Thanks for the vote of confidence, CTH. Still uncomfortable to take deep breaths but I am back at work and nearly fever-free! (Only like 99.5 so not bad at all!)
Last night had a bummer moment....My mom came in and brought the kids supper-yay! She was in the dining room with them and Sydney starts telling her daddy has his fridge, and that soon he will have everything he needs to have a real house.
My mom tried to put a good spin on it and told her, "Then you will have "The best of both worlds"" (Trying to sound like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana.)
Nathan replies, out of thin air, "Yeah, I am lucky because I had a lot of years growing up to be with mom and dad when they were, you know, together. Sydney missed out on that." And Sydney says, "Yeah, I was just a tiny baby when mommy and daddy were together".
And you know, she's right. He first slept with ow the week that Sydney turned one... And apparently Nathan thinks five years with his dad in the house are 'a lot'. That makes me sad for him and for her, and you know what? It's ok to be sad about that...
But not dwelling. Tonight I am taking them to see Shrek. I hope it's good!
