^ It's when they do things like that, you remember why you keep them around
Today....
*Talked to the boy and then had a power nap before starting my day
*Had a meltdown
*Got the youngest and the ex out the door for a birthday party
*Read a lot, thought a lot, processed a lot, talked a lot
*Texted the boy, IM'd the boy, called the boy, boy liked it
*Realized life rocks when you get it right
*Played Sims with the oldest
*Had a nap
*Stopped myself from telling off the ex
*Did all the laundry for the youngest
*Texted the ex and ignored all passive aggressive remarks and felt grown up but mentally flipped him the bird
*Came near another meltdown but prevented it
*Called the parental units and feel thankful for a Dad who is good at talking me down
*Had a heart to heart with Dad about my marriage with my ex and heard thoughts he had never shared before
*Lit candles and had a heart to heart with the oldest
*Put the oldest to bed, saw the ex and the youngest came home
*Was cordial to the ex, kissed monkeygirl on the head, now wrapped up in my bed for the night with my candles, music, and quiet
