All plans have been made for my Dh and Ss to leave this Friday. You can feel the tension in the house. On Saturday I heard my Dh asking Ss if he was excited for the trip. What the heck?! I asked my Dh about it and he said it slipped out. Why on Earth would he do that.

For Father's Day I thought it would be nice if we all went for lunch. It would be the last time going out as a family for a while. But Ss got diarrhea and stomach cramps and had to stay home. I volunteered to stay with Ss so my Dh go with our kids but he didn't want to. My kids were pretty disappointed. They were looking forward to it. My Dh will refuse to do things if Ss won't be there. I wonder what will happen once Ss is at the facility. Ss never wished my Dh Happy Father's Day. And he won't wish any of us Happy Birthday unless we remind him. He just doesn't care.

I did go out and buy some more clothes for Ss. I got some polos and removed the buttons. I then stitched it so it would not be so open (which Ss hates). They don't look too bad, considering I can't sew. I did find some jeans with a stretchy waist and no zipper. But they look terrible. They were too big so I had to sew the sides and make the waist smaller. Ss can decide if he wants to wear them.

The plan is that Ss gets dropped off at the facility Sunday morning. My Dh stays in the area till Tuesday. And my Dh and I go back on the following Saturday during visiting hours and drop off Ss's books and other things. We can't do that now because he'll notice us packing. My heart has been aching for a while now. I hope all this will be worth it
