Well gang here is how the last few days have been....Thursdays visit to Sylvan was a breeze the ex didn't show up so of course the little one had no problems or fits(imagine that since according to him the little one has those fits when he is there or not) Friday went smooth the ex picked the boys up from the sitter after school so I didn't have to deal with him (thank goodness) Sat was the youth state wrestling tournament for my 10 yr old and the ex took him. My finace' (I love that word) and I showed up befor wrestling began. We sat with the team but a good way away from the ex and boys. I went on the mat to video and told my oldest good luck and all that good stuff. A little bit later the little one came over and sat with me for a few min and I told him I loved him and would see him tomorrow but he needed to go back up and sit with his dad (my goodness that was hard)So back up the bleacher he went. Well about 4 hours later my oldest wrestled his last match (and won I might add placing him 3rd in the state) anyway after his match I hugged him told him how proud I was of him and left (that was even harder than sending the youngest one back up to his dad) Fiance' and I had a great evening and rest of the weekend so good that when the boys called on Sunday and asked to stay an extra night at first Isaid no and then after a little thought I called back and let them stay So it was a great weekend!!!

Sometimes you just have to sit back and look at the whole picture. That is what I had to do yesterday. After I said no and really thought about it I was like what if that was us wanting to keep SD another night and she said No (which is what she would say) So I sucked it up and was the bigger person and called back and let them stay. Lets hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass later.

Thank you Anne your compliments just help to show me that I am doing the right thing.

That's so cool. And I so happy everyone had a great weekend. Personal, I think it is real sweet when at times the girls ask to spend an extra night. Gives ya alittle warm & fuzzy. And we've always let them. But it doesn't happen without BM putting a guilt trip on the poor kid first.

Enjoy. Jo
