Happy HNT!




So here is my HNT posting for this week. This was something I swore to myself that I would never do, get a tattoo with a name in it. Well 3 years ago I went and did it. I got my wifes name tattooed on me. Now since she has left me, I need to figure out what I should do. Do I just get the name covered, do I get the whole thing covered up, or do I get something like a broken heart tattooed over it with her name still showing? I'm up for ideas, so if anyone has any, drop me a comment! Bet you didn't know this was going to be interactive today did you?!

confused again

Well here I am, confused again. I'll explain. Yesterday my wife called and was real nice on the phone, then she asked if I could watch our daughter for a few hours in the evening because she had a study group for one of her classes. Thats cool. I get to see my daughter for a few hours. So she says she will bring her over about 6 or 6:30. Ok by me. about 5 she shows up to drop her off. Not a problem. She even made chicken and dumplings and brought them over for me to eat. Wow. Dinner and time with my daughter! On her way out she mentioned that our daughter still had to do her homework so I got her book out and looked at what she had to do. She failed a math test so she had extra work to do so that she could retake the test. She wasn't happy about having to do it. She was still working on it when her mom came to pick her up about 7:30. When I opened the door for my wife I could see that she had red eyes like she had been crying. OK. It hurts to see it, but as far as I know it isn't my business, so I didn't say anything about it. She wanted to talk to me in private so we went back to the bedroom and she started showing me what paperwork I had to fill out for the divorce. Yay. Then she started in on me about "taking back the jewelry" and how it wasn't very nice, etc. So I took the bait and started arguing with her. Then I figured out that what she wanted was to argue with me, so I just said "fine, it was." And dropped it. Took the wind out of her sails. So then she started on something else. I just walked out so that I wouldn't get into an argument with her. If she wants to argue with someone, she can call one of her "friends" and start something with them. So now I am wondering why she was crying and why did she try to start an argument with me?

Anger?

Well this morning when my wife came over to get our daughter for school, she acted like she was mad at me. WTF?! I didn't do anything or say anything to her, she just seemed mad at me. How should I handle that? Any clues? Cause I'm just a dumb guy. What did I miss?

Phone call

Well I had a phone call from my sister-in-law last night. I talked to her for half an hour. She said that my step daughter is pissed off at her mom, my mother-in-law isn't talking to my wife, and both sisters are trying to "talk some sense" into my wife. I told them that they need to give her some space and not pressure her. Just give her love and support. Is that the right thing to do? Is that going to make her continue on the road she has chosen? I don't know. But the line that keeps coming to mind is, "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you they are yours. If they don't, they never were." All I know for sure is that it is very lonely at home. Make a nice day.

Weekend

Well my weekend was ok. Nothing great. I had my daughter all weekend though so that was nice. I already posted about my computer dying. Didn't do a lot of anything really though. Just me and my daughter hanging out playing games. Of course the fun was the fact that the nephew brought some girl home with him Friday night. Woke my daughter up about 0400. SHe is only nine but she wasn't happy about it. She let him know it too. When the girl finally did the walk of shame around 1 in the afternoon, my daughter just gave her one of those dirty looks. I had actually taken my daughter and went to run some errands so that they could get out of the house without too much embarrassment. They didn't take the opportunity though. After the nephew took her home he and I were talking and it seems as though he is seeing 3 different girls. Uh oh. Bad idea. It's his balls though. I warned him to be careful. Yesterday, I made some beef stew in the crock pot for dinner. My daughter wanted my wife to come over and eat dinner with us, so she did. I didn't do too well. The recipe wasn't that good. But we ate it anyway. We talked and laughed and had a nice dinner. After dinner, she wanted to take a few things with her, and she started going through the jewelry. When she initially told me she was leaving, she told me she didn't want any of the jewelry I gave her. Fine I told her I would put it away for our daughter. The stuff that wan't in the jewelry box got put away. Last night she started giving me a hard time and generally being a bitch about me "taking back" all the jewelry I gave her. I told her she was the one who told me she didn't want it. She then stated that if she had known it was conditional she wouldn't have accepted any of it. I was pissed then and told her that if I had known she was going to leave me, then I wouldn't have given the jewelry or paid for her tits. Then we both got quiet. I know I had to say something to stick up for myself and stop her from berating me, but I still felt like shit for saying it. After a while we were in the kitchen and she was getting ready to leave, I gave her a hug and told her I was sorry things were working out the way they were. When we separated I saw a tear in her eyes before she put her sunglasses on. I wish I could shut off my emotions and not love her anymore. After they left I had another sit down and cry. I guess I better go for now. Make a nice day.

