Getting ready for the kid exchange was rough. S15 took care of his own stuff, but S10 had his things scattered all over the place. I hear this gets easier with time, but d@mn if this didn't svck.
It does early on but it does get easier with time. It eventually becomes your new norm and you get used to it. when I have the girls Sundays, after church, are spent doing laundry and gathering their things up to take to their moms.
We have a suitcase for their clothes and 2 of those big blue IKEA bags for miscellaneous stuff, their backpacks for school and my youngest has this big stuffed lion she takes back and forth as well.

I've always suspected that XW could be reading my posts. It's not a breach of trust for me, or really unexpected, since I know she's tried to snoop on me in the past. I do wonder what XW thinks, if she's been reading my posts.
Mine can read away....I really don't care I have no held anything back.

I don't know why, but just looking at the calendar on the site really got to me. Like, this is our kids' lives now. This is the result of our M... I feel awful for my kids.
It does get better with time. It was hard at first not seeing them every day and I very much wanted an intact family as well however I do look forward now to my weeks off and not having to get them ready for school, make dinners, etc. It is very bittersweet.
I have no held anything back.
