Thanks for the great ideas with the teens... Yes, car rides work well for us too, and sometimes bedtime. I'll give that one a try. I agree my kids wouldn't like it scheduled either... Thanks for your advice - I plan to follow it. Your D20 has had a tough time with her D gone... I hope they can continue rebuilding their R. Life is too short to stay angry for long.
So, you will see my posts about the encounter today. Very short but I thought maybe there was a connection. Probably just guilt and now he wants to clear his conscience.
Back to you... WAY TO GO with the Amazon! Very nicely done! Doesn't it feel awesome to accomplish some of those chores that have just been sitting around waiting for someone to do something about it. And rather than waiting, you took charge. Nice!
I did have a good weekend. My son's basketball team finished 3rd in a Denver-area tournament against some tough varsity clubs. So that was nice, and a good distraction. I've got my C appt tmrw and she may actually see me cry tmrw. She's been commenting how strong I am and at peace... well, the facade is falling off and it's time to dig deep and figure out what I'm so afraid of. He already left me. I know I can survive without him. I know I can and will take good care of my children. So, what am I so worried about... rejection, having a door closed forever, what?! Maybe she can help me role play possible scenarios and how to respond.
I just really want to keep it together but the tears just come sometimes...
