I agree too about the wait on the puppy idea. I got two the past couple of years and now after comparing it with have a baby, it's almost just as much work (in the begining). If you do decide to get one in the next couple of years, although puppies are super cute, you may want to try to get a slightly older one, b/c as a single mom, you may not have that time to commit while taking care of S on your own. But they sure do bring great companionship!
When I read that about H not calling to check up on S, I was pretty shocked. Pneumonia is major and especially after his supposed remorse for not being there at the drs with you for that, you would have thought he would have at least checked in. Just to confirm that it's not just him being a big jerk, is he restricted from using his phone on the weekends when he is doing his rehab (does just go for an hour or so for a talk or is it a whole weekend program?)
Well, just continue to do what you can for you. I know how tough it is with S full time. Just try to do as you suggested to me to make sure to take some time to yourself to unwind, read a book, etc. And great job on the house. It's nice to have pride in your work and I'm sure it looks great! =)
