Jarrod's Dad and I are getting along. He finally apologized. There for awhile, he was telling Jarrod that he was going to take me back to court for shared parenting. So we were getting ourselves prepared for that. Cause I know that if he did, he would bring up me being gay, not that that means anything. But, people like that try to use whatever they can to make themselves look better. But, little does he know, that it just makes him look like a prejudiced ass that is not very educated. Anyways, I think that has passed. And I was surprised when he apologized. Wasn't expecting it. But I am glad he did. Makes it easier. Especially on Jarrod. I am now trying to get him to negotiate with me on visitation. I want things to be easier for him, for me, and definitely for Jarrod. We shall see where that goes. I have a feeling that if his wife has anything to say about it - things won't change. Cross your fingers that he will work with me on this.
I have gone off the soda/pop/coke/mountain dew. The last I had was a mountain dew at Jarrod's football game Saturday - the only one I had that day. And I have not had any more since. The headaches are almost gone. I am still getting some caffeine from tea. So I am sure that is helping. I am now drinking mostly water. And I have started back up on the treadmill. On Monday, I am going to start going to MikeTinaEli's (said as a runon cause that is how Gryfinn says it, as if they are one person - it is Kel's brother and his wife and their son) house and using their weight lifting thing. I am going to do that twice a week to start off, and might increase it to 3 times. And I am also warding off all things chocolate and super fattening. Which has been hard this week, since my period came yesterday morning. But, I have kept strong. And I figure, if I can be strong at my time of the month, when my body all but screams CHOCOLATE then the rest of the time should be a piece of cake! :-)
I also want to thank all of you who had such wonderful words of wisdom for those who have relationship woes. We all go through rough patches. And it is nice to know that it happens in even the most strongest, secure relationships. And there were lots of good ideas on how to keep connected. Thanks again! You all are great! :-)
Also - for those that were holding your breath for pictures - I sure hope you gave up! ;-) I had every intention of posting pic's while I was off work, buuuuttt, I just did not get on the computer. Well, I did once, and that was to look at a house for my sister/niece. But, I promise, they are coming! I have tons, from Caelyn's party, her 1 year pictures, from Jayk's party, from Gryfinn's party, from baseball, from the park, from playing outside, there really are tons. I may need to put together one of those montage things - and then that way those that want to see them all can sit through and see them all - and for those that don't they don't have too.
Ok - I have rambled on quite a bit, so I shall go. Until next time! Hugs!!
