I had a great time at the birthday party. It was for a good cousin/friend of mine's kids. So several of my girl cousins were there. Since I 'outed' my separation at 4th of July, it was nice not to have to have a story anymore. They asked where the kids were and I told them it was Dan's day. One of my male cousins just caught his wife with her A partner a couple months ago and now he is divorcing her, so he understood the whole 'sharing the kids' thing.
None of my other cousins are divorced, but one was separated 4 months b/c she was having an A, then she saw the light and they got back together (also her H found out he had cancer which prompted her to come home).
Anyway it was nice talking to all of them and they came to the consensus that it was prob harder on me than the kids actually, us spending so much time together. I agreed...
So when I got home I texted Dan and asked if he would keep the kids overnight, he could stay at my house, and I would see them all at church the next day.
He replied "Yeah okay where are you headed?"
then
"Not being nosy, just curious"
So I replied that I didn't know where I was going, I just needed to clear my head. That prompted a couple of texts from him asking if I was okay and saying he was there if I wanted to talk.... I didn't reply to those.
So he and the kids got to the house as I was finishing up my suitcase. I told him I changed the sheets on my bed for him and he commented that the 'whole house is spotless', which is high praise considering he used to be bugged when it was a mess.
