I am doing better today. Yesterday was a little better than Saturday. It was hard for me to see that stuff and then have my mind go to places I didn't want it to, but I got over it. Sunday I took the kids to play mini-golf and to the mall. Overall, it was a pretty good weekend. One small setback was when I took the kids back home on Sunday I didn't call ahead and just showed up. This was not calculated, I am just not in the habit of having to call ahead to actually show up at my home. But she was in a heated discussion with her parents on the phone and had been crying. She walked out of the bedroom with the phone to her ear and I shook my head which was a big mistake. She got really ticked off at me and got after me pretty good. I did apologize for doing that and then things got better. We had a talk with D11 about not playing basketball this year and just sticking with dance which she has 3 nights per week in addition to her starting 5th grade which will be harder and more homework. She makes really good grades but she does getting frustrated at times with all she has to do so we are just trying to free up some time and pressure for her.
