M, I've seen snow in the Windy City in May. But it would be fun to see some of you Northerners!
XW called last night and offered to pick S6 up at my house. I remembered her almost balking when I told her we'd meet her at her local gas station for dropoff on Sunday. I wonder if she's trying to normalize things again. She came in and sat down on the floor near the entryway, as if afraid to go further. I acted normal and relaxed, while I got together some mail and S6's things. As they marched out, S6 exclaimed "Finally! You get to pick me up and see me at my Dad's house!"
I will miss my past 'family' this holiday season - the second Thanksgiving apart. Yet, this time, S6 and I have a true home, with the chance to build our own traditions. I plan to decorate the house well this season, and to do some baking with him. We have a gingerbread man kit and we'll do some artwork as well.
