At first even that was tough but now after almost 8 months I actually value that time time. I use that time to decompress and usually to just veg and watch the TV shows that I've recorded. In so many ways I really do wish that he would take the kids for more time though, the kids really do need to know their dad and spend time with him. It won't be easy when he takes them for something more than over night (up till last week we've shared 1 car and I wouldn't let him have the car for 2 nights) but I know that its in the best interest of the kids. Try and enjoy the weekend, recharge your batteries and know that before you realize it your son will be back with you. And you both will be better off and more appreciative of each other for the short separation.

STBEX does not seem to understand that I still regard that day as magical and perfect.... I refuse to tarnish it even though he's a ........... (imagine your own word here ;) since I refuse to speak ill about the numskull only think it;)) Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:09:24 +0000 http://mattnem05.com/2010/01/29/five-question-friday-12910/#IDComment54575049 http://mattnem05.com/2010/01/29/five-question-friday-12910/#IDComment54573528 I have always liked that song, when JMM sings it. There was another band that song but they just were not as good. I've fond Walmart to be something I deal with, though at times I cringe at their pricing structure and how the prices are different depending on which store you go to..... and not in a good way :( but I really need to go for the low price right now so I go there.. but not for fruits yuck I've not had good luck with them for that....
