She's gone.
She told me she was leaving me and that she was taking my kids away from me too.
At first I was stunned.
Why would she leave?
Did she not want to be with me?
And the kids. How could she take care of them, all by herself.
This is the first time I've been alone since the day we met.
The house feels empty.
Cold.
I would always yell at them to turn the lights off when they leave the room.
"You're wasting electricity! Doesn't anyone in the house care?"
Now I walk around the house, turning all the lights on. Room after room. Light after light.
Click.
Click.
Click.
I don't know what to do with myself. The sound of the television reminds me of them.
I watch Blues Clues. It makes me cry.
I didn't get in until 5am this morning.
I'm tired.
Maybe I'll just try and sleep all day.
Shut down. Recharge the battery.
I made some plans with they guys. OutBack Steakhouse and Shutter Island.
That should keep me busy for awhile but they'll ask how I'm doing and I'll probably lie to them.
They'll make some jokes about me finally having my space. They'll say that they wish their wives would leave them too.
I'll tell them it's not all it's cracked up to be.
"Who's gonna do my laundry?"
Everyone will laugh.
I guess I will too.
After all...
It's only a quick trip to see her parents. She'll be back on Monday. Kids and all.
I'll enjoy it while I can.
No detail is too small...
Now if you'll excuse me. I have a Zombie movie with a side of Beef Jerky, waiting for me in the den. I think I'll watch it in my underwear. Thank you very much.
No one is Out-Numbered in this house, this weekend...

gah, dude, you scared me. just don't be a douche and dribble on the rim or surrounding floor, alright?
Toilet seat up and beef jerky?
Clearly you have not forgotten how to have fun.
Enjoy your underwear wearing, beef-jerky eating, zombie watching afternoon. Just don't forget to make sure you've got toilet paper BEFORE you sit (got a giggle at your tweet this morn)!
Enjoy your "man" time! It'll be over sooner than you think! ;)
Dang and i was crying for you, I'm such a Sucker!! LOL!!
lol! great post! and, yes, enjoy the silence...
As long as the movie is not Porn of the Dead and the beef your jerkin goes in you mouth and not in your hand...thats cool. Enjoy.
I am never alone. NEVER. I can't eat jerky without someone asking for a bite. Which is why I went out and bought the spicy kind. That'll teach 'em not to mess with my processed beef snacks!
I'm a chick, and a zombie movie with a side of been jerky sounds exactly like my kind of night.
Whatever you do, just don't get the ManFlu with her gone. It would be the end of your world as you know it. You. just. could. not. make. it.
Hang in there and enjoy the testosterone supremacy. :)
i was feeling all bad for you for a second.
meanie
=P
You had me hurting for you, you bitch. This is the last time I invest in you emotionally. "Jon, I have cancer." I laugh in your face, wolf cryer.
Dude. DUDE. Don't scare me like that. And I don't even know you.
Have to admit you scared me too!! But then I figured it was only temporary. The reason I figured this out was there was no crying and no anger. Just matter of fact and even a little bit of glee at the freedom.:) Enjoy it for another day.
Let the farts fly, dude. Oh wait, I've read your other posts. That's one thing that DOESN'T change when the ladies are around.
Anyway, enjoy the freedom.
2am and watching Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Life is good. I think I'll eat a cookie.
If I were left alone without my son and boyfriend, I would sit in a dark room watching Blue's Clues and cry just like you.
Then I would party like it's 1999. And then I'd eat a box full of mallomars and cry again.
That being said, happy toilet seat up weekend!
make sure you assume the Al Bundy position in front of the TV!
Enjoy your alone time and thanks for the laugh, as always!
Run free, run wild.
I hope you enjoyed your free time. Maybe next time the kids are off from school or you have a free weekend you can give Ronni some free time and you come down to South Carolina and visit us. Love you!
FAGGOT!
