losing sunshine but gaining happiness either way

[LosingSunshine]

Thx Mike! I can't tell you and everyone else how appreciative I am.

I will post more tomorrow morning when I get to work but wanted to get a few things logged before I get too tired.

W came home after work and we all ate dinner together. I also made sure to pick up her favorite that she hasn't had in a while. She noticed and was thankful for me thinking of that.

After dinner we all took a ride to see where she'll be living. Not a bad part of town but and only 10 minutes away.

We got home and she started the bath water and was going to give the kids a bath. She got distracted by txts and calls and went outside to talk. After about 15 minutes of waiting I just have the kids a bath.

After kids went down and some chores, we talked about getting the kids used to her place during August and I am okay with the plan. Not my preference but okay.

The big thing was...it's 4d's birthday on Thursday, she turns 4...and my W forgot to buy a gift. WTF?

Luckily I am prepared and she gifts already bought. I have a friend making a cake as my W said she would and it looks as if that won't happen and I have bought all of the hello kitty party stuff since that is what d wants. Insane.
DBing...don't worry about it, things have been hectic but I have things under control. W was appreciative.

Business end of it well...am I up to 18k god yet with my notes. This is so crazy I don't know whether to laugh or feel bad for her.

All in all though good communication between us tonight and we have another talk tomorrow to discuss shared parenting and what the state guidelined recommend for the ages of our kids. Non custodial if we agree is around 40 to 45 percent...and of course she wants to be the primary physical custodian. We'll see.
