My kids have been mentioning the S lately. D7 aked me out of the blue while I left her mom. I replied that I did not, that her mom left me. She paused and ask why she did. I said I didn't know. That's all I could come up with on the spot and it's half true and the other half is just too complicated to explain to her, not to mention that it might come out wrong.
D4 said that she wanted me and her mom together. She loves both of us a lot and seems to wonder why is it that she can only see one of us at a time. She practically never mentions OM. I kind of wonder what places he occupies in their lives. I find it strange that he goes unmentioned.
Last Wednesday, it was not my week, but I "babysat" them all day because of a strike at school (and WW didn't want to miss work; she never does). We had a blast. I wanted a full day and it was: we prepared sushi and sangria, went grocery shopping, did some craft, sang and danced, called my parents, cleaned a bit around the house. This week-end, we went to Six Flags, and then picking apples with friends. We always do lots together and I love it. I asked D7 what they do with their mom and she said "nothing". Part of me is happy to be a bright spot in their week, but another part wishes that they had a full life on both sides.
