Continuing to get things done in the process of getting divorced.

-Opened my own checking
-Opened my own savings in town
-Opened my own ING Savings
-Helped DH open his ING Savings
-Closed HSBC Savings into ING Savings
-Opened my own Discover Card
-Potential roommate came and looked at the house and will be getting back to me on if/when she can move in, she needs to talk to her current roommates to figure this out.
-Appraisal came in on house so now just waiting for the closing date for the house to be done

Definitely getting things moving. Things with X have not been going great. I have been seeing a guy friend I knew 10 yrs ago who randomly came back into my life. I wasn't expecting this, but he is a great relief right now to have someone to talk to. He has also been divorced and has been giving me a lot of advice and guidance on dealing with things and also been nice to have someone to make me laugh and smile. X is less then thrilled with this....understandable....but YOU are the one that wanted the divorce so what did you think was going to happen?? Well, anyways I wanted to check in with everyone on how I am doing. Been super busy but doing alright and things are moving in the right direction.

Went to CVS today and they had TONS of polishes in the 90% off bin. My Mom was with me so we split it and I still got 27 polishes!

I got $142.02 worth of polish for $9.02!!

Obviously with everything being such a mess in my life right now my head has been scrambled. It's been effecting everything (forgot to pay some bills, tried to take the TV remote outside with me to mow the lawn, start driving to one place and end up somewhere else). It's also been effecting my softball a lot. I've been doing good with my defense, but have been a headcase with batting...I get on base, but not even close to my normal batting and haven't felt comfortable with my swinging.

Last night one of the girls on my team (who I told last week I am getting divorced) was telling me I am just thinking about it (batting) too much. I said My mind is such a mess, I can't do anything right now. She said just go up there and think "F it". About all of it...just think "F it" and I did!

First game I was 3-4, one hit away from hitting for the cycle (I missed the double). Second game 4-4. I hit 2 HRs in one night! I usually only hit 3-5 a season! So EXCITED! Again my HRs are not over the fence...I'm not very big, but I can hit it far enough over their heads and run fast enough that I can get all the way home. In the park or not I will take em! YEAH!

I went to the bank and opened my new checking account today. Also closed the mortgage checking account. I put in $100 from our joint checking (and gave DH a $100 to open his new checking). I also had $600 from a bonus I got and DH said I could take that money for myself, so now I have $700 in there.

Had an AWFUL day with DH. I am just so full of anger right now. He is still not owning up to friends and family about his actions....but throws me under the bus every chance he gets. I talked to his BF today who he supposedly "told everything to" and he didn't know the half of it.....as an example...DH likes to say "I texted inappropriately" Ummmm....NO! You texted MY COUSIN/BF what you wanted to do to her, and when she said "No...Banker Gurl is gonna kill you"....you said "Banker Gurl doesn't have to know". Just own up to what you did and stop acting like you just did tiny little things! (This is just an example...there are lots more and lots worse).

We have been dealing with this for 7 months and he has still not told either of his parents ANYTHING! They have no idea there are any problems and DH is just gonna drop on them that he is divorced.....wow, they are really gonna love that. They live 8 hrs away and are both alcoholics and I have thought about trying to call them, but who knows when they are coherent enough to comprehend, and he is their baby boy after all so I don't think anything good would come of it. I am sure they will blame it all on me....his mother has never cared for me (she showed up to our wedding wasted and yelled at me about the place cards until I cried....YES that happened!), his Dad loves me but I am not his child.

I called his sister a few weeks ago and she wouldn't talk to me.....of course DH told her my mistakes but neglected to mention any of his numerous problems, lies, cheating etc. Makes me SO, SO, SO mad. I know DH will tell only what makes him look like the less evil and sugarcoat all his wrong doings.

I told him this today when he was getting some more of his stuff. Got in huge fight and ended with him "Lets not talk anymore" Me "Finally we agree on something, have a nice life".

UGH. Whatever. Guess I know the truth and that is all I can deal with. Can't worry about all his friends and family that he lies to, most know the truth anyways since DH has cheated in front of lots of them in someway/shape/form.

