My head's a jumbled mess.  I start the drive to Colorado one week from tomorrow, and I had my final couple's counseling appointment with Chris yesterday morning.  It was strange seeing him after two months apart.  The appointment itself was just awkward.  I was hoping that seeing his face would m...

Today was Olivia's going away party, so I've been down in Alexandria since about noon.  After the shindig, I headed back over to Rob's with them for some coffee and playtime with his pups.  While I was there, Chris unexpectedly called.  I debated on answering it, but given I was with my brother, ...

Today is Thursday and our Thursdays are now visitation days as opposed to our Saturdays. I usually dread them but now they're becoming our new normal,rapidly. It happened for me sooner on some things than others, but this one feels like the last big one for awhile. When we get to HippeKid's first...

I returned to university January 2016. I went to community college for 2 semesters 10 years ago. Then there was some weirdness with financial aid that prevented me from continuing. My first year was free as my father filed bankruptcy after the housing market crash and a house fire that destroyed ...

I have been Mrs. G. for nearly four years. It's good to be back on Open Diary. I have to change my name, though. SO much has changed, as I'm sure it did for many of you in the past five years, who find yourself returning to the haven that was your online journal. I…
