Can we also get a figure on all the time saved not having to spend that de rigeur half an hour shooting the breeze with your Man before you can get your score and leave? Because that’s not good productivity.

And then you left your husband? Right?!?

I’m feeling pretty (cautiously) optimistic right now. Physical therapy has been going great, and I JUMPED for the first time in a little over 4 months! Seems like a small thing but in recovery from a shattered lower leg, it’s a big deal - the idea of jumping is very scary because even though logically you know your…

OH! I did this earlier this week. BUZZ CUT!!!!:

This is the real story and I want more coverage of it!

FUN FACT:

So basically if you wind up not telling them, it’s not to save their feelings, but because you’re afraid they’ll leave you (which they would have every right to). My ex was someone like you: they cheated on me and I had to find out for myself. He said everything you’re saying now: “it was a one time mistake, I was…

Have you considered that in a year (or less, depending how recently she turned fifteen), she’ll probably be able to help you drive the younger kids around?

I trust they’ll figure something out.

I kept my name and my kids have a different last name. I thought it would bother me, we went back and forth on hyphenating and in the end we went with my husband’s last name. And in the end it was no big deal. I’m Mommy 24/7, it’s nice to have a bit of my own identity.

I was just thinking that. Like, this young woman isn’t even 16 and she’s educating herself on feminism and its ideals and how it affects the world that she lives in. I wish I was that aware when I was her age.
