WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 11

[confusedinpa]

Just more journaling

She hit a deer last Thurs and called me. I asked if the boys was ok. She said only the 3 year old was in the car and he was ok as they were on the way to pick up the 7 year old. She tried to tell me all the details and what not but I asked to talk to him. I asked if he was ok. He said he was and then told me about what happened and that grandmom was coming to pick them up. I told him I was glad he was ok and asked him to call me tonite so I know he and his brother made it back to mommy's apt ok.

My 7 year old called and was upset about the car. I told him that it was only a car and the important thing was that no one was hurt. That was why we drive big cars (full size trucks and SUV's). The car thing is an adult thing so he should let the adults take care of that.

Later that nite, I talked to both of them again and they seemed ok. I told them that I will see them tomorrow (Friday).

After I picked them up on Friday nite, I took them to a motorcycle dealership as I have been seriously considering buying a bike. It's been over 7 years since I had one so I thought it would be a good idea to check out what's the latest that is out there. One nice thing about the crappy economy, prices are really discounted off of list, plus the weather has been really cold and wet.

My boys had a blast as we were the only ones at the dealership. They were very respectful of the bikes as they knew not to touch or climb on them without me saying anything. I had always been part of the riding crowd since college and have always found other motorcyclist to be really good people (contrary to the perceptions). The dealership was full of "true" motorcyclist that worked there.

The people working there enjoyed how much excitement and enthusiasm my boys had about the bikes. They kept finding one that they would buy when they got bigger so we could ride together. A couple of salesman brought out kid size riding gear for my boys to try on and play with. My boys took turns taking pictures of the bike and of each other as they tried on gear.

Then we went out to a resturant that we hadn't gone to in a while. The hostess remembered me and knew of my WAW situation. She had been very flirty since I had told her so that was always a good ego boost.

Sat we wound up playing some tennis in the morning. My 7 year old is really getting the hang of it. My 3 year old uses a racquet ball racket and is getting to the point where he can actually hit it over the net (when I bounce the ball to him). It was a lot of fun and a lot of running as they had to chase down the balls. They got so tired that when we hit Mickey D's for lunch, they were too tired to play on the climber.

After nap, we played some football and I made their now favorite dinner of chicken and rice with cheese/cream sauce.

Sunday we went to the driving range. My 7 year old has gotten a pretty good swing as I let him use my pitching wedge. He is able to hit it pretty straight (wish I could say the same). My 3 year old has a real kids club and makes good contact. It was a good time.

We grilled out some hotdogs for lunch (it was beautiful out) and had a picnic in our backyard.

After the 3 year old's nap, we played some baseball. Then we had dinner and we had to prepare for my WAW to pick them up.

The only downer this weekend was when my 3 year old tackled me to give me a hug and kiss and said that he loved me, he said that since he spends more time with mommy he loves her more. I told him that I'm sorry he feels that way but daddy loves him no matter how much time I see him. A little bit of a downer but I gotta remember he is only 3.

My 7 year old did get sad on Sunday when he realized that the weekend was winding down and he was not staying at home until the next weekend.

When I took them to her car, we saw the moon and I asked if they wanted to put our pieces of the moon back. They sad no. I gave them hugs and kisses. I saw my WAW rolling her eyes again so I asked if one of the boys wanted to break a piece of the moon of and give one to mommy to. My 7 year old did and gave it to her.

So I gave them extra hugs and kisses and told them I would see them on Friday again.

My 3 year old called me this morning as I was getting ready to leave for work. He was upset that he missed me. I told him and his brother that I missed him as well and will see them both on Friday and that we will try to skype tonite so we can see each other. I could hear in the background my WAW getting upset that they weren't getting ready. I told them both to have a great day and to do a good job getting ready for mommy. Then I told them I loved them.

It was nice to talk to my boys first thing in the morning.
