It was a really rough visit for the boys and they came home early 

Last night the boys went to have dinner with their Mom and Grandma. It's  a two hour break, every other Wednesday and it was a disaster. The boys were home about an hour after they left. Emmett was having a rough day.  For some reason he was really, really anxious before he even got into the car. He was overwhelmed and already a donkey on the edge.  Grandma and I calmed him down and he ended up going off without a issue after that.  At some point, Emmett got upset again and wanted to come home.  They went to visit nearby family and Gavin ended up kneeling in dog pee. Needless to say, he was none to happy about that and so he wanted to come home..     I was…

The boys are off to dinner and I’m on my own

Yesterday took a great deal out of me and I'm dragging today. It's been a relatively quiet day here and for that I'm grateful.  Skipping ahead until now, the boys have just left to have dinner with their Mom and Grandma. Emmett was a little bit upset because he wasn't sure if he would like where they were going but we told him that he wouldn't go hungry and that Mommy/Grandma will figure it out for him.  Outside of that, it went off without a hitch and that makes me feel really good. 😀 I won't really have down time tonight because I have to go to the grocery store and run a few errands before the boys get home. I do get to go without them so I suppose that…

The boys are home from their overnight visitation 

The boys just got home from their overnight visit with their Mom. So far so good. 😀 Everyone seems to be doing okay and I haven't heard any complaints. Emmett walked in the house, found Cleo the cat and immediately curled up with her on the couch. He's unusually quiet but he's also still not feel well either.  It's going to be a quiet night. I don't think we're going to do anything but chill-out.  I'm liking the fact that no one is crying or complaining about how things went. I know their Mom was not feeling well so this may have been more of a weekend with Grandma.  Regardless.. I'm happy that they're happy.. 😀

It was a peaceful evening 

I had a pretty quiet evening without my kids being home. The only place I went was to Chipotle to get a burrito for dinner.  My birthday is on Monday and we probably won't be doing anything special, so I thought I would treat myself to dinner tonight. You can never go wrong with Chipotle. 😀 Anyway, I haven't heard anything from the boys, so I'm hoping that means they're having a good time visiting their Mom.  I have nothing planned for tomorrow either, aside from sleeping in. 😉

The boys are ready for their overnight visit with their Mom

The boys are ready to go to their overnight visit with their Mom. I was even ready about 30 minutes early.  😀 No one is particularly upset about going.  In fact, Elliott even said he was looking forward to it but I suspect I know why.  Once again, I have absolutely no plans for tonight except for treating myself to a giant burrito from Chipotle. It's almost my birthday and 1 of only 2 nights off a month I get.  I figured I'd splurge a little bit in myself. 😏 It will be nice to eventually get to a point where I'm making plans with someone special but I'm in no particular rush.

Why I’m so happy to say that my kids had a good visit with their Mom  :)

All too often when a marriage fails and kids are involved, things can get pretty ugly. You see it on the news with celebrities all the time. The normal, everyday people are no different. They just don't make the news. When my wife left last year, it was unexpected and I was devastated.  While there are justifiable reasons for me to be angry, resentful and betrayed, especially considering that I'm now raising our three kids with special needs by myself, I'm not. You hear all the time how people end up using their kids as weapons to get at each other. You hear about parents talking bad about their former partner in front of the children. These things are horrible but they happen all too often. That being said, when…
