I was reading some short stories and one of them was about a less fortunate family with two small children and how a small group of adults pulled together to take care of the kids.
For some reason that hit me pretty hard. I felt that despite working so hard and doing everything I can to provide for my kids I have been unable to protect them from their mother and my divorce.
Boy did that take the wind out of my sails.
Before I feel asleep I had a chance to take to a good, good friend of mine who really helped me put it into perspective and actually made me smile (she always makes me smile for some reason). So, in the end I slept fine. But it still surprised me that I would react that way. I guess that stuff has a way of sneaking up on you.
