The insanity bubles just beneath the surface....

So I was doing a favor for my ex wife ( installing 2 - 75ft. dog runs ) in my free time before I go to work today ( oh yeah I'm sick too ) I was running tight on time so I was already flustered. Also I should mention I purchased these items as well and spent several hours running around town pricing them out. I told her I would do it today ( Mon. ) but I had many reasons / excuses why I could not today, but I chose to see about getting it done . In recovery I try to keep my word, and I seem to be able to do so when I'm sober. Not to mention all the dog crap that I managed to get all over me and my shoes and jeans from climbing the ladder

I should also mention that last night she gave me the what for, apparently for no reason.

So as some of you may know, after I was done, I started having the conversation before the conversation in my head. I was thinking " your effn welcome you !@#%^@$%&@#% ", then I stopped myself that instant, and said to my HP, thank you for letting me get this done in time. And w/ that it's like it all got better.

just thought I would share

Sounds like your ex is short on manners... Good for you in not reacting to her poop (or her dogs' poop!).

Expectations!

Sounds like she was all ready for you to fail her again. You didn't, but she still chewed you out.

Good for you on choosing to find the good in yourself, you followed through, not always easy to do. You deserve the peace that you felt.

Maybe next time she can install her own fences?!?

how does a dog poop on a ladder?

that's one unique mental image there, hon.

thanks for the share, though!

I got it on my shoes and there you will find the transfer of said feces from shoe to ladder. Plus the grass was all wet and blah...blah...blah..

Trying to be of maxim service these days, but the " old " me is still in there, and I believe it will always be in there.

Thus, my daily reprieve contingent upon my spiritual condition for this day

To keep my sanity, I kept my conversation's short as possible with my ex and only if, it had something to do with our kids. I was a drunk she was a 4 legged well you get the idea. I sobered up and she ah, oh well I'm not going there

that's why divorces cost so much, so two people that shouldn't be together any more don't have to be!!

Nice of you to have done this for her even if, your efforts weren't to appreciated

ah. okay. hey, some people go way over the edge with dogs, you know?

but thanks.

you know it was bothering me, cuz I came back to see what you'd said!

I think you'[re making a good point, actually
now that the whole dog thing is out of the way.

As we get further from our sobriety date
(Godwilling)
the 'new' person we're becoming
steps to the front
but the 'old' self ...
or at least certain aspects...
continues doing pushups in the back yard, huh?
And the being pressed for time, the stress...
made just enough of a crack for that old self
to make a peek into this world again, huh?

Good for you
the choice becomes easier as well.
Meaning the choice
to stop
\become quiet
and do the nest RIGHT thing.

It truly works.

thanks for sharing, and for the patience with me.


<---I like this guy.
