Dear Friends, I Had the BEST Weekend!
Seriously...the best I can recall in years. I enjoyed time with all three kidlets from Friday night until Saturday afternoon. Then my son went to spend the rest of the weekend with AH (which, it seems, went well for both of them). I spent Saturday afternoon and evening with my girls. Then my dad came up on Sunday morning, and picked up DD15 for their annual outing for fancy sushi and a school shopping trip. I spent Sunday with DD12, then dropped her at a party/sleepover on Sunday night and picked up DD15 from my dad. Spent Sunday night and Monday with DD15, before dropping her off with HER dad.
Time with all my kids, in various combinations, including one-on-one time with each daughter, which is a rarity these days. I rested, napped, unpacked, hung pictures. I carried stuff down to the storage area. I did a couple of loads of laundry. My girls were CLEARLY at ease, relaxed, and happy. Even our DOG seemed much happier.
