SD7 is off to spend the summer with her BM in a few days so in theory (unless BM throws any spanners in the works) my husband and I will have 2 months child free.

We are thinking of starting to try to expand our family in the autumn with our own kids, so this potentially could be our last childless summer for a long while. What would you do with a child free summer?

Our thoughts are to get out and enjoy the city more, I want to do some art projects and maybe take a break away somewhere if we've the money. What would you do if you had two months of summer child free?

My husband is pretty good about most stuff, but he hasn't taught SD how to properly apologize, it is usually a half embarrassed apology given while hiding behind somebody with a smirk on her face. He claims she smirks because she is nervous: i don't give a fuck. That child will apologize properly to me this evening if she has to stay in time out all night. Beepers going...back to try once more for a sincere apology...am i asking too much of a 6 year old?

My husband got all the custody papers signed by the judge this morning so we are definitely going to be taking SD7 with us when we move out of state in two weeks time. I'm really pleased all the paperwork is sorted out and we know what is happening. I know that SD will miss her mom but she will be much better off with us and we won't have to worry about her.

We are moving out of state (5 hour plane ride away) and SD is coming with us. BM it seems has used up all of her luck and favors from friends and family and has no place to move to as she is being evicted. That and the lure of 6 months CS for having a golden uterus has persuaded her to let SD move with us.
