I think I see the picnic!

Thank you Arsene, hopefulinga, NG, Bustingout! I love hearing your praise! Whoo Hoo for me! lol

I did it again today. Set more boundaries.

S4 didn't nap and H will usually take him to the kids klub at the gym. I text him that I wanted S4 to stay home so that he can have a good dinner, rest and be in bed and asleep before 8. (H usually brings him a 15 min after 8). H kept saying he wanted to take him and I stood my ground for 2 reasons.
1- I want S4 to have a night routine and rest well
2- I don't want to see H after the gym (I had already told him this)

Also, H said a friend had invited H and S4 n D1 to their house for Halloween (not me). I said, "That's a great idea if I were dead." I said it in a very positive upbeat way (sarcasm is 2nd nature to me). He asked again and I said, "definitely! if you were a widow!"

He smiled and said, uh so you're saying no? I repeated with my first sarcastic remark.

Uh uh he's not taking my babies on Halloween! That's where I draw the line buster!!

On 4th of July he took S4 to his first fireworks show at the Queen Mary out on the harbor and I was a bit bummed. No way I am not compromising myself anymore!

I sent H a text when kids fell asleep (at 7:45pm). "Kids are asleep. See you tomorrow after work. Have a good night" His reply, "thanks for the reminder. have a good night too".

Reminder because it's Thurs and we had agreed he wasn't coming over on Thurs.

I feel so good! almost a full 24hrs of not seeing him come my way!!! I seriously seriously feel good. maybe...too good.... could that be possible? Oh no I am not being a downer about this, this is great!
