Kind of an up and down weekend to be honest (mostly all in my head, even keel and detached with the W for most part and had great time with kids as always).
Friday - W worked midnights so kids and I hung out, played, watched some Duck Dynasty (S4 started morphing into Uncle Si ). Lot of fun!
Saturday - W says she'll bring donuts home for kids before I take kids to D7's gymnastics. She's late, I call her to find this out (not sure why she never feels need to let us know when she's late, she was in the car driving...). I end up taking kids to quick breakfast. Stay cool about it and don't bring it up again even though I hate when she does this to kids. D7 asked me "Why does mom always say she's going to do something then doesn't"... After we get home W says something about her stuff being a mess and she needs to clean it before realtor. I ask when realtor is coming since she's been saying it for 2 months. She raises voice but no fight escalates. I should have just kept my mouth shut about realtor and her crap being everywhere; it's a mess though. Kids are better organized than she is anymore. We both play with kids most rest of afternoon.
Saturday night - Take kids to Monster Truck Jam (it was a lot of fun, you'd think my little Justice wearing princess was actually a full blown hillbilly with all the fist pumping and yelling she was doing . S4 hung out taking it all in and asking lots of questions, wants to go back this weekend). Only negative of night was on drive there I looked over at passenger seat and W (obviously) isn't there. This is something entire family would usually do and first event in the "new family" experience. I won't lie, it got in my head to point where a tear actually streamed down the cheek. Thankfully kids didn't see (love DVD in the car). For whatever reason I felt overwhelming sadness that this was really happening and a little guilt for not inviting her. Again I know I'm doing it for right reason but it doesn't mean I have to like doing it or that it will be easy. Overall night was a blast but there were about 10 minutes there that really $ucked. No matter how far I feel like I've come there is always more work to do. Think main thing I need is more time.
Sunday - Uneventful, went to church and all hung out. Kept conversation with W to a minimum.
Personality is who the world sees, character is who you are
). Lot of fun!
