Thanks Jules So I have come to realize that it is a whole different set of pitfalls that one has to watch out for once you get into the recommiting phase. Different kinds of feelings that run through your mind.

I am going away next week to Phoenix for a trade show, I leave next Wednesday morning and am gone until Sunday afternoon. W's birthday is the day that I get back. So last time I left for work I was down really bad from the moment that I got on the plane, I struggled very hard on that trip. This time I am a little different, I am not scared, I am however recognizing that I don't really want to be away from my W for that long. I know that the space can be good for us, however we have had such great interactions lately that I don't want to go that long without seeing each other. I will be fine, just hate that the trip comes so soon into our piecing stage.

W also dropped by again last night, we did homework with my S10 together and it was very nice. The coparenting aspect has been missing for some time now and I think my S10 really loved having both of us helping him out and working together. She also confirmed the travel dates for our weekend away together, we had discussed doing this to have some alone time and rekindle some of the romance. We will be going to Orlando for the weekend on February 23rd. My W is a theme park nut, loves the rides and adventure of it all so we thought Orlando would be a perfect getaway. We also went over our trip to Scotland in June and the various places that we want to visit and such. That will be a wonderful vacation for just the 2 of us as well. The kids will be in Colorado with their grandparents so it will be great not having any concerns about the kids for those 9 days.
