J - Ride was great, thanks. Not that long but pretty hard. Good stuff. I'm pretty cooked between the hay, moving and riding.
HS - very kind of you to say. Certainly haven't felt like much of a good dad...especially through my "angry years". Been a lot better since the bomb. Really learning to appreciate them. But I have to say...something I noticed today actually. Now that I'm letting go of all of this and accepting it...I feel so much more patient around them. I think that most of the time when I lost my patience with them before...it would be because I was stressed about my sitch, etc. I am just so much more at peace right now....calm....feels really, really good.
And I have to say, the interactions with the W were better this weekend too. She said last weekend that she didn't think she could be comfortable with me until this was all over..but she seemed more comfortable this weekend. So that's a good thing. I really think it's important for the kids too. They sense it I think and they have been great this weekend. D6 has had a few episodes of sadness but they are listening and behaving really well.
Life is good! Gotta make plans for the 3rd and 4th. She has the kids for the night of the 3rd. Really want to do something. Then she is taking them for the 4th, it's her dad's birthday...but I'll have them that night. So S2H will be on the loose for a while.
