WAW on the Peninsula

[LITB]

After the craziness from my last post, things have calmed down. Perhaps more like I have calmed down.

On Sunday we had a great day as a family. We went to church (including the W). After we got home, we sat down with the kids and told them that there would be some changes in our future. I let the W do all of the talking, since it is her decision. She told them that she would be moving next month for work and they would be staying with me until mid-summer. Then they will be moving with her after that. Basically they will have two houses without going into any discussion about mommy and daddy not being together anymore. It went better than I anticipated. Thankfully they don’t quite have the capacity to grasp the big picture yet. After our family meeting, we went for dinner and a movie.

Yesterday was a good day as well. Had my 5th DB coaching session with Leni in the morning. After that, I went to grab breakfast on my own, followed by a walk along the ocean front and finished up with a little meditation. It felt good to relax the mind and get away from the house. When I got home, I took the kids to play tennis at the park and for some ice-cream.

Last night the W told me that the appointment to file the petition had been moved up from tomorrow to today, so we had to do some paperwork last night. That certainly makes my stress levels go up like crazy. I just reminded myself that this isn’t over and I will continue fight until the end. We joked around a little and we actually finished the paperwork quickly. I helped get the kids to bed and then I did the same.
