How dumb am I?

Ok, Ex called last night and asked if I'd like to go to lunch today. I reluctantly said yes, 'cause it's not like I have a long wait of courters, if you know what I mean...He called this morning around 8 as he was leaving work, (he works nights), and left the message that I should call him when I get up. I called...and called again. No answer. Guess some things never change. My guess is he found a buddy that wanted to have a drink or two...
Now, here I sit, at almost noon, dressed up (even rolled my hair) and have nowhere to go. It's not like I don't have things to do around here, because there are always things that need to be done, it's the point...I feel so stupid. I know one thing for sure, he will have a great excuse.

First timer!

This is my very first blog. I'm not a writer, as you'll soon find out, but I do have a story. I know I am not alone. I am recently divorced after 15 years of being married to a man who happens to be addicted to pills and alcohol. When I married Randy (not his real name), I loved him so much and never dreamed things would turn out the way they did. I never thought I'd take so much crap from a man. Love makes us women do crazy things.
But, hey, I'm out of the marriage now, not the relationship, though. He does not live with me but of course, he wants his family back. I'm trying to move on, but like I said, love makes us do crazy things.
I started this blog for all us women who need to vent. My hope is that we can learn, grow, and gain strength from one another. Teresa
