...at least it feels that way. lolol Just thought I'd drop in today and give an update since I'm home suffering from Life Burnout and a miserable sore throat.
First of all, xSO and I are back together. We have done a lot of talking the last few weeks and are on the same page on a lot of things so far. We never stopped caring about each other and are taking steps back towards each other very slowly. Its working out well because we can get together and then we can go home to our own places. I love it - no smelly socks laying around here and he doesn't have to look at feminine hygiene products in his medicine cabinet.
Work has been nuts. We had a Corporate Audit start two weeks ago and I think I still have the latex burns from the very thorough examination I was given. They hadn't been to our facility in 6yrs, the Financial Mgr that transferred in flunked his last audit at his last place, so they went full bore trying to find something. The only dept that they *didn't* nail on something was MINE. Wooo Hoooo! Suckers - better luck next time!
The neighborhood is going thru some changes. The brats 2 doors down moved out yesterday - the ones that have the kid that stands on peoples porches and screams for no apparent reason? Those brats. The guy next door sent his family down to Mexico beginning of June and has cut his grass 2x since. The kid who gets dropped off in the neighborhood by his drunk mom and who proceeds to mooch meals, money and places to sleep every night, went on a trip to the beach with BFs kids and the kids mom, and proceeded to start a fire in the hotel room. Nice huh? BM caught it in the wastebasket and went off on the kid, who she took on the trip despite mom not sending the kid with a change of clothes or spending $. Needless to say one more incident caused by this child has a couple of the neighbors prepared to call CPS.
Ah well.... its amazing how life can go from being very calm and quiet and then all of a sudden things get very active very quickly. Thankfully I think things are slowing back down again.
I hope everyone else is doing well?!

Hi Renee,
Sounds like you have the best of both worlds re: with dating the S/O but keeping separate residences :). Also congrats on doing well with the audit. Must be a relief to have it over and done with and to know you passed!

That's the one thing that divorce has done for me: the big picture perspective. Married and family at a young age kept my vision very narrow. Congrats Renee! on the trial reconcile and the work success. You seem to be living - living on a healthy level with wisdom and experience. That is all something to be proud of.

xSO and I are back together.
------------> I am mostly happy and a little scared for you.
We never stopped caring about each other
------------> You are my favorite love story.
Work has been nuts.
------------> The best tool in my computer toolbox is a hammer. Feel free to beat those servers into shape.
Renee,
Oh my goodness! I kinda figured when you dropped off the face of the earth that things were either going really well or????
I am glad it is really well. Are SO’s boys staying w/ him over the summer? How is that working out for him?
Hopefully, nice little old childless retired ladies will move into your neighborhood. You could use the break.
Be well. You deserve your happiness and more.

Thanks PR! I'm still around - I was just pulling 12 - 16 hr days prepping for audit and a couple of other work projects.
As for the boys staying w/ dad for the summer, they live with dad full-time. The CO says 50/50 but BM has never wanted 50/50. With her work schedule and social schedule she has been known to go weeks without seeing them, and dad doesn't really mind, as he'd rather have them with him anyways.
I don't quite get it myself, but its their divorce, their custody issues and their kids. They have to do what works for them. And since dad and boys don't live *here* anymore its not my problem or place to deal with it. Thank Gawd for small favors, ya know?
