Well here is the front of the house with the new paint. I am getting better at posting more often huh? I suppose even if it is just a few words, and some photos I am gettting into a routine.
Front Door
Sitting porch
You can actually see Roscoe and Daisy inthe window if you look close enough. I should have at least curled my hose before I snapped the photos.
I did have a bit of a shock last weekend. I fuond out my ex is living with someone. I suppose it shouldn’t bother me, but it really really does. She is younger, thinner and cuter. It depresses me. I found out because she signed Jakes birthday card. Then I bascially made the kids tell me what was going on. I still feel like a failure. I creid, alot. I suppose if I had left him it would be different. But I am sure I have abandonment issues.
Very cute house! Love the color.
Sorry about the Ex. Clearly he isn’t good enough for you, although it never feels like that when your feeling abandoned.
The house looks great! And, don’t let the ex get you down. Its not worth wasting your time or tears over. Hang in there!!
Wow, look at those huge windows!
I don’t know the ex or the ex’s new ladyfriend, but I know I like you better than them.
I have been the one who left, and I have been the one who got left. It’s a lot better to be the one who leaves. I think to have your husband leave you is the ultimate ego crushing experience. I didn’t want to stay with the husband who left me, in fact, I was planning to leave him. He just acted first, and it was terrible. It took a long time for me to get over it, but I did. He had 2 more wives after me. Now he is dead. I am alive and happy with a wonderful man.
Your house is a work of art, Annie, and you have pets to keep you campany and kids who love you. Maybe someday you will choose to have another man. And your next choice will be a wiser one.
And you have your blog readers who love you.
Beautiful house!
Yeah, having your ex move on is always hard. Although, I never met you in person, I think it’s his loss. ))hugs((
OMG I LOVE that color. We need a color for our house now that it has new siding… I knew I wanted to do green but I was worried about picking the right shade. I’m such a wuss about paint. But your house is PERFECT. I would love to know what brand/color chip. We could have matching dogs and houses.
You’re not a failure in any sense of the word as I’m familiar with it. Your ex, on the other hand… I suppose you could say HE’S a failure: He failed when he left you!
Besides, you have friends, family, and blog friends that love having you around. Sounds pretty successful to me.
Everyone’s already said it better than I could, Annie. It hurts when you’re the one who’s left, and it’s hard to break the cycle of second-guessing and getting down on yourself (I’ve been there too). I hope you’re feeling better after the initial sucker punch of finding out what the ex has been up to.
Those huge windows with the crisp white trim look GORGEOUS against the green! So lush and cool, and the Adirondack chairs are the perfect accompaniment.
Such great colors. I like the house a lot.
Ex’s…..they do that you know. Mine is on number 3. Family number 2. No one I know is really fond of him, and that let me let go of my anger and jealousy a little easier. Yes, that just confirms he isn’t coming back…….Hugs……..
