately, and then my wife and I were supposed to meet today to talk once more. But, instead, last night I received this text message for my wife,

"I spoke to the marriage counselor last night. My mind hasn't changed since the day I left so I really don't see that there is anything for us to talk about until you accept this decision. you keep asking me questions that I have given the answer to. I'm sorry that you are hurting but from now on I have to do what's best for me!"

My wife has now decided my future, my children's future all on/ because of and for her own selfish and self-centered, self gratifying wants... I am alone now, I am lost, I have been and am trying to find a path, to learn how to live, breath, and function once more... I cry, I pray, I go to church, I wish, I hope, I have faith that everything now in my life, is in god's hands. I am trying to find the strength to live, but it is beyond anything and everything I have ever experience in my life. I am devastated, my moral destroyed, my heart broken, my faith tested, my desires and drives thrown out the window. I do have my children, which is a blessing and they want to be here with me, which I do thank the lord for. They mean everything to me and I love them both so much.....

I have never, ever, been is such a low place in my moral life, and that I could not find any Christmas in my heart this year.

I was supposed to of have been apart of the Christmas card exchange this year, but I didn't have it in my heart do involve myself, so I apologize for not sending any out this year. I did not send out any personal ones either...Christmas to me this year, never happened.

I am sorry for not being here, but I have been and am in right now, such a low point in my life, I just didn't want to bring everyone else down with me, nor be crying my troubles to everyone here, everyone has enough problems of their own. So, instead, I choose exile for myself, so as to spare each and everyone of you from my pain, my sorrow, my loneliness, my grief, my disbelief, my loss...

I do miss you all and being here, but It has been an awful journey/ path that I have been on and it was a place where I felt, you all need to be and remain happy in your lives and to not be on that road with me....

Me,

What do I do? I just don't know.
Where do I go in life? I just don't know.
How do I live? I just don't know.
Do I want to live, start my life all over again? I just don't know.
Where do I begin? I just don't know...
How do I feel? Numb, isolated, alone, abandoned and be-wildered. Lost in a vast empty sea...

I am not in a very good place in my heart, my soul, my mind, I feel lost, alone, sad, helpless, afraid and abandoned....

I felt that since my wife's answer now is absolute, today, for some reason, felt inside, that it was the day to share my personal life with you all. I do not know about anything anymore. I'm just trying to find my way.......


I love and miss you all.

David (Xmastidings)

Glad that you had such a productive day yesterday!
Enjoy your day off today.
Best of luck with your computer- they can be such a pain but we need them, too. Hope it gets squared away tomorrow.
Have a merry & cozy day!

Sorry to hear that, Sam. Thinking of you guys!
How frustrating!
Best of luck with the car, fingers crossed that it's a minor repair.

Drinks at The Pines are sounding better every minute.

Hope the meds work quickly for your eldest. Hugs!

We are taking it easy today, getting some laundry done and resting.
Thanks again for thinking of us.

Praying Har had a good night! Ken too! As well as you & Adi!
Thanks, Holiday.
She did okay. She didn't feel like sleeping with us, but slept on the floor next to me.
I took her out a few times, and she would go back to sleep.
Hopefully she's more comfortable soon, fingers crossed!
