Yesterday Duckie met with our lawyer and signed his part of the divorce papers! Now they just have to be filed with the court, then I sign them, then the lawyer takes them back to court.  A week or so after that, Miranda is a free woman again!  Keep your fingers crossed that all this will be done by the end of March! 

Things with Duckie have been really good lately.  I think he’s bounced back pretty well from his breakup. He even had a date Tuesday night that apparently went very well based on his Facebook status.  I really hope he is doing as well as he seems to be. Despite our differences and the $500 in alimony he robs me of every month (only 2 more years to go!), he is a nice guy and he deserves to have someone in his life that will be good to him.

It’s funny to think that a year ago I was literally salivating planning my move out in just two days time. Things were so AWFUL between us then. Duckie was more than a little scary at that point.  Leo’s birthday was just a week after I moved out and his birthday party was so painful and awkward. Duckie’s family wouldn’t come because they didn’t want to be around me and Sawyer and his family were there!  AGH!

Fast forward a year later, my affair with Sawyer is long finished but Duckie’s family still won’t talk to me. Well, to be fair, I have talked to his mom a few times but the rest of them have written me off for dead.  Not a problem for me personally, but it makes me feel bad for the kids around their birthdays and stuff. Leo’s birthday is next weekend and I really wonder if at least Duckie’s parents will come to the party together. 

Leo’s birthday brings up another conundrum. If, and let’s face it at this point it’s more than likely, I’m still seeing Coach, do I invite him to the party? I mean he’s been a pretty big part of the kids’ lives already but how weird would it be to have him and Duckie in the same room?  Of course I’ve been on the opposite side of the equation by being in the same room as Duckie’s girlfriend.  I guess out of courtesy I should ask Duckie if it would be too weird for him before I issue the invite to Coach.

Tonight Coach will be home so we’ll see how it goes being face to face with him after having some space this week.  It’s sure to be an eventful – and insightful – weekend either way!

    That;d be great if Duckie was cool with it, even better if perhaps he would have someone to bring. Kind of sends a message to the in-laws of "Hey, we moved on and can play nice in front of the kids, why can't you?"

    Yes it would be great if that would happen. I did find out yesterday that apparently Duckie's crazy ex has been trying to get back with him. Thankfully he seems to be staying clear of her. I'm proud of him for that!

Online Dating Duds

-
 After the Return of Sawyer debacle I went back to online dating and discovered a string of totally unsuitable and unappetizing guys but they gave me some good laughs. There was a friend of Peabody’s who remembered meeting me but I didn’t remember meeting him.   He was super conservative and a Trump lover but I went out with him out of spite just hoping it would get back around to Peabody.   We had a very unremarkable date in the small town I live in – again hoping someone would see me and get back to Peabody (I’m nothing if not a little petty).   We talked and he gave me a sob story about having a legit crazy ex-wife and wanted a lot of details about Peabody.   Gossip travels fast in this small town I suppose.   We kissed a little at the end of the night and it wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t anything to want to take your pants off about.   Then there was the vet, as in veterinarian, who was so old fashioned he didn’t have a cell phone – at least that’s what he told me.   But he als

Five months later

Here we are amost five months later. Jules is happily married and coping with Russell leaving the island. Gywn is bursting with pregnancy - shes having a boy! -and counting down the days till her hubby comes home. And Miranda, well Miranda is...happy. As strange of an emotion as she can imagine, Miranda is happy. Peabody has pulled out all the stops and completely committed himself to her. It's about damn time lol. Maybe fairy tales can cone true after all? Fate has taught Miranda to be cautious but she can't help feeling cautiously optimistic at the moment.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

-
It's another day in the neighborhood, won't you please be my neighbor? Ok, I date myself but I loved Mr. Rogers. So my new hood is rolling along nicely...I came home today to my new dog greeting me at my car, kids on my porch, and Gavin getting up to get me a glass of wine as I walked into the door. Then, the man did homework with my daughter. Homework is my least favorite time of the day and he totally rocked it. It was hilarious listening to him with her, but super cute too. I'll say it again...it doesn't suck to be me right now. I had to give Gavin some tough love tonight though and admittedly he took it better than expected. He continues to whine about what a horrible gf the gf is...I finally laid it out. I told him that I thought 99.9% of his current problems could in fact be traced back to her, that she's a toxic human being, etc, etc. (He did kind of ask...) I explained that I can actually remove myself and say this in an objective manner (hence why I'
