Hanging on and hoping for the best

[BillyHo]

W left this morning for her trip. Yesterday I did a big 180. I had just some random GAL activities planned which included going out drinking and dancing with some of our mutual friends. Last minute I decided to plan a 2 night stay at a resort a couple hours away, just me and my 3 boys. In the past I always spent time with the boys alone and as a family but I would have never planned, scheduled and went just the 4 of us on a trip like this.

When she got home from work last night my S4 said daddy is taking us to a hotel for a suprise! She asked where we are going and I told her. She said"you aren't going out Saturday night with friends". I said "no I decided this would be more fun". She asked who I was going with and I told her just me and the boys. I think she was very confused by the whole thing.

Now while this is a 180 and May or may not be noticed by her. I know that my boys will notice it and right now I need them as much as they need me.

Any advice or comments on my sitch is much appreciated.
