It seems every time I try to start a blog/website/whatever, something happens. Then I go from having all the time in the world to none at all… or too depressed/manic to actually give a shit about updating. I get kinda bad about that. But I’m trying to work on things. And perhaps blogging will actually help since I never talk about things with people anyway. So here goes.
My “best friends” Jaymie and Tim are getting divorced. This comes as no shock. She’s a little girl who never grew up even though she’s now a mother of two and he was a boy who jumped into a relationship far too fast and got stuck when two wonderful little boys came along. Of course, he loves them more than anything. So he was trying to stick it out and “do the right thing”, but being together with her got to be too much. Of course there is much more to this situation and I’ve been along for the ride for three years as a very close friend to both to them, an amazing aunt to the children, and a roommate at times. But long story short, Jaymie decided to turn against me in the divorce. That even though I’ve been dating Tim’s best friend John and before that was in a 3 year on again/off again relationship with a douchebag, I’ve apparently found the time to have an affair with Tim. And I’m trying to steal the kids! So now my former “best friend” is supposedly filing a restraining order on me so I can’t see the kids. What the fuck?!
In the meantime, I’ve been seeing John (Tim’s best friend). It’s an extremely different experience leaving a man who treats me like his emotional punching bag and getting involved with a man who would throw his coat down over a puddle so I can walk in the rain. (Okay, so he hasn’t done that, but I joked once that its the only thing he has yet to do and he about did it! I told him not to be silly and I already feel quite silly that he feels the need to open every door for me and says “ma’am” all the time.) We have a lot in common (though I’m a Marvel and he’s a DC) and I don’t have to act a certain way around him. He loves that I’m such a big nerd – though he likes to tease me by buying me Pokemon cards every trip to Walmart – and he thinks the way I’m a bossy bitch is “cute and endearing”. We’ve been together two months and we’ve yet to get in a fight. That’s a world record in my book. All in all, I’m pretty damn happy with him. It feels good to be happy in a relationship… I forgot what that was like.
Of course, as things go, I can’t exactly leave this post on a good note: today I found out that my Grandpa Tom is on life support and we don’t think he’ll make it. Mum had to borrow money to get my father a plane ticket from Kuwait so he can come see his father. He’s in a hospital in Chicago. Lisa and Mike will be driving up on Saturday and I’ll be joining them (thanks to John). I won’t let this be like when Granny died. I want to say my goodbyes and promise him that I’ll stay sober through it all. I hit my one year on December 21 and I have to say he’s been a huge inspiration for me. I found out he had like 20 years sober or something? Don’t quote me on it, I can’t remember how many years. All I know is if he could do it, I damn well should too. So no matter what happens, I’m going to be strong for him. And I need him to know that.
Well, I think I’ve talked long enough. I’m determined to keep updating this thing, so maybe next time there won’t be so much to read.
EDIT: Excuse the theme. Its temporary while I figure out what I wanna do about my layout. I’m actually considering a downgrade; I’d rather do everything manually and spend ages coding then deal with Wordpress right now. I like div layers and it doesn’t seem I have the smarts to figure out how put Wordpress in such a manner. I’m not a fan of the template look. Maybe I’m giving up too easy, but if that [having a pretty... site] will help motivate me to blog, then the extra work is worth it.

Ha wow, isnt it awesome when best friends accuse you of sleeping with their husbands? Love it.
I hope he can pull through, but grandparents leave us all too often imo. I dont mean to sound so morbid, sorry.
And its so cute reading about you and John. I feel like we’re going through the same shit when I read this post
Except the grandpa thing, and I’m so sorry for that
Love the raindbow theme though
