It's Gonna be a GOOD Week !







The weekend was a quiet one ......... a healing time.

Saturday we did go out for coffee with a friend we've reconnected with in the lifestyle -- and that was good fun!  We parted with promises for dinner soon and more socializing.

Sir Steve had issues sleeping -- and was quiet .... and I'll say it -- a bit distant.  I got it -- get it.  BUT we have to let go of our wants .... and give this new custody a chance.  We have to talk with the lil one this week and explain the changes -- and I believe we have to be more honest with her than either of us have been..... we have to have the hard talk -- about courts and judges making decisions we don't have much control over.  That they want us to share her more..... 

BUT

also I believe we need to reassure her she has a small say in this too.  Somehow - carefully - diplomatically - I want her to understand if this isn't working for HER she needs to speak up.  If not with us -- if not with her mother -- than maybe her teacher.  I believe she needs to understand she has a voice. 

AND

as much as it scares me -- there is a HUGE chance that mother will get 50/50 and I have been tip toeing around that with Sir Steve........ 

By Sunday the mood had started to improve... eldest daughter contacted us and asked if we wanted to 'hang out' on Good Friday.  She always knows when to reach out -- even Sir Steve was happy to think they'd be coming to have dinner and 'hang out' with us.

Then midday on Sunday Sir Steve told me to go get dressed.  (ok ok!  that's not exactly what I was hoping he would say - cheeky grin) But we went out for lunch at a lovely new Indian restaurant and enjoyed some yummy food and lots of sunshine.

After we got home he headed off to pick up the lil one and we all got prepared for the new week ahead.
Sir Steve is off all week..... the joys of the type of work he does -- feast or famine it seems.  BUT it'll be nice to have him home -- even if it is a little hard on the budget.

All in all the weekend was just what we both needed.
