The Flames are Still Rising....

[blindsided1]

I'm here. I know I have been MIA. The weekend was good and fun and exhausting. Friday, had a fundraiser...a Bachelor Auction. It was fun. Picked up my daughter from H...kept it brief and aloof. Saturday, I went to an awesome birthday party. We rode on a trolly through downtown Long Beach having some cocktails and then off to dinner at a Greek restaurant. It was a ton of fun. Sunday, H had K. The drop of in the am was brief. He brought her home and guess what? He was pleasant. He said hello to my parents he talked to me about his job search. He didn't complain when I gave him a bill. He was actually pleasant. I kept my distance from him, though. I just feel I need to keep that space between us, right now.

I feel okay. I feel pretty solid. Hope it lasts.

K is saying Dada. Not just a sound...she is calling him Dada. He loves it. I love it too. I'm fine with that...it's nice for him to have that "first". I just didn't tell him that she already calls our dog, Houdini....Hoo Hoo. So, I guess the dog wins. I'll let Daddy think he got the first word, though. I'm way too nice.
