Well,
Yesterday was awesome, other than a little hiccup involving my W. I looked forward to picking up my boys all day. I completed the chores I had to get done, and on my way to pick them up, I get a text from my W, saying that if I called them one more time before 8 pm, she would notify my chain, and notify her attorney.
This is because in the agreement we signed, we both agreed that once I got back to KUWAIT, I would only call during those set hours, so not to disrupt homework, etc-even though she has NEVER helped either of them with homework-not smart enough. Well, I looked at the agreement, and it doesn't say in writing, in KUWAIT.
Sooooo, I didn't reply, and just drove to the house to get them. Once there, I turned on my voice recorder-just to cover myself.
As I pull up in front of the house, they are all standing outside, my wife wearing a santa hat-looking her usual tired self.
My oldest comes over and tells me that he will see me tomorrow-which we agreed, due to cello lesson early in a.m.
My W and the youngest are still in drive way, and he tells me she is telling him how much she loves him, and that she will miss him, a few tears falling down her face. He finally got into the truck, and we left. On the way, my S12, tells me, "O, D, mom sent some of your jackets with me, they are in my bag" FUNNY of her. She also made it a point to tell S12 that she was going out last night.
Had a great time last night with S 12, have lots to do today as well. Then Sunday off to M's, for Christmas.

I thought and thought last night, whether I wanted to send an e-mail to the new guy in my wife's life, but I decided that he would be able to figure her out on his own after a few months.

It is alot easier with my kids with me. Keeps my mind off of things. I can't believe how big they both have gotten, and smart too!!! They know everything!!!


Ok, guys, send me some guidance, what am I to do now-after the holidays?

I am enjoying the company, and love of my children, and want to continue to make positive steps towards my happiness-although, waking up this morning and seeing my son sleeping made me the happiest I have been in months.
