Thank you, Sara. I am a fixer but this is something I cannot fix. Fortunately for me I am also a planner and a list-maker so this planning stage feeds into my strong suit...I fear Dan may have his moment in jail, in a bar, in a hospital, or in some random woman's bed. Who knows? But it is not for me to focus on that, is it...so I won't.
Kerry you know we only have one gun and it is a hunting rifle, a .22 I think. I have only seen it a few times in our marriage. I don't know where it is now, if it is in storage or out at his parents' farm. Again, I can't control that right now, either.
H does a good job spending time with his kids. Tonight while I am at night class he is taking them to his mom's house so they can all have a "game night" together. He said his mom is concerned that after her surgery/bladder cancer operation, she may not be up for playing for quite a while and once to enjoy them while she can. I told H to have fun playing with them and I meant it. Right now S is in karate and will also have swim lessons starting in the Spring but we can sure look into Cub Scouts.
