Happy Fourth Everybody! Nope, I've been just focusing on the kids this past month. It's easy to get back in the habit of that. I checked out the movies today, was thinking about seeing one by myself, have never done that before, but didn't really see anything I wanted to see. I'm starting to work out again, more than the 10-20 minute workouts I've been doing the past month. That feels good. I hate the holidays without the kids, and I'm just such a family person, I feel like I'm missing an arm or leg or something when I don't have the kids with me. Stuff to work on. I do have good news-I checked X and Ow's schedule again, and I get the kids Friday night so I'll only be without them for one week instead of 10 days. Still way too long though. When we were talking about it a couple days ago, D10 says she didn't want to go to her dad's. I know she loves him, but I guess this is hard on them too, the switching back and forth.
X asked for me to drop them off Friday morning on my way to work and I did. The kids came running out and said he wasn't there. I was worried he was still on his trip, so I broke down and emailed him, just that the kids said he wasn't there, and to let me know if he was delayed getting back from his trip. The kids said there was chicken in his house, but I was worried it was 2 weeks old! He emailed back he was with them and they're fine. Whew! I guess he was out running or with OW that am instead of out of town. I do think that was so thoughtless of him, they were stressed, but didn't say or email anything. Hopefully he realizes that was uncool, if not what can you do...
