Bacon left with Mr. Tantrum last night to go to Oregon for the week, or part of the week, I am not really clear on that because they are "winging it." The whole "winging it" thing makes me more nervous than a pig in a bacon commercial. I like to have a plan and know what is going to happen when and for how many pennies.
Bacon was thrilled that he would see Crazy Aunt Ethel and all of the Cousins this week, and was so preoccupied with all of it that he forgot about having fun with me on our last day together. He instead asked every two minutes if we were there yet....like any other 5 year old would do.
Mr. Tantrum has announced that he cannot work things out with me, because I am a tyrant, and mean. (Hello, I know I am snotty, but seriously?) So I am moving on with things, keeping busy with work and Pilates and finding my place in the big world after being married for so many years. I enjoy it, but sometimes it is a little lonely, especially when sometimes it feels like no one who is close to me understands my side of things. Like I am the naked girl in school that everyone points to and laughs at.
Things will work out like they are supposed to and before too long Bacon will be back screaming at me to go swimming, and that he cannot poop in the potty. Until then I will get as much rest as I can, eat grown up food, and watch whatever I want on television.

Who's In Charge?
- Mrs. Tantrum
- Oregon City, OR, United States
- I am a 33 year old mom. I work full time and I have a 5 year old son, who has Asperger's. I like to put in my two cents worth about everything. I don't like it when things don't turn out my way and have been known to throw a MAJOR tantrum in public as a result. I run on an obscene amount of caffeine and very little sleep. Here you will find stories about our family, Asperger's, my crazy obsessions and various other ramblings. Thanks for stopping by!

Sounds like a nice little break for Mama.
You know Bacon is going to have tons of fun and be well cared for...but I do understand the nervousness.
And boo , Mrs. Tantrum on the whole "tyrant" thing.
I sent you an email back when you two separated. I've been reading your journal for awhile now and just wanted to let you know that you're NOT alone. I am going through pretty much the same thing and can understand a lot of what you're feeling.
A good book to read is "Conscious Divorce." It really helped me a lot.
