Ever felt like selling your life?

Sooo....Dad picked up the kids, and believe it or not, Dad and I buried the hatchet (not between each other's eyes either). We'll see how long that lasts.

I told him I just wanted peace and no problems and he could bring the kids back Thursday or Friday, that since it's summer I'm pretty loosey-goosey about letting them hang with him. Then....I watched three very important people in my life drive away and leave me in this apartment alone. I came in, locked the door and cried my eyeballs out. And now I feel better.

So, I've been reading about this Australian guy who had marital problems (will not elaborate and who cares anyway?), and decided to sell his life on eBay. And he did it. He sold his house, car, belongings....even his job. Yes! The whole kit-n-kaboodle. This was back in 2008. June 29, 2008 to be exact.

So, what has he done since the day he walked out of his house with his wallet and passport? Read up here: http://www.100goals100weeks.com/index.php

Interesting. If I didn't have kids, I might be tempted to auction my life off too--not that it's worth much these days. I've seen a huge decrease in net-worth during Obama's reign of terror. This time last year I owned a 3bd/2ba home, 2 cars, had a great job and money in the bank. None of those things are listed on my balance sheet today. None. Not one.

Who would pay for my life? Nobody. Im in my 40's, single parent of two great kids, live in a large, older (40 years plus), 3bd/2ba apartment in suburban Atlanta. We killed our 15 year old car in an accident in April. Carried liablity only insurance, as full coverage/collision would have cost more than the car was worth or what I would have been paid by insurance upon a total write off. So....no wheels since April 1, 2009.

So, today, I feel like selling my life. Maybe tomrrow I won't feel that way. The good thing is probably I don't have much worth selling....so that plan's not so feasibile anyway.

Next thing I want to talk about is my Bucket List. Ever since the movie, everyone has one. I've always had one, I just didn't have a name for it other than "Stuff I Want to do Before I Die". I think I like "Bucket List" better. Don't you?

I'll get to that later on...I'm not in a very cheery mood at the moment. I always go through a funk when the kids leave with their Dad. And I'm in a funk!

Here's to talking "Bucket Lists" later. You think about yours while I ponder mine...then lets get busy talking about all the things we'd like to do before we die.

Oh, did I mention I gave the ex a container of "Chock Full o Nuts Coffee" when he left with the kids? I kinda liked that symbolism....though it was lost on his pointy (bald) head. LOL. Probably for the best.
