Do you have any fun plans for your vacation from work? Can someone help watch the kids or can they go to their daycare for a day or two so you can have some time for yourself? I think you need to take this opportunity to really take good care of you. You are going through some really stressful things and you deserve some time just for yourself to rest and relax.
I did a lot of activities with the kids this week, and I didn't really plan any time for me (I did make it to the grocery store on my own the other night- woohoo!) I wanted this week to be for them, since the older 2 start school next week and we didn't have a vacation this year, like we normally do. I have a very flexible job, so I can take time off for myself another time. In fact, over Labor Day weekend, I'm going away by myself to spend a few days with my college friends in Vegas!!!
H agreed to join us yesterday on a day at an amusement park located about 90 minutes away. He stayed here (couch) the night before since we wanted to get a relatively early start. The day went well, kids had a good time, H seemed a little tense/sad, not relaxed. We got home very late and I thought he would stay here, but when I woke up with d1.5 this morning, I realized he had left. No note or anything.
We still haven't told the kids. I am waiting for him to tell me that he wants to do it. I'm not starting any R talks. I did call him Wed. morning, to tell him that I needed a break from the kids. As I mentioned earlier, he has really made himself scarce over the last couple of weeks, and the kids were wearing me out, especially since d1.5 has decided that she's going to wake up much earlier this week than she normally does when I'm working.
