OK, as a rule, crappy 'anniversaries' like this should not occur on the same day as your monthly visitor, that is a hormonal nightmare, isn't it?
OK I am focusing on the positives: **My kids love me and they really love each other, which is great for a brother and sister who drive each other crazy sometimes
**I really like my job and I get to present at the school board meeting tonight which I think will be fun
**In terms of H, he asked me yesterday what our plans are for Thanksgiving so he could make plans with his uncle for us getting together with his side of the family, too. Which means H is planning on us doing Thanksgiving together. He also asked me why we needed tickets to my niece's dance recital in December. He didn't realize it isn't a dance recital, they tried out and made it on the Des Moines Symphony's "Nutcracker" ballet for this year. They are 8 and 5 and get to dance in this big production....point being, H is planning to go with me to this event in December, which sounds good to me. Slow and steady....
