New and need encouragement

[Not Quitting]

So H just spent most of the day at the house. We were supposed to go to the water park but got there to find it closed by a police investigation. It was strange having him in the house for so long. H and S13 played computer games together which is something that rarely happened - H usually played and S13 would watch. Some small talk, nothing heavy. It was hard watching him leave even though I'm almost glad that he did. Even S13 wasn't at all fazed by his departure - had to be called away from his game to say good bye. Guess we're both getting used to just being the two of us.

H may go swimming with us tomorrow but we won't know until sometime in the afternoon. If not tomorrow, H said maybe Thursday. Nothing like making definite plans with his son. Where has the man who would do anything with or for his son at any time? I'm just glad that S13 seems to be adapting to our separation pretty well. Maybe it's because the neighbourhood kids he spends a lot of time have just recently seen their parents divorce.

We'll have to see how things go when school starts in two weeks. H is the math whiz so was always the one to help with math homework. That's going to fall to me now. All the other subjects I'm good at.

Maybe that's a GAL for me - teach myself the stuff they're teaching in math classes these days so that I can help my son with his math homework. It'll also help me balance my budget as well. The only math related stuff I did in our M was the tax returns. H is going have to learn to do his own come tax time.
