For the Guy with Kids and a WW Vinte (20)

[hopeful4her]

Bbq turned out great. Beef ribs and homemade potato salad. The girls LOVED it.

The wife showed up after we had already eaten. She hung out for a bit, and was playing with our dog on the floor of our dining room. I asked her if she was hungry.

"Nah....kinda. Whadja make?"

I tell her what I made and she says sure. She asks the girls to show her their rooms. I heat a plate for her and serve her some tea. D7 and I sit with her at the dinner table and talk a little.

I tell the wife that we didn't get a chance to make Rice Krispy squares and ask if we still had time. She said yes, so I got D11 to help me with it. The wife lets me know dinner was very good and then goes outside to visit the puppies.

Getting ready to leave and packing the girls stuff, she tells me her schedule for the week. We talk about daycare for D7 for Monday. Not sure if we should have her attend all day for Monday.

Just before she leaves, she tells me,

"We'll come spend the night on Wednesday."

I tell her thats fine and I say my goodbyes to the girls. It was really hard. Lots of hugs, lots of kisses. Them yelling from the car, "love you, daddy!"

The same that they do when I pick them up from the apartment for my week. They know they'll miss their mom. When I go leave them off at the apartment, I don't get that type of goodbye. I'm gonna keep having her pick up on her week.

And they'll all be coming to spend the night on Wednesday. I got some planning to do, I think.
