Say What??

[25yearsmlc]

Bustingout and IO - Thank you for asking about S4. He's recuperated so much better now. He's definitely more himself. I'm so thankful his surgery went well and he is doing better.

He will continue to have a catheter for another 2 weeks. H has taken it upon himself to spend the night with him. That's right, he's on full time dad mode.

Journaling----
Since H is around more it's kinda weird. I forgot what it was like to live with him. I kinda liked being the captain of my ship but it's nice to have company. Gotta find balance.

AMEN!!^^^ I recall having a lot of awkward times at first. I thought, "THIS is what I wanted back? Be careful what you wish for!"

IT's like getting to know each other all over again and YES you did learn to be Captain of your ship, but even though you are working to find balance, don't lose ALL the independence you gained...


We talked yesterday about family stuff. His talk was about managing our properties. My talk was about parenting stuff. We talked, we listened and S4 was watching.

I want to be a good role model for my kids. I want my kids to know what is good communication and I hope they will learn that from us. I didn't get that from my parents.

there are resources now that our parents - in fairness to them - did not have. WE must avail ourselves of those resources and get the tools we need.

Everyone's asleep and it's after midnight. This is now the only time I get to be alone. I enjoy watching TV with him but I also enjoy time to myself. Again, balance.

Keep seeking that balance out. For everyone's sake.

I didn't ask him to help care for S4. I didn't ask him to spend the night nor did I expect him to volunteer. I don't know how long he'll be here and I'm not going to ask.

After he goes to work, I notice he still has his toothbrush in the bathroom sink. That's how I know he's staying again.

I don't want to think about tomorrow. Today is just fine.


sometimes, today is ENOUGH.

MC is Thurs night.
Hot topic - Rebuilding Trust

actions + TIME is probably going to be what they'll say. Check out Denver's thread and see what you think...
