Mozza's own success story

[Mozza]

I forgot: it was D8's birthday today! We've been celebrating all week-end, touring friends and family in two cities. And tonight, I hosted three of her friends. I had decorated the house yesterday with yellow and white balloons and pink ribbons. All very cool. When I asked her what she wanted to do with her friends, she said that she wanted me to play with them. Awww... So I did the limbo, DJ, dance, Simon says... The tally of the evening includes two pizzas, one cake, 20 sparklers, one burn, 5 fire alarms and one girly conference in the bathroom. Of course, D8 was really happy about it all and she told me. And New Girl was quite impressed with it all (I told her; she never met the kids) and said I was a "cool dad".

Yesterday, I spent the morning in D4's classroom for a workshop with parents -- only two of us showed up, and not even STBX who is unemployed. I like to see her evolve amongst her classmates - I learn new things about her. Then I took both of them to the doctor at lunch time, which involved bus rides, eating lasagna in the waiting room, and me not eating until the whole ordeal was over at around 3 pm... They behaved very well.

So it's been an intense few days with the kids, and I'm very proud of how it turned out so far. School is off on Friday (Easter) and we'll celebrate D8 again until STBX picks her up at 5 pm. I can't deny that I'm looking forward to some rest on Friday evening! Well, I should be seeing NG...
