I'm glad the emotional roller coaster of the day has almost come to an end.

In an effort to try to GAL, I am going to ask H to help me split the weekend duties with D16, since over 90% of the time, she is with me. I asked him if she could stay with him for a little bit while I went to a meeting and he said everyone was interfering with his ability to do what he wanted today. So, based on what was going on, I cancelled my meeting.

But then I started to think, why is he the only one who gets to do what he wants? Especially when it is his friends that are prohibiting him from doing what he wants, not me. So, after the funeral for the friend, my goal is to ask H to alternate weekends of being mostly responsible for D16 for some portion of the day.

That way, I can walk, swim, contemplate raquetball, whatever, to get my butt out of the house and physically active.
