Thanks D. Definitely agree that it is the journey that matters. Living mindfully and with a positive focus makes that journey much better.
Mother’s Day was awesome. The kids are with XH but he dropped them off last night so we could have breakfast together. Was SHOCKED when the kids wandered in with a bouquet of flowers for me. XH had made a point of stopping at the store to make sure they had a gift for me. Can’t remember the last time he did that... Pretty sure that was a rare occurrence even when we were together. After I got over the shock, I texted him a thank you and he wished me a Happy Mother’s Day. It seems that maybe XH and I are on the same page when it comes to forgiveness and moving forward and having a good coparenting relationship. Feels good.
This afternoon, the twins and I went on a little road trip (S13 HATES road trips...too anxious about the destination and the time it takes to get there) and found ourselves in the next town at a mini golf course. And a Mother’s Day miracle happened...they got along the entire time!!! What a gift to not have to play referee for a day. When we got home, XH was working in the backyard...starting to build his chicken coop. He mentioned he was going to put in some stairs off the back deck which isn’t a bad idea but I asked him if he needed a permit. He said probably but he wasn’t getting one. My reply was, “Thank gawd you and I are divorced ‘cause that would be a big fight.” I then called him by his dad’s name because that is exactly what his dad would do...lol. We both laughed. He knows I’m not wrong.
Spending the rest of the evening at my sister’s. Guilted her into making me a MD dinner...lol. Great day!!
