still separated, headed for D?

Whoops- forgot to say others' threads!
And Gatsby, I hope you don't think I was "dissin'" the stoop idea! I just think that if I had started this whole DBing thing earlier, like maybe August (ideally at the time you, BD and Piano are!) then I could have implemented the stoop exchange earlier and it could have made a difference or if I had no deadline!


OK about GAL-
TOday I slept in, worked out but was nursing a sore ankle from walking around in heels so I only got 35 minutes in. I started watching "The Invention of Lying" which was pretty funny at first, then pretty reflective, and was getting sad when I stopped it in the middle. I will finish watching it next time I work out (Monday). It was definitely very original and I just love Ricky Gervais!

Then I cleaned a little, S came back and took a nap, and J called me up to see if we wanted to go to the park with her son and her. So of course we did- it was the only dry and sunny day this week and the temperature felt fabulous!!

There were tons of other kids, babies, moms and dads at the park but I didn't feel bad because it was nice to have another single mom with me. So I didn't think "oh, too bad I am not with WH and S." PLUS Gatsby's post about knowing she will have that experience one day, with or without her H (maybe with a new H) has really resonated with me. So I feel confident that I won't be raising S alone.

Let's see...after the park, J asked if we wanted to walk to a nearby coffee shop and get something to drink and eat for the kids. So we did and got to sit outside, with a gorgeous little manmade creek to look at and listen to! It was very lovely in all!

And tomorrow she will be going with me to the Single Parents and kids dinner!
