Needing some guidance... 5

Busting, yes, it would be so fun to work out together... I'm so glad you're doing it more. I hope it's making you feel better!

RH, my plans for the 4th turned out to be the funnest thing ever. My new friend invited me to go out of town with her and her H's family. His family is from a small little town about 2 1/2 hours away from where I live. They own a farm that has a huge barn on it with tons of fun things for the kids to do. 4 wheeling, playing with the ducks, old fashioned teeter-totter (my kids were obsessed with this), sand box, and tons of kids for them to play with. They basically spent all day just getting dirty and doing what little kids should be doing. It was heaven.

On the morning of the 4th, his family owns a huge Wagon that they use to drive through the city parade. They had bandana's and cowboy hats and sheriffs pins for all of the kids to dress up in. My kids were so excited to be "in" the parade and throw out candy to everyone. It was awesome to see their excitement.

I sent H a picture of the three of them in their get-ups sitting in the wagon. He loved it. I did actually text with H quite a bit that day. We were both friendly and it was a little like back how we used to be. I can only imagine that he was probably pretty sad to be missing out on so much fun. And I'm not gonna lie... we had a ton of fun.

I met a lot of amazing people over this little getaway. Such a great family that I got to spend time with and I felt so blessed to be a part of their celebrations. Everyone absolutely adored my kids and made them feel so welcome. They kept telling us that we needed to come back soon.

GAL is important, my friends, I was never sad about not having H there. I just felt like life goes on. He is missing out.

Detachment... I am finally getting it.
