Got back from our long planned Disneyland vacation last night. I had an absolutely lovely time with daughters and MIL. Was wonderful to see girls giddy with joy.
Its the first time in 3 months, that my impending divorce was not at the forefront of my thoughts every day, and I have to say that felt pretty awesome. This was a temporary break, but knowing that someday it will be my permanent reality is something to look forward to. I thought I would be saddened by the sight of all those intact happy families - but truth be told, I was able to just enjoy it for what it was - a fabulous 3 generation vacation.
However, when D6 was flipping coins into the wishing well, with her eyes tightly shut, and immense concentration dripping from every pore, it didn't take much mind reading to guess what she was wishing for.
Tomorrow I meet with STBX to decide if we can come up with an agreement prior to meeting with the mediator. Looking forward to a lovely day of putting together a spreadsheet with boxes for us to initial.
Looking forward to catching up on everyone's threads.
