Doodler- I live in NE Florida. We had some pretty strong winds and a lot of rain but all together we did well. A little bit of yard clean up and some minor fence repair (which I did myself!). We were without power for 4 days which was an inconvenience for sure, but I am not complaining. A lot of people in our area sustained pretty bad flood damage.
JujuB - thank you for the hugs. I may have over exaggerated my time with the girls. They go to his house for dinner twice a week and sleep there most Saturday nights so he is around. I am definitely the primary parent though if that makes sense. As his new family is growing and solidifying he is fading more and more from our girls lives. I see it, they see it. He says it's on our head! I am trying really hard not to be bitter. I have moments where I say things I wish I hadn't. I try to always be the bigger person. For two reasons... 1 it is what is best for my girls and 2 I keep the moral high ground. Ultimately I want them to have a relationship with their dad no matter what so I do what I can to facilitate that. Plus their brothers are really cute and they love them and I like seeing their excitement. Crazy right?
