Coastal Comfort

My world is not so happy right now.

Where hubby is concerned it rarely is anymore.

Last night about 7 he drove me and Miss T to the dance studio so we could work on costumes.

Yes, I could have drove myself, but he had been antsy all week and I figured I'd give him a small project.....take the girls to town; I'll call you and you can pick us up in a couple of hours.

Around 11:30 I called him...........he was "changing a flat tire" in an area he was NOT supposed to be ....... and drunk.

I asked why, he didn't know; I said "see if you had stuck to the plan of going over to Katy's Restaurant, then picking me up like planned this would not have happened".

He said I KNOW.

By 1 am he had not called nor shown up.

I figured my lil bro would be downtown bar hopping so I called him.  Sure enough he was and said I could come get his car.  My dance mom friend who was with us drove me and Miss T down, got bro and took off to get his car.

Tom showed up at home at 5am.

He had lost his phone last night.  He never admitted the whole truth.

Then at 10am HIS phone called MY phone....hmmmmm.

A lady saying that her hubby was riding his bike this morning and found it in da hood.  I said THANK YOU and that I would come get it. 

So I turned towards my bedroom and say "How about that Tom?  Your phone called and said it was lost, but found ---- wanna guess where it was calling from?"

That's when he admitted the truth.

That's when I said it's time to pack.

A one-way plane ticket to Houston is $194 on Wednesday.  I think he should "get away" as Southwest says.

I picked up the phone at 12:30.  The lady was very nice - her hubby a Dr.

I've had a long 3 days.....little sleep.....working on costumes.  Dealing with him.  Today was dress rehearsal.  I was late...I'm never late for dress rehearsal or competitions.  Needless to say it's been a long day.

  Wow you are going through a lot still with Tom as I suspected knowing from my own sister and her issues.  Only God can change them.  I am trying to figure out how to be a good sister to my own sister and her similar situation.  These are tough things to deal with and I can only imagine what you are going through.  Now you know why we didn't get our log cabin.  I couldn't stay with my sister and put my kids through a Tom situation either.  And it's more complicated when you are married.  You are a good wife going through all this Sharon.  If you decide to break it off no one will ever be able to say you didn't try with all your heart.  God Bless You!!!

  I'm so sorry for what you are going through. What my mother went through her entire life until she nearly died one night (she had emphysema) and Dad was too drunk to help her. He never took another drink again till the day he died. She lived for 2 more years caring for her with the love & with the guilt he had to carry, for the rest of his life. Sending you all the care and prayers I have.
