The entire day yesterday was a prime example of why divorce sucks. It started off with the fact that Brannon and I didn't stay for the pot luck lunch at the church, for reasons that I won't go into. They are NOT the reasons anyone would guess. It wasn't because it would have been uncomfortable with Mike there. It's not because of the fact that my pastor and I disagree on this whole divorce/remarriage thing (a topic I might dive into at a later time, or maybe I won't). It's nothing like that. But when I went downstairs to ask Mike (that might have been my first problem right there. After a certain email he sent me about a month ago, I have been curious to see if there was any follow through in that. Just when I think he's being genuine, he takes his digs) if he could see to it that Jody gets loaded up and on his way home, Mike took the opportunity to take some digs. It just upsets me, because he knows not what he speaks of. By the time Brannon and I got to where we were going, I was about in tears. I shouldn't let things like that get to me, but they do. Mike has no idea what he is talking about. And it's not my place to say anything, and I don't even WANT to, because I am very protective of my relationship with Brannon. But for the love of God, stop talking about things that you know NOTHING about!! That was one of our biggest problems in the marriage. Mike would make assumptions and jump to conclusions, the majority of which were wrong. And it's never ending. He still takes his digs about me in his myspace. If I were to ask him about it, he would deny it or say it wasn't about me...but let's face it, it is. The latest was him talking about how people are selfish and continue to make the same mistakes they always have, usually having devastating results. That is me and Brannon that he talks about. He thinks that I am jumping in with Brannon the same way I jumped into things with him. Again, he speaks of things he has no idea about. He has no idea how I am with Brannon. He is not part of that relationship, so he can say NOTHING. I could start taking my digs where Mike is concerned, but I just don't want to even go there. He said that he doesn't even read my diary anymore. I hope that's true. I really hold little faith in much of what he says.

Brannon was going through his own crap too last night. We think his ex was drunk last night. She kept drunk dialing and texting Brannon. It was especially rude because Jacob, Brannon and I were trying to watch a movie together. Brannon and I were trying to have some Jake time. It was hard to concentrate with the constant beeps. And he had his phone on silent, but you still get the beep beeps saying you have a new text message. I guess he could have turned the phone completely off. When it comes down to that, it's just stupid. It was maddening. And the crap that she was texting was just pure nonsense. I could go on and on about it, but again, it's not my place, and second, who cares? Brannon and I ended up having a pretty long talk about it all last night. It wasn't a pleasant conversation. It could have headed towards a fight real quick. He and I are amazing together though. We just don't fight about stuff. We discuss stuff. We discuss just about everything. And we come to conclusions and the discussions are over. Sometimes we revisit the topic later on down the line, but once we have things solidified, we're done. It is such a departure from what I am used to. It is so REFRESHING. And I feel like such an adult. I can breathe!!!

The thing about it all is, Brannon and I are SO TIRED of DRAMA. Really, there is no need for drama in life. Not like that. There should be, however, passion. But passion and drama are two very different animals. Drama: BAD! Passion: GREAT!!

Anyway, I am done talking about our ex's. In fact, I am done talking altogether for today. I have birthday and Christmas presents to shop for. That's more fun anywho.
