Camping and Thoughts on Life
YAY!! We get to go camping. My van is not quite fixed yet, but my friend who is working on it is loaning me one of his extra cars to use instead. So we get to go.
I’m excited. I get to take my kids camping. We’ll be with our ward and the kids will have a chance to bond a little more then some of the other families, which I consider important. I will get three whole days away from here. Which I consider important. I need the break from regular life. This week has been stressful as I’ve dealt with the van.
On a brite note though, I have a new friend. The irony of the friendship for me though is that he comes from the “enemy camp” so to speak. *chuckles*
I’m just joking, but the irony of making friends with someone who is friends with the same people my Ex is friends with I find amusing. My sense of humor really is irony based, and I find this situation littered with it. However, I’ve known him for two days and I find we have alot we can talk about. We were on the phone last night, and before we knew it, four hours had passed. Which was very cool.
He mentioned that I was not what he was expecting. I bet. I know how my ex talks about me to others. So part of the irony in this whole situation, for me, was that someone who’s been hearing who knows what is wanting to get to know me. He clued me in a little bit on the impression he was given, and I just had to smile. It was a sad smile though. It’s amazing, you live with someone for 12 years only to realize at the end of it that they never knew you, and that they didn’t really want to.
