My Weekend was quite good. After praying for a sign from God yesterday morning, I got one in the form of a post that Sandi posted to antlers, but really spoke to me in a profound way. Robx also provided some very good dialog, along with orangedog, Kalni, silver Fox, ppenton and Smileysperson, and I came t the decision that I ned to move back into my home at the end of my kids school year.
Last night my kids had a friend sleep over, and we had a blast going out for pizza and wings, shopping for mother's day gifts, making mother's day cards, playing poker and ending up the evening watching a really deep movie that resulted in some deep philosophical discussions with my sons and their friend. The movie was "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and it is a WWII movie about 2 boys that become friends in Germany during the war - one is a Jewish boy in a concentration camp, and the other is a German boy who is the son of the commander of the concentration camp. Anyhow, it was a very moving movie, and a great discussion afterwards about mans inhumanity to man. It was one of those pivotal moments when you realize that your kids are even more amazing and compassionate than you thought.
We went out to brunch with W, and kids had a great time - w largely ignored me, no eye contact, no conversation other than short clipped answers to questions, but that was to be expected, at least we were all able to do something as a family.
I also got a sign this morning when we went out to the car to go to church, we found a hummingbird that seemed to be hurt. I coaxed him on to a stick, brought him out to our hummingbird feeder, got him to take a drink, and he took off and flew away. Stil trying to figure out the significance, but I do think it was some sort of sign.
