No, I didn't tell her that I thought we should have told them together. I thought about it, but didn't see how that was going to help things right now. If things like that get to be a pattern, then I will have to. But, I think in this case, the stress and anxiety of the whole situation probably clouded her thinking, I don't think I need to pile on!

Flagstaff could be warm in the summer, but not usually like it is down here. And in the winter it is a lot colder. They actually HAVE winter!

Of course now front loading washers are all the rage here, as they use less water. A lot of them are built on pedestals, so that there isn't a lot of bending. And they are a lot larger than the one we had over there! With our boys we were running it constantly!

The problem with the top loading washers is if you have a deep drum (like I do) you end up with your head halfway in the washer holding onto the side trying to get the sock that is stuck to the side like it's cemented due to the force of the spin cycle!! \:\)

Jeff, you continue to amaze me with your calm demeanor and logical process in all of this. Good on you buddy!

Jeff- I'm sorry you didn't get to tell them together, but it sounds like you handled things very well. Are you selling your house or staying?

I'm planning to stay in the house, at least for a few years. I'd like the value to come back up, and I don't really want to move right now anyway. And it will give everyone a home base, even if it isn't their main home.

I will be a shade house poor, hopefully it will work out!

I went to C today, she thinks I am doing things right. She agreed that it would have been better to tell the kids together, but that my plan to let that lie unless things that that get to be a habit makes sense. She thinks that the fact that despite everything else, the fact that we have been good parents is going to help them adjust. I'd say that their immediate reaction seems to support that.

W told her parents today, she said that they said that they hoped that it would not change my relationship with them. Obviously, it does, but I agree with the sentiment. I will make sure that I have them over here regularly when I have the kids. She said that they were not surprised. They were a bit saddened that their kids are now three for three in the D department. We made it a lot longer than the other two, if that counts for anything!

I need to get packed to get the kids up to Flagstaff. We will be leaving early in the morning, so that they will be ready to ski just after noon.

HUGS!

Hey friend, how are you? I have been thinking about you. Well, I am so glad the hard part is over for you. That was the worst part for me.

You seem to be handling everything in your wonderful, calm, easy way.

Just keep being the great father that you are.
