Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Couple of things. I have not been able to correctly get a link to work in my profile to my situation. Any tips from the crowd?

Second thing. W just called to give me update on girls. D10 has the flu. We were worried it was the big one -- swine flu -- but she has some of the symptoms but she never had the night of vomiting -- you know the really bad night.

D7 has been staying away from D10 and I'd offered to take her somewhere today so she isn't stuck sitting around all weekend.

So W was asking if I was still going to do that. I said yes I can. Then she tells me a story about how D7 tricked her. She woke saying her body hurt and she couldn't lift her head and she was hot.

W set her up on the couch in blankets, pillows and a TV tray for breakfast. Then D7 told her she tricked her. She feels fine. She just wanted some attention.

A good story. It would have been better to be over there and see it in person -- but those days are likely over.

For inspiration I was reading through the Another Divorce Busted thread and from what I'm seeing there were few quick fixes. A year to 18 months is a more likely timeline. I've just finished month five.

Still, can't get caught up in timelines. I'm off to Chicago tonight and Cincinnati tomorrow and on Tuesday -- if D10 is better -- back to Chicago to take her to the Miley Cyrus concert.
