Jim0987 #10 - getting ready for mk8

[jim0987]

So today is about 10 days til my wife moves out (based on her timeline which i dont see why it wont be met) - As it stands i will be out of the country the day she moves.

Anyway this weekend is my turn for the kids so had a good play with them this morning while getting them up. took them to D3s football.

I had to go buy some food as the house was empty but the kids are quite happy doing and it gave me an opportunity to assess the onesie epidemic (no sightings today)

Had homemade tagine for lunch, and made smarties cookies with D3 while S1 had his nap. Generally then just played with them and read them stories. All pretty normal stuff for me.

I was a bit sad this morning before football, and had one moment when my W was talking about some of the stuff she is taking and if thats ok - to which i replied quite positively 'its fine, its just stuff' she then talked about being reasonable and taking the few things that meant something to her. I calmly replied that she was taking the only 3 things that mean anything to me (meaning her, D3 and S1) - she knew thats what i meant.

The rest of the day my W was in and out packing her things etc. and for the most part she kept out the way and i got on with parenting. we chatted at various points and i got a few smiles for things i said but there wasnt any fun between W and I per se - not surprising though given whats going on

No real friction just distance today - apart from the comment above none of my defenses played out and thats quite consistent now for me. I also had plenty of opportunity to snoop and didnt (and yes i know its sad this classes as a small victory)

So all in all I think it was a reasonable day and as I said for some of my changes, I dont notice them so either they are really starting to stick of I've relapsed badly (i feel like its the former)

Out the way now just doing some tinterweb stuff before an early night me thinks.
