Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Saturday went well too. Took girls to see Princess and the Frog, then church then sledding after sundown.

They both took spills during sledding, but they liked it overall.

We all slept together on the big futon in the basement -- where it's extra dark -- and slept in until 9:30 a.m.

I dropped them off at my old house so they could do a Christmas event with their mom and I headed to a church singles group thing I found out about on Friday.

Alas, I was the youngest person there by 10 years or so. I begged out after about an hour.

I already told W to just keep them for the night. It would have been 6 p.m. or so by the time they got back. I texted her I wouldn't be back until "late."

The next weekend I have them is the weekend AFTER Christmas, but I should be busy enough that it doesn't hit me all that much. I'm working basketball games four times in the next nine days. I have to finish up the end of decade project for work and I actually have to do the Christmas shopping for the girls.

I know what they want and I have my budget. I just have to get there and buy the stuff and then get the stuff wrapped.

The only down thing about the weekend will be the end of it. This message board is my conversational outlet. I still would love to have W to lay down next to.

That's what I miss the most.
