Thanks! Didn't see your post yesterday. Yes, I think we are doing a good job with the kids. They seem to be adjusting to the situation fairly well, at least on the surface. We're trying to not let this get in the way of their lifes in terms of who has them at any certain time. D15 is having a b-day party back over at the house tonight even though it is her weekend with me. Ditto on D13 and a school dance last night. Mom picked her up afterwards and took her to hang out with her friends afterwards.
Getting out of the house was definitely good for me, even though I miss my kids, friends, neighbors, and lifestyle very much. Getting better every day though.
Side Note: I'm heading up to SEMO next weekend for a little "me time". Going to do some duck hunting between Sikeston and Poplar Bluff.
Ian,
Great to hear from you man! I think I'm getting better at focusing on myself and kids. It's hard when you've spent so much of your life being a 'fixer' for someone else. I'm trying not to worry about things. Again, that gets easier/better each day.
