My Leg is slowly getting better, I am able to walk around w/o my “aircast” in the house and move pretty well around with it day to day at work etc. I am going to try for the gym this morning and see how it goes.
It was a quiet weekend other then running around to
I had a Gal-friend down visiting this long-weekend. (She is just a friend; she slept on the couch downstairs)
She was at my place when my Ex dropped the kids off after their supper together; I introduced her to my ex as my friend… There was little overt response from my ex just a very short clipped hello and my Ex telling me she would call in a couple days to talk with the kids and off she went.
My Friend is down visiting her daughter and looking for work in my city. She hung around with my kids and spent some time just being friends with them.
She loves kids and she read some stories with my lil guy and he was his cuddly jovial self with her.
She did some really nice girl stuff with my daughter, took her out shopping for a little bit, and talked about some teenage girl stuff with her. She helped fixed up my daughters hair before school this am, I told her she looked great.
My Daughter had a nice time with her and really appreciated feeling like she was important. (She told me this) She would like her mom to be more this way with her.
Last night my friend cooked us up a thank-you supper she had her daughter over and we all ate a nice meal together… I have never had someone cook a meal for me in my new house (1.5 years now)… I have always helped make the meals or just made them myself… It felt funny having someone do that for me but at the same time it was really nice. It was a reminder of what is missing in my life. I consider it a wonderful gift and I was very appreciative of it.
My daughter has a session scheduled with her counselor next week… I hope the counselor can help give my daughter some tools to communicate her wants / needs to her mother. She has been having a hard time talking about how she really feels about things with her mom.
