Well last night was offically the first night of our separation. I got home at 6:15 PM and relieved the nanny and settled into my night routine with the little rascals (they celebrated their 3rd B-day on Monday).
Having the house alone with the kids with half the furniture removed proved to be a little more emotional than I had anticipated. It didn't help that the children shows on TV (Nick Jr.) were all family themed last night. Very ironic and a little unsettling.
The evening went smoothly with the kids and I put them to bed and had a late dinner. It will take sometime to get into the rythm of my new schedule but so far so good. I can only speculate what my wife might be thinking but I want to condition myself to avoid putting any energy into what she might be doing or thinking moving forward.
The kids are with her for the next two days and will be back with me Friday night thru Monday morn.
I expect my wife to request we speed up the sale of the home so she can have access to her half of the equity given her financial situation. The next week or two will be very interesting to say the least.
