Life sometimes really sucks!

The last few weeks have taken me back about 12 years. My-ex husband's (new) wife rings crying her eyes out and wanting advice on what to do about her alcoholic husband. What's with that? I divorced him all those years ago to get away from all of these, but because we share children, I've never really been able to let go.

Anyway, in a drunken stupor, he tried to commit suicide, etc. etc., she kicked him out, he's staying at his Mum and Dad's, the story goes on. He then shows up on my doorstep (when we first separated he used to show up drunk all the time) and I nearly had a heart attack. Fortunately he wasn't drunk, he just wanted to talk to the kids and apologise (again) for letting them down.

He finally checked into a Rehab Centre. He is in his second week and he rings every day to speak to the kids. He then wanted them to go there for a lunch date but our daughter refused to go; the first time ever she has stood her ground. I got calls from his wife, his mother etc. Put right in the middle again.

Next week, we face him coming out and I have no idea how to handle the situation of him and the kids etc. It has just upset everything.... including my scrapping. I haven't been able to focus and am sad all over again. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day... I keep praying for a resolution, maybe one day!

My day...

I had a bad day today.... still unsettled in my new job.... still worried about the kids at School, etc. etc. I came home and tried to scrap and couldn't.... so I made a couple of cards, that was good.

First Blog Posting

Can't say I've ever done a blog before... but it seems like a journal type of thing? Well, here goes... I invited my sister and friend over for scrapping yesterday and it went "ok" but I just can't seem to create with others around; probalby too self conscious??

Oh well.... I finally was able to scrap the photo of my Nan... she died nearly two years ago and the photo was taken on the day she died.... I did the Eulogy and it was the hardest thing to do, but I got through it and I'm glad of that.... anyway, I am please with the result and will upload it here when I get a minute...

Got my new Camera.... now feel inadequate because it is really complicated.... DH says, just take photos and you will learn along the way... but I wanna be good now!! Impatient much???

Anyway, bed-time for this little black duck!!! Happy blogging and I hope you all have a great week!
