Thanks for having my back guys!

This is going to be a long journal entry...

So the weekend was good, DD and I had fun, mostly (poor thing gets ouchies when she's with me :(). She had a few of those 'not going to be daddy's friend' but I just ignored and kept on. We went to the park on Fri, picked up dinner on the way home. Sat we ran a few errands, picked up rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and had that for lunch with cucumbers. Plenty left over so I took the meat off and stored it in a ziplock as per Alice's suggestion in an earlier post. We then went for a long bike ride. I saw a dirt path over a slight hill- Instictively I jumped my bike up and over it. DD pushed her bike up the hill and once we were on the dirt path she had fun. The dirt path led us back to the paved bike path so it was just a slight detour. But DD said she wanted to try the dirt path again. So again I go up and over the hill with wheels catching air. Poor thing tried to follow, got up about 2 feet, stopped, yelled 'oh oh' and back down the hill she went with the bike. Luckily she was wearing her helmet and the bike didn't fall on her. Got back up with a slight rash on her palm and crying of course. I felt so bad I should've stopped to make sure she got up first. So I told her we'd find a picnic bench along the way and have a treat. She was happy again, we got to a small picnic area and shared a Cliff bar...she got the chocolate brownie all around her mouth, it was so cute. I noticed she was eating with her helmet on so I tried to take it off and pinched her under the chin...cried again...I felt so bad again. Got home, changed. We were meeting a dad and his two D8 and D6 at a park nearby...I met him at a single parent meetup group. His story is pretty sad too...

He's 49, wife has diabetes type 1 and has been losing it slowly. Now his D8 was diagnosed with it too. Poor thing. He has to test her every two hours and give her 2 or 3 shots a day! He works even farther than me and his commute is way worse than mine. Over an hr and a half. His mom lives with him to help out but she's old and can't do a lot. He said he's trying to hold it together for the kids because the mother of the kids is useless (he has full custody) and he finds himself overwhelmed and without energy most of the time. I saw his kids playing with DD, they're such cute kids.

Oh crap...I missed half of my meeting...they're bringing lunch so I should go and finish later.
