I am doing....ok. A bit of a cough still but not bad. Had to work "kindergarten day at the park" today...long day outdoors (their equivalent of track/field day) but fun.
Spent the past 2 hours in the house in the basement with tornado warnings. Still lots of thunder but not too bad. North of Omaha got much worse...
The weekend was pretty good. My sister was in from Des Moines with her kids and stayed at my house Sunday night.
Dan had kids during the weekend. Brought them back Sunday noon and stayed for lunch. I grilled burgers, made sweet corn, and grilled new/red potatoes w/cheese. All good! Kids liked having 'family time'.
Then he left and kids and I went out to my mom's. Kids played there while sis and I went golfing. Mom tried to do the guilt trip thing and asked my we didn't invite oldest sister along, but we both know older sister hates golf and she said as much--yes, mom said it in front of her. Sighhhhhh.
While golfing sis was b!tching about her H. They have had a really rough several (4 or 5) years. She is super stubborn and headstrong and he comes across as laid-back to the point of lazy. I can see where they are both wrong on a lot of occasions but no one can fix someone else's relationship!
Anyway of course we talked about the Dan situation too...she said between the fountain for Mother's day, the basement carpet for Christmas, and the big tree for my birthday he has gotten me better gifts this past year than her H ever did...I joked that he has gotten me better presents since he left than when he was with me, things specific to what I like, what is important to me. Which is almost true but he always was a pretty good gift buyer. Anyway she said mom told her he spends time with me and kids 'all the time' and she(mom) wants me to 'just move on with my life'. Whatever that means, looks like to her...
Anyway sis said she thinks Dan is still 'conflicted' inside or he wouldn't spend so much time with kids and me, since he gets almost 50% custody as it is. I really don't know anymore...then at 11:00 Sunday night my phone beeps and it was a text from Dan. Just wanted me to know he found a good horse for Sydney once she is old enough for one. My sis just laughed and rolled her eyes and said, "yeah, he really needed to contact you at 11 at night for that"...
I don't know. Maybe he is conflicted. And maybe my mom has a point that I should be 'moving forward'.
But right now my focus is on organizing my house, playing with/loving my kids, and working on a good financial plan for the future. Everything else is secondary.