But anyways glad to have one more thing done on the financial list. Checks are ordered (free from bank) and now my account is all set to go when I am ready for it.

Apparently I never stopped the auto-deposit to the Anniversary Cruise Fund. Guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore at another thing I forgot to do....so anyways here is a deposit for that. I plan on closing that account as soon as that deposit clears.
I also moved the $440 I had in at home savings to ING. I want to get everything into ING for now for ease when seperating.

Current Balance $32,245.00
+$100.00 to HSBC Anniversary Cruise
-$440.00 from Home Improvements (Cash)
+$440.00 to ING
+$15.00 Even Out Amount
Balance $32,360.00

ING $28,760.00
HSBC $3600.00
Total = $32,360.00

I am trying to get back into selling items on FB. I am keeping this money for myself as this is something I am doing on my own and separate from my normal paychecks and DH. I will keep it to the side for now and once everything is done then I will put it towards the house. So far I have $31.50. I have a buyer for a bunch of make-up on Tuesday, if she buys everything she has said she wants it will be $35! So we will see!

Still a decent price as I use these a lot for my gym bag, softball bag, at my desk at work etc. The profit I will make on the Men's deodorants will essentially make the ones I am keeping for myself FREE!

So I recently found out that I didn't pay my Discover bill last month....or my water bill. HUH?!

Not like me AT ALL. Guess with all the stress I am losing my marbles. I got a late fee from Discover but when I called them they took the fee off right away since I have an excellent payment history. I know they have automatic payment options on their website so I guess maybe it is time I signed up for that.

No late fee on the water bill, I made sure I paid it right away so last month and this month are paid.

Now that I have accepted that there is no chance of reconciliation things have been going better with DH. I don't have to feel in limbo anymore or wonder what is going to happen. We have been doing ok at taking baby steps into the friend zone.

Then last night he showed up at 12:30am, obviously been drinking. Wants to "cuddle". Guess what? I want to cuddle too...I'm lonely and sad and depressed. Turns out we have very different definitions of cuddling. DH did not get his kind of cuddling. So anyways, now today I feel like I took a huge leap backwards in getting my head on straight. I shouldn't have let him stay. Should have told him to leave. Should have yelled at him. SIGH.

He texted numerous times today that he is sorry and shouldn't have done that and that he won't do it again, he knows it was wrong to come over...blah, blah, blah. I have had a sore throat for a few days and so he brought me ice cream today too.

As much as I don't want to make space between us...he knows I am getting lots of attention from other men now (99.9% unwanted attention) that they know I am single and I think that may have been a large factor in his actions yesterday. I am going to just have to be an ass and make my own rules and follow them. No more coming over when you want, even if it is to pack or do laundry or fix something for me or whatever. No more house key. No more garage door opener. And no more calling and texting all the time.

Tomorrow is my 7 year wedding anniversary. Heartdaggers.

I am starting to slowly get funds moved around to get ready for them to be separated. I had $95 in the Mortgage Checking Account, so I moved $90 of that to ING Savings. I also have the cash savings at home that I need to put in there, and I will be closing the HSBC savings into ING as well. Hoping to get all of those done this week. Then all of the savings is with ING and will be easily split.

Current Balance $32,345.00
+$90.00 From Mortgage Checking
+$8.00 Even Out Amount
+$2.00 Even Out Amount
-$200.00 to Roth IRA
Balance $32,245.00

ING $28,305.00
Home Improvements(cash)$440.00
HSBC $3500.00
Total = $32,245.00

Today is one week without cable, and it went great!

I am not home too much between work, OT and softball. When I am home I have lots of cleaning, reorganizing and yard work to do, and I prefer to listen to music rather then watch TV. I did watch 4 movies this week, and season 1 of The Office(I have all of The Office, Friends and Sex and the City on DVD, so just those would keep me occupied). I have Netflix still but didn't watch it much other then a few episodes of Frasier before bed. But that will for sure keep me busy when I do feel like watching TV shows.

I also have finally been getting to read more which is nice too.

I am super happy I decided to cancel it, this will save me $50 a month!
