Just catching up now. Happy belated thanksgiving! We all do have a lot to be thankful for! What a tough weekend though with S. I’m so sorry to hear that he was sick. Poor S just can’t seem to catch a break – last year with the tubes, and the colds and pink eye this year! You’re a great mom and take such good care of him even in those more trying times. Glad he is feeling better now though. I understand the frustrations of "doing all the work" by getting up with our S's when they are sick and up early EVERY morning, but in the end, we win, as we also get to enjoy the most special moments too. Some days, all I want is just 1 morning to just sleep in, but then when he gives me that big hug when he first wakes up, it's not so bad. =)
I don’t even know what to say about H. You’ve tried to include him in, but I think you’ve learned your lesson now that you still really can’t count on him for anything so it’s best just to count him out. At least you have other people in your life with your family who are there for you unconditionally! H can have his preset times and that is it. He’s not being a good dad and is not truly putting the effort in to grow that R with him (having him spend the night, etc), so it’s not something you can force, but in reality, it’s his loss. It’s unfortunate too that you didn’t get more in the settlement, but like you said, you still got what is most important with S, and now you can move forward with your clean slate!
Which ornament did S pick out this year? My S picked out a little Lighting McQueen (Cars) Ornament. haha.
