Yesterday I took the day off work. It was a planned day off for a "me" day. Needless to say, it did not turn out as planned. I had been suffering from bad allergies over the last several days and when I woke up, it had went into my chest. I had terrible chest congestion and... Continue Reading →
Going a different route
As stubborn as he is, it’s no wonder why he wanted to take another route. Let’s do things the hard way instead of getting things done much easier and in as little time as possible. Let’s just let time roll on by in hopes that airline ticket prices go sky high, so much in fact,... Continue Reading →
She still believes in the Easter Bunny
I asked her if she wanted to color eggs this year and her response was "I don't know what is wrong with me, I want to do it but I just don't feel like it. At least I know the Easter Bunny will be bringing me something." Every year I play the Easter Bunny. I always... Continue Reading →
He repeated what he read word for word
I sent him the link to the U.S. passport site to make it easier for him to understand why it is that I need him to complete the form. Well he ended up sending me an email word for word of what he read on the site. He even numbered the paragraphs. He then starts... Continue Reading →
He believes she knows why we left
I spoke with him briefly about the passport situation and reminded him that the authorization needed to be signed by him, notarized, and then sent to me. I told him he is holding up the process of purchasing her airline ticket and every day that goes by, the ticket prices go up. He said he... Continue Reading →
The echo in my head
I keep thinking about the conversation we had yesterday. The way he was acting and the tone of his voice brought back in memory a conversation we had about DD years ago. From the moment the conversation ended, I kept hearing the echo of the words he told me. "You can have her until she is... Continue Reading →
He has the power now
He never replied to my email and I was wondering what was going on. Does he just not want her to go and if not, why doesn't he just say so. DD had already informed him that she wanted to spend time with her aunt and grandfather. So it’s not like he has to be... Continue Reading →
The worry is forever there
Every morning I walk my daughter out to the street to see her off to school. I always hug her, tell her I love her and to have a good day. I constantly worry about her from the moment she steps into the street and heads for the bus stop. I even watch her walk... Continue Reading →
Back to the same old games
When will he ever grow up? I thought that this game playing would be over by now. We haven’t spoken to one another in almost two years and I just figured he would be much happier now and would no longer have the need to revert back to his old ways. But then again, maybe... Continue Reading →
Heart broken Greek Summer
I haven't sent my daughter to Greece for a summer vacation since she was 10. That was the only time she had returned since I brought her to the states. She is now 13 and is wanting to go for the summer to spend time with her Aunt and Grandfather (her grandmother passed away last... Continue Reading →
