Journaling (Father's Day edition): Started the day off lazily. Coffee on the patio and miscellaneous errands around the house. Met a friend at church and then headed over to pick up the kids.
The kid exchange was fairly uneventful. I opened up a card and gifts from the kids. I kept the interaction with STBX businesslike but cordial. The visit was brief because I told D4 I was starving for lunch.
Enjoyed lunch at D4's favorite restaurant and then picked up some more flowers to plant on the patio. Took the kids on a wagon ride and then grilled up some bratwursts. Assembled a makeshift tent downstairs, made vanilla coke slurpees, and pigged out on popcorn while we watched a movie.
STBX called to talk with kids on her way to work. Immediately put the kids on speakerphone and after a few minutes I said goodbye. Again, very businesslike but not mean.
Thanks for all the Father's Day wishes! I truly had a special day with my kids. I will try to cherish this day for as long as possible. For tomorrow morning, my L's retainer agreement will arrive to my email inbox.
