Hi everyone, we just got back from taking Maddie to the pediatric ER. She was up all night with a fever and crying. We suspected an ear infection. I was up with her so I am sooo tired. Anyway, she has an ear infection, so we just gave her some amoxicillin and we are going to put her down for a nap in a few.

What fun on a Sunday!!

I need extra kitties today.

Thanks GD, she had one about a month ago, and the amoxicillin worked fast. We took her to the ER since I didn’t want to wait till tomorrow to call her Dr and then try to fit her in tomorrow. I also didn’t want her to have another horrible sleepless fever filled night. So we bit the bullet.

Oh, I can relate to the cheating–been there, done that! I sometimes wish we could use them like they use us-and get away with it!!

Thanks, all. As for my brother loaning me the money for the car, I had emailed him and asked, but hadn’t gotten a response until yesterday, so I had thought he wasn’t able to help me out.

Karen, “BF” has managed to remain friends with a bunch of Exes, so that’s why I had figured it would work even after I ended the relationship with him. It got very ugly with my Exes after we broke up and I really didn’t want that to happen again.

I’ve pretty much decided that if I hear from him, I’ll go get the training in tomorrow, and if not, forget it. I looked at my finances, and if I can find something close to my office, I would be able to afford to move to a nicer place, hopefully around May 1st. I won’t be able to afford a car (or much else), but at least I’ll get a nicer place to live, which is a consolation.

MMM, the new job was working the front desk at the gym where “BF” works. I was also supposed to work with him, the trainer I worked out with on Friday (I still hurt all over!) and a local teaching pro on selling a new brand of racquet and promoting the specialized tennis work-outs the gym and this trainer do. I have many contacts among my fellow tennis playeres and some teaching pros, so in addition to working at the gym, I was going to work with tham on that and earn a commission on it. I wouldn’t do this racquet and work-out promotion, but I figured I could still work the front desk at the gym, since I really won’t have to work with “BF” there.

Karen, I did the workout on Friday fot the first time with the trainer, and though it was tough and I’m still sore, it was great! Everything we did could be directly translated into tennis movements etc.

Actually, the trainer just left me a message to see how I’m doing. He wants to set up another workout session. Guess he hasn’t spoken to “BF” or “BF” has no clue I’m mad enough at him, to be ready to just dump it all.

I’m sorry BF is mucking this up for you..I wish you wouldn’t let him..I really think you should go for this. I know you won’t be sorry……If it really doesn’t work out..then you can turn and walk away but I have a feeling this is the beginning of something you should be doing….Honest, I have good instincts GD…something is tickling my inner ‘somethin’ and saying you’re a natural here.

I’m glad you are thinking carefully about this new job opportunity, GD. Are you sure there would be no contact with BF there? As long as the situation is healthy for you, go for it. We are behind you either way!

Did he even acknowledge that he had done wrong by you when you confronted him? Sorry to be unfluffy, but I am angry about his treatment of you!

The soreness makes me feel as if it really was a great workout, LV. If I hadn’t been sore, I would have felt as if I had wasted my time and energy.

KW, there really haven’t been much of a confrontation. Here’s the story – please tell me honestly if I’m overreacting:

“BF” has been really busy of late (as always). Among other things he was doing, he started giving tennis lessons to this woman “T”. There had been talk of “BF” getting certified to teach tennis, so I figured this was a good idea. However, it seems as if “T’s” name has come up a lot lately. He also has been wanting me to get out and hit with “T”, so we can both work on our tennis games. Well, Friday, he drove me to work after I trained at the gym. He said he was going to get some stuff done around the house, and to call him after an hour/an hour and a half for a ride home. Well, I called him as I said I would, and he said he’d come pick me up. He said he was bring “T” with him and that we’d finally get a chance to meet. I figured (hoped?) he was going to go give her a lesson. Anyway, the two of them come pick me up at the office, all dressed up to go out for dinner! (“BF” hasn’t had time to take me for dinner in at least 3-4 weeks, and when he does, it’s in shorts and a t-shirt for a trip to Outback or Friday’s or something.

I hopped in the back and told him he should have let me know he was busy and my Boss could have taken me home. He said it was no problem. I was pissed and he could tell. He tells me they are going out for dinner at the beach and ask if I would like to come. Heck no! I told him that sounded wonderful, but that I was going to have dinner at home. This “T” was overly friendly and kept chatting with me, not that I answered with more than a word or two. She asked about my workout with the trainer, and told me she’d have a talk with him and kick his behind if he had been too rough on me, so that made it sound as if she’d been brought in to the gym and all, too.From their conversations, it was easy to see that they’ve spent quite a bit of time together – there was mention of friends and family members etc. At one point they were talking about playing tennis this weekend all three of us – I didn’t even bother to answer.

When I was dropped off, I told them “Enjoy” and walked off. I’m really not a rude person, but I was SO pi$$ed off!

I never go out with guys who see others at the same time – I can’t understand how you can give a relationship a chance if you can’t give the other person 100%. What I really didn’t get was this chipper “T”. No idea why she was so “friendly”.

I’ll see what happens when eventually I do talk to “BF”. I may just be too mad to save anychance of working at the gym.

Karen, I do think this would be a great opportunity for me, especially since we can change my hours to the morning instead of evening. I’ll just see what happens! If it doesn’t work out, at least I’ve figured I can still afford to move somewhere better, and console myself with thet.

GD, personally I don’t think you are overreacting. You KNOW when something is up. If he can take this “T” to dinner on the beach, but you get shorts and Friday’s, something is amiss. I say good riddance and you should find someone that you, Bob and Mi deserve 🙂

Sorry, I had to put my 2 cents in. I have been there before and I can feel everything you did as you sat in the back.

sounds like my ex-fiance. Oh GD, the things I let him get away with because I didn’t stand up for myself. Even if you ex is not cheating, he is cheating emotionally and mentally and that is just as bad. I am glad you stood up, took a stand and said..no. I think if you can work around him at the gym, go for it. You need the money and a better place to live. If we had an extra car, GD, I would gladly give it to you.
