Just got back from a week-long vacation with the kids. We had a blast, did a lot of things and enjoyed ourselves. I have to say, there was definitely a push by me to make this a 'Single Parent' vacation. Even though I was staying with family; I decided that I would venture out with the kids by myself. Took them to the museum, the zoo, an amusement park. It was really good, I found that I was comfortable and was impressed with my 'preparedness' as things came up. Kids wanted to go play in the fountain down the city? Sure, Dad's got a change of clothes packed in his bag. Train delayed? pull out the crayons and coloring books. Regardless, it was a really fun time with them.
Other than that, not too much more to report. WW picked up the kids on Saturday and as she was leaving, it was pouring and I said 'bye' and she gave a slight wave back. I think it was instinctual. Wow the bar is pretty low, but I'm definitely at the point that my focus is to try and improve our relationship for the welfare of the kids. That means for me, its being cordial and keeping my mouth shut. I'm even at the point, that if I had the opportunity, I'm not sure if anything constructive about the sitch could be said, so silence is best.
Anyway, still doing well. Thanks for checking in on me.
