Going In Circles

[shouldistillhope]

I feel like i should share an example of me backsliding a bit yesterday. My wife texted me yesterday morning while i was at work saying she wanted to wait to tell the boys about the D until Monday when i brought them back from camping. We agreed earlier in the week to tell them friday before i took them for the weekend. Here is how the texts went:

M: have you said anything to the boys about what's going on? I have gotten numerous phone calls the last two days from friends and i hope the boys dont find out until we both tell them.

W: I have not, and i would like to tell them on monday when you bring them home. i have errands to run after work tomorrow. i will have them packed so when you pick them up you can stop at the house and pick up their bags.

M: We need to tell them Friday if we can. I dont want to wait until Monday because then i have to be the one to leave them for the week.

W: We can tell them at 7:30 when i am done working out then. Or come by tonight and we can tell them.

M: I will come over tonight and we can tell them.. Its too bad that working out is more important for you than telling the boys.

W: Yep.
