Just a few hugs for you today. I was stopping in to check on Sam, and I couldn't come by with visiting you for a second too.
I'm good...I think the last time I posted you asked about dating. I've not been...I'm not ready for that. But, I do have what I'm calling a "practice" lunch date tomorrow. He's a friend of a friend's friend. We've chatted on the phone for a few minutes, and he seems nice. He's recently single as well and in need of single friends. So, we'll see. While I'm healing, I'm certainly not whole enough for another relationship. So, if he hints anything other than a friendship, I probably won't see much of him!!!
On the ex-H front...he told me on Saturday (in a very loud and angry voice) at my little man's football game that she was "too stupid to work the video camera." She was right behind him and heard him say it. I had to smile inwardly...in 15 years, he never called me stupid, and he never called me out in public. I'm thinking things aren't going so well there.
My babies are adjusting well. I think in the end they will grow up to be fine, young men. I do catch myself sometimes punishing them for their father's sins...at least twice I've punished more harshly for lying than for anything else. And I said both times, "I will not be lied to in this house." I know that was a result of his behavior. I felt horrible both times, but the reality is, that they need to know lying's not okay. So, all in all, maybe it wasn't that bad to punish more for that.
I'm hoping you and your family are doing well. I'm praying for you always!
Much, much love to you and yours! Amy
