It's been awhile


So its been awhile since I have made a post.  I apologize for that.  We we will start off with some good news for this post.

Yesterday I was told that the pastry case at my work (the one that I am a full time pastry clerk for) is now #5 in the whole company.  :)  Makes me pretty happy.  In December we were #15 and in October (which is when I took over that position) we were doing awful,  we were #29.  So with all my hard work I have moved us up 24 spots since I took over.  I pretty proud of myself for doing that.  :)  So I have decided to share a few examples of my work with you all.

 

 

 

 

And that's just a small sample of what I do at work.  Its pretty fun and helps me relieve stress and think about something else for awhile.

---------------

Well onto how I am doing with the CDing part of my life.  It hasn't been in "my face" but I think the fact that I am aware he CDs and that he has some other feelings that I didn't know about but read from posts on certain forums just has hurt me so much inside that its really hard to get over.  Its been a year and I don't feel any better about anything.. I know its going to take time.

He leaves this Sunday for 5 days.  It worries me.  So I am a bit more down when not working.  I'm not dumb I know hes probably going to get panties or whatever down where he is going for his training for work and probably wear them with other things in his hotel room.  Makes me so sad.  I want to trust my husband so much.  for YEARS i thought he was the one person that I could always trust.  He always talked about how he hated liars etc.. yet he had been hiding things from me for our whole relationship/marriage.  So that image of him always being so truthful and open with me was crushed in a moment.

--------

Other then all that I am doing ok.  I have been sick since around Christmas time.  It takes me longer to get over colds cause I am not allowed to take certain medications cause of the condition of my esophagus.  And it takes longer for my throat to heal up.  So for the past couple weeks I've been coughing up a storm.  Today was a bit better though,  although I feel like I've been eating cough drops like candy lol.

I will try to write more but I cant make a promise.  Hope everyone reading is doing well!  thanks for taking the time to read!

Travels & Trust




I think I mentioned in a previous blog post that my husband will be doing some traveling for work about 5 days in Jan, Feb, March and April.  He will be going out of state and the company is putting him up in a hotel etc.  At first he thought another co-worker would be going with him but then found out they are going somewhere else.

It just makes me so nervous cause I just know that 99% sure he will dress in some way.  And I know before he had talked to people about a transformation service.  It hurts me.  Yet I cant tell him any of this cause he will just get mad at me that for one I don't trust him and second I just like to be bossy.  I wish he really just noticed how much this all deeply hurts me.. and that he would want to be my band aid and make sure I wasn't hurting.  But hes not my band aid.. seems like lately hes more like my knife.

How can I trust him.  Trust has been broken so many times and how can I just say "I will be OK and I will trust him to be truthful to me".. cause I have a big gut feeling that he will be in the big city with more options and will basically be in what others call "Pink Fog"

We got into a argument the other night and my feelings go hurt really bad.  I went to bed crying silently until around 130 when I finally passed out.  So I am not one that likes to do laundry.. I don't mind putting it in the washer and dryer.. but its the folding that I hate.. so in our bedroom was a pile that had collected.  And day after day he kept asking me when the room was going to get picked up cause he was sick of looking at it.  Well I work full time too and at a more labor intense job (well compared to his job) So every night of course I come home tired.  I don't even change out of my dang work clothes.. I come in sit on the couch for like 10mins to check my emails/FB and then work on getting dinner started and picking up the downstairs etc.  Then I go to pick him up from work and come home and finish dinner.  After dinner we usually watch a bit of TV then I end up passing out on the couch while hubby will play on his computer then he wakes me for bed.  I don't see why he couldn't work on it as well.  When he talks about "cleaning"  he always talks "we"... "we need to get this done..we need to clean this tomorrow" etc.. does it ever happen to be "we" doing it.. nope.. its actually me.. the only thing he has cleaned in our house since we moved here 17mo ago is his computer desk and the shelves next to his desk.. NOTHING else has he done in this house.. not even a load of laundry.. he has not lifted a finger to help me at all.. his thing is "the kids can clean this.. or that" but I'm sorry I'm a adult I'm not going to have them clean everything.. I wish he would pull his weight.. omg the other night he actually had to wash his own plate.. and well I heard about that... anyways back to our fight.. so he asked me "when is this going to get done"  I told him I didn't know.. and I didn't have a answer for him cause I wasn't sure if I would get to it tomorrow or on my day off etc.. his reply to me "well im not going to bed until you give me a answer"  I replied with telling him I am not sure and I am not going to make a promise to him and not end up getting it done.  so then he decided to reply to me "You just fucking nasty.  You have been a nasty person since I met you"  I was deeply hurt and I know I probably shouldn't have said anything in backlash but I did.  I told him "Well your a jerk of a husband who doesn't do anything to help me".. then we went to bed.. me crying and him snoring within 5mins.

