I've been kind of stepping back and getting my feet under myself. XW is staying fairly busy with her "group" from work and getting the kids ready to go back to school. The latest OM is still in the picture, not really accepted well by the kids however though. S15 can see quite clearly that OM won't do well with S12. S15 has no respect for OM and is loosing respect for W as a result.
S12 was asking me if I'm married. I tell him no. He says "you need to be married". I asked him who I should be married to. "Mom, you need to marry Mom". Well, I guess I walked right into that one. I did my best to explain to him that this was something that might be quite difficult and wasn't all my decision.
Another problem I see coming is that every time I show up at XW house, the younger kids ask if they can go sleep at my house. I can see that when things aren't going as planned for her, W will get quite annoyed at this. D6 loves to fuss over her Daddy, I can see this is not going to sit well with XW after a while.
S15 is quite drawn into his computer when at XW's house, doesn't seem to miss it at mine. All though the new place is a little in transition with moving in, the kids feel very at home there. I'm trying my best to make it as comfortable as possible.
The trip to Vegas was good. A few things learned. Us the Tram and the Monorail. You can get from Mandalay Bay to the Hilton with very few steps, with little time outside, if you use these modes of travel. I didn't do this the first day and my blisters are still healing. The monorail tickets are for 24 hours and are well worth the $12. Avoid the cabs, they take you all over the place just to go 4 blocks, then charge you 8-12 bucks.
NFR? National Rodeo. Will it be at the convention center? Not sure if I remember which hotel it was near. We stayed at Mandalay Bay, it's at the end of the strip, but it was great. I was glad someone else was paying for the room. Any other questions, let me know.
