Another daylog... they are so few and
far between. I write them and then before
I put them up they are discarded... Somedays
nothing happens and others are just full of events.
Friends of mine lost a custody battle for her kids.
The judge was too lazy to do her job and just was
a stupid idiot. My friend had given up a child for
adoption about 15 years ago when she was just a teen
and an evaulator said that this made her an unfit
mother. I've met my birthmother and it takes a lot
more than giving your child up for adoption to be
an unfit mother. Really stupid stuff. She's been a bit
depressed about it because they are so far away.
Thank god I have a good relationship with my ex.
My wife and her went toy shopping over the
weekend while I watched the girls. When they
returned had a discussion of usage of toys. A bit surreal
but we are becoming friends again. Its how it should
have been but we got married and screwed it up. At least
changes to my daughters care don't require a trip to a
lawyer.
Work is still stupid. During a team building
excercise with my director I had to write down a leadership
quality he possessed. Respect? no... Trustworthy? no...
Knowledgeable? no... Confidence... THERE we go...
We have a winner. Come on resume do your
stuff.
We are baby/kid free this weekend and a we've got a lot of plans (Parenting
kills a social schedule! Friday going out to hang with friends. Saturday we
might just be having some fun at home. Sunday we're
going to a pot-luck this weekend. How do you bring a covered dish for 30?
On word Italian! I don't know if we are going to stay for the demos
afterward. Piercing and Hooks just don't sound like too much fun,
well at least for now.
I'm going on about 1 month with the new me. It's pretty good. My wife likes it
because I'm not getting pissed and snitty with her. I like it because I don't
have nearly as much stress. We both keep waiting for the
damn to break but if it was to happen it should have by now.
Still have bits of depression but they don't get me as down. Gee that sounded silly.
The other night after my 5yo said "Nobody played with me today, it was a bad day. Tomorrow
will be better."
I broke out into, 'The sun will come out, tomorrow'. Which elicited cheers from
both kids. Being a dad is great.