So the next day after work.  I didn't sit on the couch to rest.. I didn't do anything but go straight upstairs and clean the room.  When I picked him up from work I was still in my own work clothes.  when he asked why I was still wearing my work clothes I told him because I was cleaning the room.. his reply... "well I didn't mean you needed to come home and do it.. I thought we could work on it together on our days off"... Yeah right.. try and be sweet now.. he ALWAYS does this.. he gets so mad and angry at me and says hurtful things that make me cry then when I do what he wants me to do he gets all lovey and tells me the total opposite.  *sigh*

Well my grandma left this morning.  She invited us for for dinner last night.  I knew my husband wouldn't want to go cause a few days earlier he was complaining and said its been too much family lately.  So I made up a excuse of why my husband couldn't go.  It hurt me BUT I acted like it didn't when I interacted with him.  But in my mind I want to give him a taste of his own medicine and pull that BS on him when we visit his family again.. and tell him to go without me cause I just want to sit around and play games and BS while he goes and says goodbye to family.  My grandma told me to tell him that she was sorry he had to work that night (which he didn't).. and that she loved him and would see him next time.. when I told him this his reply "OK".. I really wanted him to say "You know I was wrong I should of went up with you cause it was important to you and since you support me so much I want to support you too."  But that's just my "dream" reply.. he will never act like that or talk like that.

I'm starting to realize more and more just how much he really never lifts me up.  Only when its convent for him.  When I am down and hurting when he has caused that pain he rarely will comfort me.  Maybe I just am expecting too much...

Happy Holidays!


So I am starting out this blog post with some cupcakes that I made at work.  Just to kick off this holiday post.  Luckily these cupcakes you wont gain any weight with hehe =)

Ok so to update everyone.  Things are still the same with my husband and I.  But I really didn't think things would be different.  I feel sad inside but I try to be "happy" on the outside.

My mom gave me a surprise.  A few days before Christmas she told me she was going to be stopping by my work cause she had something to give me.  So I said ok.. well I was working on a few things for the pastry case and I happened to look up and my grandma was standing right there.  I was so shocked and confused cause my grandma lives in another state and I was no expecting her for Christmas lol.  But it was a awesome surprise.  She will be staying here until Jan 4th.

we had Christmas at my moms house.  The kids all opened their presents.  My husband and I decided this year that we would just buy for the kids and not get gifts for one another.  We were very tight on money anyways so it worked out good.  I got his a video game that he wanted a few days earlier but told him it was not a "Christmas present"  lol

I don't think he has been dressing or under dressing lately.  But then again he hid things from me for 20yrs so who really knows.  its just a feeling I have inside and usually I can tell lately when hes hiding something.  He did have his toes painted not long ago but then after a few days took off the polish.  I felt better inside when I knew it was off.

I'm still sad though I still wish that things were different. Things take time I guess.  I do hope we can work through things.  This man I married is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.  Which is why I am trying so dang hard all the time no matter how much it hurts me inside...

Sadness


I feel overly sad lately and I feel selfish for feeling this way.  I feel like I have lost what I truly believed in and was working so hard for, my marriage.

I don't tell my husband how I feel cause I know him all to well and I know he will be upset with me or tell me that its always about my feelings.  I don't know how to express to him how hurt I really am deep down inside and that I am not sure if I can live my life forever with this new chapter in our lives, the CDing.  The very thought of him even wearing anything that is female from the smallest of things like the panties or nail polish (even the freakin clear polish now bothers me cause its a reminder to me.. i hate myself for it I hate myself that I cant just look past it and get over it.)  All of it is a constant reminder to me.  I have so much pain locked inside my heart.  Who knows what its really doing to my health at the moment.  

He is all I've known.. hes my everything.  I cant just leave.  I would have wasted 20yrs of my life if I was just to leave to try and make myself happy again.  My world would turn upside down.  For starters I wouldn't even be able to support myself let alone my 3 children.  I hardly make enough in my line of work.  My checks basically cover us from his check in between.  They don't pay major bills.

