I will not settle for anything less than 50/50. I only wish I was as adamant about other things.
Quick journal entry-
The boys game last night went well. They both did well and are improving every day. It is great to watch and brings back fond memories of when I was that age and playing ball.
I got to the game a little late, as usual, because of my work schedule and W was sitting with the kids and told me, "Sorry it's too crowded. You'll have to find somewhere else to sit." I smiled and did just that. I sat with some other parents and cheered my boys. At half time, I talked with some people and mingled. Took my seat back for the second half and enjoyed the game. Afterward, I talked to the boys, and held D7 and S4. They asked if I had just got there and I just said there was no room for me to sit by them. We played for a while and got a snack. W volunteered to stay and help clean up and I told the kids I would see them at home. I had a headache and was hungry. It was @8:15 when I went home.
They all showed up about 20 min. later and I helped get them showered and ready for bed. I went to bed when they did and W slept on the couch again. I really do sleep better without her, now.
So, that was my first taste of what things will be like as far as the school events with the kids go. It really sucked, but I made the best of it and put on my happy face and enjoyed myself. Something I must get used to.
