Tall dark and handsome

I have formed an opinion some may not agree with.... I believe that the internet is an underlying factor in MORE than 50% of todays divorces... Its such a predator errr well I believe it harbors SO MANY predators... What I mean by underlying is that it could start there or end there... someone becomes bored with the other and uses porn or chat or personals to make up for what they may be missing and it spirals out of control... People can be anyone they want to online... A little fun and maybe much needed attention turns into lying, sneeking and possibly acting on something you know your spouse wouldnt approve.

Bored spouses go online find a new friend... one thing leads to another. Porn has become a new hobby.. what the hell happened to woodworking?? I know people have cheated for centuries but has it ever been this easy? YUCK!

I bought my first computer in 1996, it didn't take long for my ex husband to find the "goodies". Before anyone comes down on me... Im not blaming the internet for my divorce... there were OBVIOUSLY already problems. But the computer was such an outlet that there was no interest in working things out the conventional way. I always felt like I was competing for attention... After I found out about the habit... I became forever suspicious, I was preoccupied by trying to catch him or trying to find the answers to unanswered questions.

My girlfriend called me the other night said her husband failed to empty his history and wastebasket on their computer... Not only that but he left his applications up including his 3 different email accounts... She saw and read the end of her marriage. He had personal ads posted, he was corresponding with several women and had been having a physical relationship with at least one person for the last 3 months. After she confronted him... He confessed and said it was just to easy and he abused the freedom (he is a pilot based in PHX, family is in DEN). Shameful. My heart SANK for her, they have a baby and a mortgage and she trusted him.

I really dont know what to say.

None the less during a FREAKING ASS heat wave!! I took the kids on a vacation for 4 days!! Awesome, had a great hotel was called Jurys Washington hotel right on Dupont Circle was only $99 per night for a great room that had a plasma TV hanging gracefully from the wall directly in front of my king sized bed.

We spent a day in the downtown area walking from one end to the other, we visited the Natural history and the American history museums, Botanic Garden, Lincoln Memorial, washington Monument and Emmy asked if she could egg the white house.. It was no less than 100 degrees and HUMID like buckets of THICK wet air being thrown at us.. then to have to trek into those tunnels to catch the metro, standing next to hundreds of sweaty, sometimes filthy dirty people isn't much fun to me, not to mention im already one of those weird finatical mothers that freak about my 11 year old not holding my hand.. I was there by myself with my 2 priceless possesions.. I was scared!! But we did well and we all LOVED IT!!

Washington Monument is Beautiful its my favorite thing in DC!

My kid is a goon!!! He literally had a 5 minute session with this skeleton making sounds I had NO IDEA could come from a child! Others were staring and NOT EVEN LAUGHING!!! LOL

This little weevil thing was beyond boog.. he was goofing off and trying to mimic this thing the rest of the day.? weird kid!

Can you FREAKING believe these 2 belong to me? Man they are getting older and bigger!!

This probably the sweetest thing I saw the entire time! they were laughing and whispering with each other for at least 10 minutes!


Then all hell broke loose! LOL


After walking nearly 4 miles the 3 of us sat with our feet in a cool water fountain that stated "DO NOT TOUCH WATER Strictly prohibited" I asked the janitor picking leaves out why we couldnt touch.. he gave me a "pffft" so we SAT and planted ourselves... I bought the kids their Keens before we left... I loved mine so much that I broke down and bought them their very own!



This was at the end of our journey, we were all HOT/TIRED/THIRSTY and READY to get off of our feet... all we had to do is find the damned metro tunnel!!?? UGH It was back at federal triangle another 1/2 mile...

Farewell DC!
