I cut out on the Quicken once I got to November 1. Talk about eye strain...
Went upstairs at midnight and H was asleep on the kids' floor. I tapped him and he said he would be leaving in a minute.
I went to bed and when I woke up at 6 his truck was still outside...went back to sleep and he was gone when I got up at 7. He sent me a text at 8:00 that the cows ran out of hay overnight and he had to go try and start a tractor (-7 with -30 windchill sucks) to feed them. I didn't see anything I needed to reply to...
Going up to shower. Kids and I are going to church and then to my mom's family Christmas. It will be 40 people, my mom has 7 siblings and they all have kids/grandkids. Fun times!
After that the kids are spending the night at my mom and dad's. Dan and I are meeting up this evening to fill out the January schedule and pick a parenting plan. I am leaning toward "Me two days, him two days, then alternate the weekends". I gave him the sample plans so we'll see if he read them or not.
We are also going to figure out how to tell/when to tell the kids. I would imagine it needs to be done before Jan 1 since he will have his house 12/30. I told him the other night that when he spends so much 'good' (no fighting, no stress,etc) time here, it is going to be hard to tell S we are separating. I now think that all the fun family times like going out for dinner and going to see Santa could make this super confusing for S. If he sees us together enjoying ourselves, how can he understand we can't be together? I am sure Dan will have great ideas on how to address that (not!)....
OK off to shower. Don't want to be late for church
