I tried to daydream, but my mind kept wandering

Yes Drew. I'm trying. It's hard at times because XW uses one password for everything. I can, if I choose, find out everything I want.

I've only given in to temptation twice this summer.

Journaling update. Had girls last night and we just vegged. That was good. They left this morning with XW and ex-MIL to St. Louis to see family members.

Last year, at this time XW was doing her big South Dakota trip with the biker gang. So this trip isn't as emotionally draining.

The girls were fighting a lot yesterday and we talked this morning. I told them XW doesn't travel much and this trip probably means a lot to her so please, please, please do your best to get along.

I am doing better not avoiding XW and making eye contact etc.

Me? I'm going golfing today, have a couple of stories to complete, playing poker Friday night, softball Saturday and working a running race Sunday.

Then next week I have the girls for the final eight days of summer.

I've been trying to organize all of the pictures I've taken post split to get some new collages for the house.
