The little things.....

Now that the sprouts and I have been through the flu like crud that has been going around I thought I would do a post.

Things have not slowed down that much lately. My youngest sprout is a year older now. So a big celebration was had at my sisters. Of course all the snow melted before the party again this year so plan B was in place. Roller skating and a movie. All the kids loved it. I was under the weather but made it through the weekend. Nothing like taking your own box of tissues to the movie theatre for a kids movie.

Communication between the former spouse and myself has been a lot better. Kind of scary sometimes but very nice. He had been very good at keeping track of additional stuff now. That is an extreme plus. I do not have to remind him anymore. Not sure if it is a coincidence or not, but this new communication all started when I told him that I thought my so called online friend was his wife. After the online friend and I had it out for about an hour, I have not heard from her since, and he has been great at doing his fatherly duties.

He even took the sprouts to the doctor to get checked out. Before he would just tell me that he thought they were under the weather and probably should go see the doctor. I thought he was going to do that to me one day, but he ended up doing it all by himself. He made the appointment and everything. I was impressed.

I hope everyone is keeping warm so far this winter. A minus 2 to start the day today, but it is a balmy 12 degrees now.

Good for you, good for the ex. Maybe old ex's CAN learn new behaviors.

Sorry I have been out of touch.

You have not been out of heart and prayers.

If he can learn new behaviors it is not because I am teaching him them. I just continue to keep him informed of the sprouts stuff going on the rest if for him to decide what to do with the info.

I was in your area over new years. Yep it was a pretty exciting drive home through the 10+ inched of snow that day.
