Friday was day 14. Two weeks since I started this "project". It was a rough day. My two older daughters are struggling emotionally and it is showing up in physical ailments. They both got sent home from school with upset stomachs. My kids who have never had attendance issues do now. They just want to be home here with me in our little cocoon. I don't blame them. I often just want to hide as well. As soon as they got home it was fairly apparent that they weren't sick. They were fighting like cats and dogs. So I called their father and told him he could have them that night. So far he has only had them one night at a time. I have never let him have back to backs. So this was big. I needed a mommy break and he wanted this time with them, so it was win-win. I took a bath, read a book and went to sleep all by myself in my big bed AND I actually slept. I think this is progress.
Saturday Day 15
I met an old friend for lunch. She divorced in 2008. She and I talked for a long time and I think we are going to be good for each other. In fact I know we are. She also doesn't have her son on Wednesday nights so I think we will meet a few nights. I am so lucky to have this continued support. We had some mutual nurturing going on.
