Only 2 hours left here at work. The day has flown by. One of the girls has a birthday today, so we got to have a pizza and cake party! That helped a lot. After having the past two days off, I was dreading work today, but hey, not too shabby.
My back is hurting. I feel like I strained it somehow...damn. I cant really stand for very long without feeling a burning sensation up and down my back. Ouch. Oh well.
We signed the divorce papers yesterday! Woo hoo! I got the husband to agree to meet me at the house, and then we went over together to sign the papers. I thought that might be the only way to ensure that he would actually sign the papers. I could just imagine myself begging him everyday for the next 6 months to stop by the attorney own his own. I promise you, I would never be divorced.
He was kind of pissy at the end when we were almost done signing. He started throwing the papers at the notary after he signed each one, and then he jumped up and asked if they needed anything else from him. After that, he stormed out. I apologized for his behavior, and the lady just said, "It's okay, you never know how they are going to react". I bet she has seen some drama. I came outside to get in the car, and I asked him what happened, and he said, "This isn't the happiest day of my life, you know". While, I understand that this isn't the happiest day of his life, I do know that sometimes, we should just act like adults, even if we dont feel like it. I do it ALL the time...it is easy. Well, the papers got signed, and I should be a free woman in about 30 days.
I am feeling pretty darn okay about the whole thing. My friend next door says that she thinks I am in shock, and that it will hit me eventually. I don't hold that same theory. I think have been mourning the loss of our marriage for years, and that I am already healing. The divorce is just the last step in my healing process. Now, he just needs to get all of his stuff out of my house.

I never know what to say when someone gets the divorce on towards completion. Should I say congratulations? Offer my sympathies? Ask you for your phone number?
Ummmmm...good luck? Don't quite know what to say, here.
S'pose I could say this via e-mail, but I'm already here.
I've just felt too rotten to write. It WILL get better...and so will you. We both just need a little time. And other things, but you've already alluded to that, or those.
Yes, good luck, congratulations, exchange of phone numbers...all this would be appropriate in my case. This is what is best for ME. Maybe, not for him, but it is best for ME.
My only sorrow comes from the fact that I believe marriage should be forever...