But I DON'T want it to be over.  I always pictured us growing old together.  But I am scared.. scared that I am losing myself so that he can have a bit of himself.. He does not fully dress daily.. from what I know he only has some stockings left since he decided to throw away all his panties cause I told him if he was going to wear them he could wash them.  So he just threw them out.  He said he threw out other things like shoes and stuff but I don't believe that.  They are probably hidden somewhere in the house.  (Even though we agreed that at the time I was not ready for shoes either) And I am sure there is more stuff hidden.

I wanted to cry the other day when we were at the store and we passed the nail polish remover and he says "I think your daughter has hijacked the remover so we need to get more" ... well I don't use it..so he must need it.. but not sure why he needs it for clear polish which is what we agreed to in the past.. so I assume he has other colors hidden in the house.. but just that moment I wanted to just crawl into a hole and never come out.

I cried today for myself.. I hate crying over myself.. it makes me feel so selfish.  But I couldn't hold it in.  I was typing a PM to someone on the CD forums and the topic of my grandpa came up.  I looked up at his picture on the wall and just wish he was here to protect me and comfort me.  I don't feel like I have anyone around me to protect me to keep me save and make sure I am happy.  its not like I can tell someone in my family about this for them to give me a hug and support.  I am alone.  I cant talk to my husband about it cause well in his words "this is who I am you will just have to deal with it".. where is that someone that will protect me and want to see me happy?  

Just a bunch of negative crap has been going through my head today.  I just cant get out of this funk.  I was in the car driving and then started crying remembering a few months ago (probably in feb or march) when my husband and I got into a argument.. I believe it was cause I wouldn't help him find something at the time cause I was busy and he looked straight at me and said to me "why don't you just die"... how can you say that to someone you are suppose to love and cherish?  Even if I was completely angry with him (which I have been lots of times)  I would never wish him to die.  That phrase he said to me haunts me often.

I just wish this CDing thing would go away.  yes I know its not that easy or maybe not even possible.  although I have gotten a few PMs lately on the CD forums telling me stopping isn't impossible but you have to actually have to have the strong desire to want to stop and keep on the path.  I wish he would stop.  I would give anything if he would just stop.  I never tell him that and I never would.

I want to be important to him.  I want him to think of me as a big priority in his life.  I feel that I'm not.  I feel he doesn't treat me as one.  At times yes but often no.

We will have the same days off soon.  I think that will help me a bit with the stress I have on his days off.  I m scared to even come home unannounced cause of the last time I interrupted him and got yelled at for it.  Its my house too yet I feel like a guest who has to say "is it ok if I come home today?'


I work outside the house in a job where I am on my feet the whole time and heavy lifting as well as running around the store.  I enjoy my job.  Going there is kinda like a breath of fresh air.  My co-workers are nice and we all chat and get along well.  Then I come home have to make dinner and deal with children and a husband too.  I'm pretty lucky that my kids help me out most days.  but its wearing me down.  its not like I am a stay at home mom anymore with all the time on my hands.. I work then come home and work some more.  I wish it would get noticed.

I am sorry but I am not attracted to my husband at all when I think about his Cding.  its a BIG turn off for me. And kinda makes me sick inside.  its just not my thing.  Sure there are women out there who like that but that's not me.  it makes me sad.  I wish he could see my sadness or if he does I wish he would be the one to wipe these tears away and give me comfort.

He will be going to training for his work probably in January to another state.  I'm scared..Trying to trust him but its been bruised.. and I'm so scared....

I feel alone here in my life...

Trying to find peace


Today is my day off.  The days almost over with but its been kinda sluggish for some reason.  Maybe I have been trying to search myself.  I feel that I have so much emotion inside of me that some is buried so deep that I cant find it anymore.

I want to feel peace inside myself and try to be happy with who I am and my life.  So many things I wish I could of changed but I guess that things happen for a reason and that without going through those things in my life that I wouldn't be who I am today (don't know if that's any good) or where I am today (again questionable).. But possibly if I would not have gone though what I have been through I might not of had the beautiful children that I do have now.

