2008 = Crazy Year (Numb 19)

[lost_in_space]

MC, H4U and PDT

Thanks for stopping by guys.

H4U, I definitely hear what you are saying about OMW. It is, for the most part, strictly business. I say "for the most part" because we have been "talking" about what each of us wants to do in our respective sitches but what each of us struggle with. We both want the same things from our respective S, but are struggling with trust. I do hear what you are saying - it could be very easy to think the "let's show them - meet me at such and such a place for the weekend". Won't go there. And remember, she is 1200 miles away - that helps. Her comment to me was "it is helpful to talk to someone who is going through the same thing". Maybe it's kind of like this board but on a 1 to 1 basis.

IF (and yes, based on past experience, it is a big IF) the A will finally crumble, my next decision is what / if to tell the K's. I actually don't think the "if" comes into play, especially if W proceeds down the D path. I already opened that door a bit with D16. She had made the comment to me earlier that things were not that good between W and I even before this year. True - we had gotten wrapped up in the "schedule" that we lost each other. BUT we had realized this and knew there was work to do. I mentioned this to D16 and then also mentioned that things really fell to crap in 2008 and the work on it stopped. So the door is open to have further discussions. THO!!!!!!! (Truth, Honesty and Openness). OR maybe even a better acronym would be HOT... I like that one!

Back to reality. S13 wants to put Christmas lights on the house today. Not really in a festive mood, but if the K's want that, I am for it. Act as if...

One thing I noticed last night - I have a VERY clingy D11 right now. My sister and BIL and nephew were here last night. We all played Rock Band for a while. Lots of places to sit while waiting to play, but D11 has to sit on my knee. My little sweetie knows how to pick here dear old dad up without really trying...
