Awesome Weekend!!

Wow! We have had a really good weekend. Friday night I came home and MSH had dinner ready for us. How sweet is that! We did a few chores yesterday and then did something that I have wanted to do for a few months…we took our boat out on Clear Creek and then out to the bay from there. It was awesome. We took a picnic dinner and ate it on the boat. It was a lot of fun. We only stayed in the bay for a few minutes, it was really windy and the water was really choppy. No way we could eat our dinner in that water!

Today we went to church and then I took Dan out to eat for Father’s Day. I also got him a few gifts that I thought he would like…and he did!

As for made up holidays I agree that we do not need a special day to tell someone that we love and care for them. That is something that should be shown on a daily basis. Who knows how long we have here on this earth. Our time could be up today or tomorrow and it would be really sad to have not taken the time to tell someone that we love them. It makes me think of Tim Russert and his passing this week. He had just passed an echo-cardiogram and stress test with flying colors. He died of an apparent heart attack. He was always telling his family that he loved them. That is the greatest gift he could have given them especially to his son, who will always have those loving memories of his father.

Through my separation and divorce I have never talked bad about my ex to my kids. I would never do that. I want my kids to get along with their father. Our problems were not their problems and should not effect the relationship that they have together. It would be very self-centered for me to try and control anything about their relationship and that is not what my life is about. I am glad that they have a good relationship and that they also get along with his new wife. Well only CMS2 has met her and seems to get along with her just fine. As a mother that could not make me happier. I want my kids to have healthy relationships and I would do anything to help them achieve that. I would never try and manipulate my kids against anyone especially their father.

Have a blessed day!
