Had a pretty good weekend... S and I went hiking on Saturday. Ended up on a trail a bit beyond our skills but we worked together to make it through. He had fun and it was a great dad-son experience. Sunday I took him to an indoor amusement park that was running a holiday special. We spent the whole day just having fun. Today was much more low-key and mellow. Not to mention dad needed the chance to recover after 2+ hours of laser tag STBX had to work today so I volunteered to take S.
Wrestled all weekend knowing STBX was up at the wedding of her guy's brother. Still eats at me and I wish I could make it stop. Haven't figured out how to do that yet though...
Tomorrow is the first day of school. That was the other reason I volunteered to take S today so he could stay here and I could take him to school tomorrow morning.
Bracing myself for the rest of this week... this is the week of the year that I now dread. Saturday marks the one year of bomb drop. Sunday marks STBX's and my six year anniversary. Monday marks the anniversary of my dad's death. Tuesday is September 11th. And Wednesday is my dad's birthday.
How odd that when STBX and I picked 9/9 as our wedding date one reason she tossed out was so that I could have a happy day to balance the anniversary of my dad's death. Now I get two days of crap-tasticness right before his death anniversary.
Five days of pure awesomeness.
