Yes, I think you nailed it. Talking to the coach made me felt like I was actively DOING something. Since I can't take any big actions with Dan, (except to file and I do NOT want to do that) I wanted to do SOMETHING different.
I realize that letting go and taking care of me is an action, it just doesn't feel very 'active'.
So now that I have "goals" laid out, I feel better about things. And more relaxed which is always good.
The kids are doing well. I get to go read to Nathan in kdg. today b/c he was the Pal of the Week. Sydney is going to be getting glasses, so after school we are going to the eye doctor to start looking for a pair she will like and wear. I am thinking it will involve pink/purple/blue with glitter/sparkle of some kind. They have a Disney Princess line of glasses I am sure she will love.
Dan showed up last night, I was totally surprised. He had called me earlier in the day about [censored]'s eye doctor. I told him I was making super nachos for dinner at Nathan's request, he was welcome to join us. Then I said I knew he had a lot of work to do on the house so I was fine if he didn't.
Anyway we had eaten, the kids had bathed and we were down on the computer to check on Nathan's Webkinz frog. I was playing a game to earn him points and the phone rang. I ignored it. I was trying to make a point to Nathan about how he gets so involved in his computer games he tunes everything out. He couldn't believe Mommy didn't get the phone b/c she was playing a game...
Well five minutes later there is a knock on the door. Turns out H had called to see if we were around, then he just came over. It was 8 and he was still dressed from work. Said he just finished up for the night since they are still hard at work on the merger. He stayed until almost 10.
While the kids were playing with him Nathan mentioned a hockey night coming up where our school gets discounted tickets to an Omaha hockey game. Dan said he would like to go with us. So I am getting us tickets. Coincidentally, it falls on the same day (3/20) as our first date, and the day he proposed to me (he proposed on our 5th dating anniversary). March 20 will be 17 yrs since our first date.
They have a Disney Princess line of glasses I am sure she will love.
