Round 2

[Tryin2figuritout]

Enjoyed the day yesterday, but a bit ticked as the W spent the night at her female co-worker's again without telling me. She mentioned she was going to watch a movie, but not spend the night. Gonna call it out when she gets back because I'd normally not say anything.

We went to monster trucks with S10 and had a great time. Real interesting mix of people there. Then my D13 had her best friend come over and we had homemade pizza night and hung out (as much as you can with teenagers). It was a good day.

Going to my niece's b-day party today and hoping my family doesn't overwhelm me with a pity party. My mom & dad's way of dealing with things is ignoring them. It's a big problem for me in my relationship with my W and one of the main things I'm working on.

When my parents/family do deal with something, it usually turns into a big "sulk and sigh" fest. I've actually come to embrace my sitch pretty well and am enjoying the growth ("what doesn't kill us makes us stronger"). It can just be a terrible weight that I don't need or want right now with the pity party.

I've got some travel for work this week before the kids get out of school for Spring/Easter break. Looking forward to catching up in person with some of my work peeps. Busy time right now at work and that's been a helpful distraction.
