I forgot I wanted to post about something other than just the mediation and our R discussions. I meant to post about the kids also...
After the mediation yesterday, I got home a bit early. Did some work around the house and then picked up the kids from school. We had a scout meeting @ 5:30 that we went to, then came home and made dinner. W called around 6:45 to say she was on her way and to start eating without her. Dinner was very good if I do say so myself...
After dinner, we cleaned up a bit and then the kids wanted to play chess. I sat down with them in the living room and helped both of them with moves. I think it is pretty cool that my 6 and 8 year old are learning chess. My W came in after eating and sat and watched them play also. Good family moment.
We finished the game and my S had a bit of a melt down even though he won the game. (he can get very emotional especially when he's tired). We went upstairs and got them ready for bed and said goodnight. We went into our room and then had a discussion (see post above). It was actually pretty lighthearted considering the topic and there was even some joking. The other day when she had told me that she had been reading my recent posts, she mentioned that she doesn't read the success stories. I brought up Frank_D's posts on here and suggested that she should read those. I gave her a bit of background on their situation and the good outcome. After that I watched the last episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (very topical on D and funny). W fell asleep as I was watching TV.