Crash

Well I had a lovely surprise when I got home Friday. My computer crashed. Hard. The hard drive went, Buh Bye! I had to go buy a new one. So Friday night was spent reinstalling everything. Saturday was spent finishing it up and then getting all the data that I could off the old hard drive. Thankfully I recovered almost everything. I know there is some stuff that I haven't found that is gone yet. I will come across it soon though. Fun. Back to work I go.

Friday

It's finally the day we all look forward to. My daughter will be with me all weekend. Atleast until Sunday afternoon anyway. I really don't have much to write about today. We had briefings all morning, and we are supposed to have more this afternoon. Lots of fun. So I will stop now. Make a nice day.

Test

Well here is a test that my nephew emailed me. I scored a 568. Anyone else come close? Come on post your scores!! :)

Phone call

I just got a phone call from my wife. She wants me to swap nights with my daughter this week because she is out of school on Friday. So instead of having her tonight, I will have her Friday night and Saturday night. Now don't get me wrong I love my daughter and want to spend as much time as I can with her, but I had planned to go for a bike ride Saturday morning. I'm sorry, but she just isn't up to riding 22 miles. I reminded my wife about my bike rides and she told me that she would be willing to come over and watch our daughter on Saturday morning. As long as it wasn't too early. Why do I get the feeling she had intended to come over anyway? I know she probably needs to do laundry, and there is probably something else she wants to take with her. Oh well, I will take what time I can get with my daughter when I can. She won't be a little girl much longer. Tell someone you love them!

Happy HNT!

Well here is my post for today. It is up to you to figure out if I am Half-Nekkid or all nekkid. No haters!

OOOPPPSSSS!!!

Yeah I just had a brain fart and caused a big oops at work. I put in a request to shut down a rack of servers so we could move some power to another circuit. I got word back shortly before the requested time that it was approved. I forgot to tell my many managers what we were doing and by the time they figured out something was going wrong, I had the servers back up and running. So I got my ass chewed for actually doing my job. The captain was upset because I was going to get him fired. Yeah right. If anyone is getting fored over this it is me. Please let them fire me!! I'll go pick up trash or something for a few months before they put me back in charge. Give me a vacation! The captain wasn't happy when I informed him that I had found it easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission! But hey, I had a good time! :)) Ha Ha!!

Weekend

On Saturday I went to Sam's to get a new kitchen table. When I checked out I was told that my card was rejected. WTF?! So I had to go to the membership desk. It was rejected because the bill wasn't paid last month. Funny I don't remember charging anything on it. Turns out my wife chaarged some stuff on it but never paid it. Lovely. So I had to go to an ATM and come back with a payment so I could put more money on it. Just great. I finally got the table home and put it together. Without the leaf in it, it is rather small. With the leaf in it though, it seems rather large. Oh well I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Make a nice day.

In-Laws

Well my wife finally told her family that she left me. Her mother and both sisters all called me to find out if I was doing ok. A couple minutes after I got off the phone with her mom, my wife called me and asked me why I told her mom that she was seeing someone else. Funny, I don't recall telling her mom that. Then she tells me that her mom asked her if she had met someone else. So I guess she assumes that her mother and sisters don't know her. I was going to write that I wish I had known her like that so I wouldn't have had to go through this pain, but, I don't believe that. I would gladly go through the pain again because it was worth it. Even if all I have left is my daughter and a lot of pain, it was worth it. I just wish the tears wouldn't come so easy. Men aren't supposed to cry.
