Tonight I was with the kids at swim lessons. It was a "Dan" night but swim lessons are from 4:30-5:30 so I had the kids.
He texted me, asking if a movie the kids wanted to see was on in theaters yet. I replied it was. (Nathan told his Dad over the weekend he wanted to go see it.)
He said he would be meeting me in 20 min. I called at that point and asked where I was supposed to be meeting him? He said he would come to the house and get the kids.
Then he stuttered and stammered and said that actually he was kind of wanting me to come too, but if I had other plans, that was okay, he just kind of thought it would be good if I came...
So at 2:00 I had sent him a draft copy of the terms we agreed to for our divorce. Then 4 hours later we were sitting by each other in the movie theater with a kid on each side, sharing a big bag of popcorn (the kids each had their own 'kid bags').
Actually, I am totally ok with it. I had/have absolutely no expectations. I think it will be great for the kids if we can have some family times now and then. I believe SP referred to it as 'harmony'.
After the movie I told Dan to take the kids home as I needed to go out for a bit. So he took them home. I went to the bookstore and got a book on separation/divorce. It outlines the things we need to consider when completing a divorce agreement. Because we are emotional, it says, we should be sure that doesn't cloud our ability to ask for what we should in the settlement. (Christian guide btw so no sharks here.)
Going to review the book once the kids are in bed, Dan is upstairs reading to them now in fact. I think we covered pretty much everything but will read over the guidelines to see if we forgot anything.
