How come guys can never write nice thoughtful stuff like that? Sometimes I wish I was a girl...I'd be one happy girl for sure- for more reasons than one
KR, hope you're doing well!
Romeo... guys CAN write stuff like that! Not buyin' it.... lol
About being a happy girl.... hmmmm..... very curious comment indeed! You might have to expand on that.
I am doing pretty well... most days.
Had a wonderful weekend away in the mountains, which included a two hour hike to a beautiful waterfall. I felt alive, at peace and renewed.
Then, I came home to D14 questioning whether she might choose to live with her Dad. That has had me in turmoil for the past few days.
My H is staying in the house, in a small town about a half hour drive from the city I am moving into. This is where I work, and will no longer have the long commute. I am temporarily living with my parents until I can get on my feet and get my own place. The original plan was that the kids would live with me there. This means changing schools.
S16 was all for this right from the start. He loves the idea of changing to the city school because of all the sports opportunities. D14 has struggled with the idea of leaving her friends. Of course. I have told her all along I completely understood that.
After many discussions, some tears, and a lot of anxiety on my part.... as well as a long and suprisingly productive convo with H.... we seem to have reached a compromise.
D14 will still change schools into the city where I am living, but will live "most of the time" in small town with H. H also works in the city, so he can drive her in to school in the mornings. She can take the bus to my parents home where I can see her every day after school, and then H picks her up to take her home with him. She will be with me some weekends as well. This way she still sees her friends in small town a lot.
I have agreed to this... because I think once she starts at the city school, she will begin making new friends, and will end up being with me more and more. It will help her transition.
Whew.... this has been a roller coaster week so far.
I will try to post something about my convo with H later... still processing it.
