lwb, the kids were sooo funny. and its amazing how much they have grown in the past year. it was heartwarming, a little bittersweet, but nice to watch. S5 asked me if daddy was going to be here for christmas this year. sniff. I didn't tear up, actually, just said no, honey, you'll be spending the afternoon/night with him, though. he seemed okay with that. still, wow.
one of the funny things I taped was our bedtime routine. the two of us always put the kids to bed together, and it was hard when I first started doing it full time on my own, but now I'm such an old pro I almost forget what its like to have help.
speaking of church, I think I'm going to brave it tomorrow. I haven't been in a while, the kids haven't been in months. but I think I'm going to go ahead.
will catch up more with you later. will be around, just chilling tonight.
neph, forgot to thank you earlier about your thoughts on what I should do. anyone else with thoughts about whether I should go ahead and pursue h for his "deal" for me on arbitration, or should I just let it lie for now. I don't know if I should just get it going and try to strike while he might be in a generous mood.
