Didn't end up taking D6 skiing, becuse the snow report sounded pretty dire (Curse you, drought!). I think I will spring for season passes for next year while they are still cheap and keep my fingers crossed we have a better year. The more I think about it, I would like to work this back into my life.
To compensate for the cancelled ski trip, had a one on one day with D6 today, and bought her the next size bike (although she won't let me ditch the training wheels yet). As an aside - they had an "antique" Schwinn with the same sparkly banana boat seat I rocked as a kid - and they wanted $400 for it. Not sure if that made me feel old, or really cool 35 years too late. Anyway - bike was a hit which opens up another outdoor activity for us. Lots of fantastic bike trails in the area. While I am not particularly outdoorsy, I notice right now it does help keep my PMA up.
Couldn't sleep last night, couldn't find my Kindle, rummaged through my bookshelves and ended up reaquainting myself with some Saki and Wodehouse. I realized I really need to start reading for pleasure more. While I've gone on the occasional jag, I haven't done it consistently since D3 was born and I miss it.
Anyway- got through Valentie's Day without any heartache. There are about 3 B and Bs that are popular wedding venues within a mile of my house and there's not a weekend that goes by without someone's Pinterest inspired decorations adorning the signpost at the street corner, so I'm pretty immune to the rest of the world's in your face romantic gestures.
I'm pleased that D6, D3 and I seem to be hitting a groove as a party of 3. D6 is mopey for about half a day when she returns from her Dad's, but seems to be pretty stable for the rest of the week. She did ask me if I could buy some massage oils like Lisa's . Ouch. Apparently OW is quite the amateur masseuse.
Ready to start the week - a few divorce details to tackle this week and then we should just ride out the waiting period.
