The boys will be going to dinner with their Mom and Grandma tonight.. They do every other Wednesday dinners and they fall on the weeks opposite of their every other Friday over-night stays with their Mom.  It doesn't give me a lot of time to myself but it is a tiny little break. More importantly however, it's a chance for them to spend some time with their Mom.  I'm not a bitter person and I believe it's important crucial for the boys to have a happy and healthy relationship with their Mom.  This is a far from ideal situation and one that I would have never chosen for myself and the kids.  Some things however, are outside of one's control and all you can do is find the positive, pick…

The boys just got home from their every other weekend, overnight stay with their Mom. For the past year,  these visits have been very difficult for them,  especially where Elliott is concerned. That being said,  the visits have recently made a turn for the better and that's a really good feeling. Today it seems to have gone well once again. That doesn't mean there are difficulties with transition but that's to be expected and is pretty much out of everyone's control. The boys are home and it's good to have them home.  The transition is rough but it's good to have them home. ☺
