Thanks for stopping by Miz J, Raine and rH - you ladies rock!
Channeling my inner rH with a big glass of wine tonight...
So today I discover S5's pet, our hermit crab, is dead. I know I'm gonna have to break the news to him.
I sit him down to tell him, and he bursts into tears. It was his first pet, he got it last year for his birthday when he turned four.
We bury the crab in the backyard. I say a few nice words about him (hard to say much, it's a stinking crab!), and ask S5 if he would like to say anything about his crab.
He looks down at him and says "I love you", and bursts into tears again.
It took everything in me not to cry.
We went out an hour later and got another crab.
As we're doing all this in the backyard, H calls and leaves a message on my cell phone. He sounded perky and happy. Said he wanted to see how the boys and I were doing, wanted to see how the sleepover went.
I texted him back after dinner and told him what happened. He sent me a short text back. Did not hear from him after that.
My parents watched boys so I could go to the grocery store by myself this evening. So much easier by myself!!!
Feeling blah this evening. Am feeling really tired too, don't know how single parents do it. Even though H was mentally checked out for a long time, at least he was physically here and could help out or watch kids if needed.
Figured I deserved a glass of wine tonight. It's been a long day.
Had a mini crying spell tonight. Sat down on S5's bed as I was filling up the water for his bath, and started crying. Not sure quite why. Didn't last long.
Don't think I could do a sleepover two nights in a row lol!
Tomorrow's a new day, onward and upward
