So, life continues to roll on....Nathan is getting better though he had one smaller outburst yesterday.
He told his best buddy Jimmy at the lunch table that his dad was getting his own house. He asked me if it was okay that he told? Poor kid, thinking he had to keep a secret...
I said you talk to whoever you want to talk to, it is okay with Mommy. He said, "Well when I told Jimmy, Natalee (classmate) said if you are getting different houses then you are getting a divorce. I told her NO you aren't, you just can't get along and have to have different houses." So I guess he does get the gist of things...
Dan was working on the tractor last night so he missed karate (something about bad gas = no ability to feed cows = draining 67 gallons of bad fuel out of the tractor). He seemed a little surprised I took Nathan anyway. It was "my" night but we agreed we would always both get to go to karate. Anyway I said since he didn't see Nathan at karate he could come over for a bit once we got home.
So he came over around 7:30 and stayed until 9. I told him he could leave before I put the kids to bed, he said thanks b/c he still had to go get a load of hay from a buddy to feed cows with.
It was strange, he was very light and jokey with me and almost flirty in his smarta$$ way. I imagine now that the kids know he is feeling unburdened, relieved....he is staying with his mom and dad instead of Tom, not sure what happened there. I think b/c the cows are at his parents it is easier if he stays there so he can feed them in the mornings instead of making his dad do it.
Poor kid, thinking he had to keep a secret...
