Decent couple of hours spent around H while at D9 softball game. I will say that in the last couple of weeks he has made more effort to attend her games than I have ever seen. She has been playing ball for years now and I could probably count on one hand the number of games he has been to. Granted sometimes he is at work still, but others have just been excuses. So, in that respect he is trying. He will be at her game tomorrow, but it is also his weekend which should have started this evening, but he has to work tomorrow morning. So, he will meet us at her game tomorrow and then take the kids until Sunday evening. He has a difficult time with them on his own, as he has never really had to do too much, once again my fault. Our two year old gives him fits and doesn't fall asleep until 11:30 at night for him ever. I must admit that I do sit back and chuckle a bit. It appears to be total chaos at his Dad's house when he has the kids! smile Not good for the kids, I know, but he is learning what it is like. I don't seem to mind as much as I did in the beginning the time that the kids are away. At first I was devastated as they are always with me, but it gives me time to walk on my own and have some time to myself, which sometimes is sorely needed right now. After this weekend it will be basically 3 weeks before he keeps the kids again as we are going on vacation. I am eager to go on vacation but also a little apprehensive. Am afraid I will get a text at some point that he is finally going to come to the house and get the rest of his stuff while we are gone. Silly, I know to worry about it but my mind works overtime sometimes. Anyway, going to work on the limiting contact a little more. At least not initiating the contact myself and letting him talk or not talk, whatever his choice may be. Just hoping and praying.
