Yup, it's pretty strange, isn't it! We always got along well as a family and I don't put any other interpretation on it. Since my Dad got sick she's been pretty good to me. I like our family time and honestly don't see this as holding me back in any way. Maybe I'm way offside...who knows! I don't feel any kind of negative feelings after we've been together but I also don't sit around thinking about getting back together. It's OK the way it is. Sharing a hotel room was a first for me but it was fine. Anyway, tonight we're going out as a family to a friends place where a bunch of us, who raised our kids together, will have dinner and an evening gabbing about our kids and life. Tomorrow, is Easter dinner at my Mom's (first holiday dinner without my Dad ) and Monday I dump her! Reconciliation...nah!!!! I'm happy these days. I have more than most people in my shoes have or at least that's how I see it at the moment. I don't see any deep seated motives on wife's part and if there are, she's out of luck. I ain't going back to the life I lived before with her...I'm not that desperate! Oh and the zoo, I had a great time...as my pictures no doubt show. Alright everybody pile on and pound the crap out of me.
Just to update, I backed out of tonight. I'm just kind of bushed and decided to stay home tonight and relax. Too much running around lately. Since my Dad passed away it's just been running from one thing to another. I phoned wife and asked her to pass on my regrets to our friends. I need some alone time! It's more important to do the Easter thing with Mom tomorrow then hang out with people tonight... and when we visit our friends we usually don't get home till 1:00 am. at the earliest. So, tonight is a rest night for Whatis...maybe the four hours of walking at the zoo yesterday took it out of me, but a man only has so much to give
I think you are right to have a quiet night alone, then be with you mum tomorrow. I cannot imagine how she must be feeling. Will there be other family with her tomorrow?
Take care.

Hey Wii, I can sure relate to the running, running, running thing. I'm spent with my move etc. You must be emotionally and physically exhausted. Be careful- you do have a tendency to get ill when you've overdone it.
Ya know - if you're good with where things are at - that's all that matters. No one here needs to pound you or tell you how to handle things. There is no right way or wrong way to do it - we're all different. I wish I had a better R with my ex and would do it for my kids if I had the opportunity but that is not to be. Things may be different for all of you if either of you has a significant other down the road. But for now - do what feels right.
Have a wonderful Easter. Nice you will be there for your Mom. My Dad and his girlfriend are coming over along with my daughter and her BF. My son cannot come as he is moving in less than a week to a new apt in Toronto. I will miss him. I really miss my Mom! Josh is here as well. We're hosting brunch. Good thing I still have my dining room set and good china!
Well, I had myself a nice nap late yesterday afternoon and then felt re-energized and decided to go to our friends place after all. I brought the ladies each a chocolate rose for Easter. We had a wonderful evening and I got home about 1:00 am, as predicted. I was also able to bring my own car and that way if I decided to leave earlier I could do so...didn't happen though! Today, I'll be going to Mom's for Easter. My brother and sister will be joining us and hopefully my two nephews. I bring the junk food and drinks. I can certainly understand your need for rest SFO, you've been busy busy busy! Tomorrow will be my day of rest and I'll probably have to do my income tax...fun wow! Oh, and get the kids to take down the Christmas tree...I think it's time.
Well, I didn't make it to church today. I got up and got ready and then turned on the TV. They were talking about the election we're having in Canada and how the third place party is surging in the polls. My Dad was a life time supporter and member of this Party and now that they're actually making an impact my Dad's gone. How he would have loved this! The tears just started flowing and that was that for church. Another one of those moments. I miss you Dad.
Had a nice family brunch, sunshiney day although it started out rainy. Set out some dusty silk palm trees so the rain could clean them and it stopped raining!
Dad (former CA) did my income tax for me as always and brought it over. YEAH - I just have to sign and mail and get money back. NICE!!
Ashley insisted she is not too grown up for an Easter Egg hunt so I obliged (I still like doing it). We had ham, scalloped potatoes, hot cross buns and fruit salad. YUM!
Hope you are enjoying your day. Why not hang eggs on the tree?
Hey SFO, we had ham and scalloped potatoes too! Is it a Canadian thing?! We had a great evening together and I got to say the prayer, that was always Dad's job. The kids, wife and I went down to the end of the street to a creek where I used to play as a kid. We had a fun time swinging from vines and climbing trees. Wife got right into it. Yes, more Facebook pictures to view!
) and Monday I dump her! Reconciliation...nah!!!! I'm happy these days. I have more than most people in my shoes have or at least that's how I see it at the moment.
