trust me, I wasn't that amazing. I had several moments where I snapped at the kids or where got weepy and sad (not in front of them, at least). I feel like a bad mom today, actually. a bit short tempered, not normally me.
I did w/o 2x, but I also just had 2 cookies on top of the cookie dough. dinner wasn't the best either. I made dinner for the kids, but wasn't interested myself, just kept grabbing handfuls of almonds and raisins. healthy, but not exactly slimming. at least the cookies are gone...I packed up the rest (kept a few out for my kids, but no more) and will be good the rest of the night..
as for whether the kids want me when h is here, lwb, they are all about daddy. they love him, and miss him sooo much. and honestly, when he spends time here, 9x out of 10 I leave. I used to have movie time wednesday when he could come earlier in the day, but since the new job I just trot off to the gym or run a couple of errands.
the funny thing is if he lets them do something questionable, or at the very least, not something I normally allow (like sitting on the island in the kitchen), they will look at me if I am there to seek permission. lol. its kind of funny, and h is starting to get a wee bit affronted by it.
