I AM still here.

 Things have been crazy and busy and stressful at times. Things are getting better and things are going to be alright.

The kids are doing relatively well, although they have no problem pitting their Dad and I against each other over even the smallest crap. We all try and chat daily about things and keep tabs on what's going on and their Dad and I do the same. 

I’m going back on my word. I will discuss this a bit more.  

What seems odd to me is that some people or person, is under the impression that this decision to divorce was made as easily as deciding to color my hair, or mow the yard Wednesday instead of Thursday.  

By now many of you already know that I am getting a divorce.

Those of you who didn't, do now ! To say this hasn't been a long time coming would be a lie.

 There's not one reason. There are many. And, no ....no one cheated. I know, *I know a picture of me at the bar with two girls seems like such compelling evidence to make people think otherwise but I can assure you I didn't sleep with either one of them. *

Believe it or not. For two weeks I have had nothing to say. I mean, I have but sh!t gets all jumbled in my head and I can't even get it all out in a way that anyone would be able to comprehend.

 I will tell you this. Yesterday, I fixed my washing machine with duct tape.

Too the elation of some and dismay and shock of others I am alive. Hmph ! Too bad for some of ya ! Suck it !

 And, to the ones who missed me...give yourself a kiss or a hug, depending on how you feel about yourself I guess.

 I'm off to a weddin' in the yonder parts of Kansas this weekend. So, when you see a tractor, wheat field, farmer, opossum, fishing pole, or a tumbleweed think of me !

Have you ever gotten to the point that you are so mentally unstable that you can’t even listen to the radio ? Just out of curiosity.

I have. I’m pretty much there right now. To make it better/worse, I’m in the midst of a “country music phase”. Ugh.

We have the advantage of living across the street from a large park. All of the neighborhood kids go there and play, checking on them is as easy as walking across the street. Our oldest 4 and Barbie’s daughter all go there and play and hang out with their little friends.

Tonight is the opening night party for The Omaha Lit Fest !

I can honestly tell you that I was in tears last night as I watched Houston tap out because of a submission.  I'm so sad.

 Anyway, I uploaded part of the video last night, not the whole thing because who knew Youtube had a friggin' time limit for videos !?!? On top of that, they were undergoing maintenence and part of the video is wonky. Whatever !

Part 1 is here. HOUSTON ALEXANDER

 Sorry, I can't embed it !

Yes, I know. The video blog isn't up yet. Crazy damn weekend. Ok ! ? I had work to do, and have more today but I am trying to at least get the raw footage up sometime today. I'm still gonna mess around with what I have and make it shorter and more fun, like me !

 Oh, speaking of fun. Here's a pic of Barb, Brandy and me from the other night. FYI When you are taking pictures with the waitress because she's your new BFF, it's probably time to go home. I'm keeping that in mind for next time, apparently you need to live and learn sometimes !