My oldest is 17 and will be 18 this coming March.  I was just a baby when I had him too.. I was 15.  I know I made so many mistakes with him.  Things I wish I could take back now and change to be a better mother.  But I cant and that hurts deeply.  He will be leaving home after next school year and  I think I will be upset when that does happen.  Hes a good kid and like the usual teen he thinks he knows everything.  But I know he loves me and I hope that in his adult life he will learn to make good choices and will learn from what he has seen in the past of what not to do.  I think I have raised him right on how to treat a woman.  And I do hope he keeps that with him for the rest of his life.  I hope he has learned that women need to cry sometimes and need a strong man there as their rock as a shoulder just to cry on.  

My 2nd child will be 15 this coming February.  I take him to be a big mommas boy even though he LOVES to argue with me.  But at the same time he is very caring towards me and does not like to see me hurt or upset.  Its not something he should of witnessed in his life but he has.  The last really large argument his dad and I had he walked in on.  After he was so upset with his dad he did not even want to come down for dinner yet he asked if I was ok.  He loves to help me out and this past mothers day and my birthday he was the one who made me breakfast and dinner (while my husband did as he usually does and sat on his computer and I guess expected me to do all that).. He looks after his mother.. not a job he should have but without him and his brother I would feel lost.  They are both great boys.  Both of them get A's and B's in school.. his older brother well its harder but ever since we got the 15yo help he is so proud to bring home his report card.

My youngest is my daughter who will be 13 this month (eek!)  Shes quite the drama queen and even so more now that she has taken that important step into womanhood (she would kill me if she knew I even said anything to anyone about it lol).. While she is a big daddy's girl she always tells me to smile or asks me if I am ok when I am not smiling.  We do butt heads quite often but without her my house would be to quiet for sure!  She is a chatterbox to the extreme.  When she was just little like 3 or 4 we would tell her "i'll give you a quarter if you can be quiet for 15mins".. lets just say she never got that quarter lol.

Those are the 3 most important things in my life and a lot of times they are the reason I am still here and not in heaven with my loved ones I miss.  When I am down a lot of times I will think about them and how they would miss me so much if something ever happened to me.  They get me through it all and they have no clue that they do.

I would like to move forward in my life I feel like I am stuck.  This pain paralyzes me and I just want to be able to vent it all out without being told that I am being bitchy or that they dont want to hear it.. I just want them to see the pain in my eyes..Sure he can tell when something is bugging me but I cant tell him all of it or even the truth cause I know exactly where that conversation will lead I've been there.  

I pray sometimes for God to just show him whats in my heart and all my pain so that he would want to understand.  I hope that prayer gets answered cause right now there is no other way.  I would love to slap him (sorry not the abuse type lol) and tell him wake up im hurting and I just need you.  I'm scared that when all the kids leave that there will be no more reason for me to stick around in this pain.  Thats only 5-6yrs away.. I want him to give me reason to not feel that way.

He leaves on Saturday for 2 weeks to go play army in Iowa (TG I don't have to worry about any dressing or meeting up with people there..).. Im going to do a lot of soul searching then and hopefully find a therapist to talk to.. Im not good with therapists.. I went to a few since we were military we had moved and I would have to find a new one or the therapist would get stationed somewhere else and I would have to get a new one.. Im not good opening up to strangers.. it takes me a bit to start to feel comfortable with telling them things in my life.. and will I have the courage this time to tell them about his CDing?  I am going to have to.. so i can start healing.

Anyways dinner wont cook itself so this is my time to go..

"Beautiful" By *Bethany Dillon*





"Beautiful" *Bethany Dillon*

I was so unique 
Now I feel skin deep 
I count on the make-up to cover it all 
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention 
I thought I could be strong 
But it's killing me 

Does someone hear my cry? 
I'm dying for new life 

[Chorus]
I want to be beautiful 
Make you stand in awe 
Look inside my heart, 
and be amazed 
I want to hear you say 
Who I am is quite enough 
Just want to be worthy of love 
And beautiful 

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me 
Fighting to make the mirror happy 
Trying to find whatever is missing 
Won't you help me back to glory 

[Chorus]

You make me beautiful 
You make me stand in awe 
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed 
I love to hear You say 
Who I am is quite enough 
You make me worthy of love and beautiful

Get it right

This has turned into my favorite song lately.. Get it Right.. by Glee (love that show btw)

What have I done? I wish I could run. 
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser
I'll get through this

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/glee-cast-lyrics/get-it-right-lyrics.html -]
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right

So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth, that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send down a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care

What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
Oh my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight.
