Stuff to Work On

I may have succeeded after all. My oldest was wondering why the heck I had tacked up tow $5 bills on the wall in her siblings room. I told her that those two bills belonged to whoever cleaned that room. She then went straight to work. Yeehaw! Well, she soon realized that it was a very big job and didn’t quite finish. She made excellent progress and earned one of the $5 bills and some change. Then, the other two became quite concerned about finishing the job and started to help.

Then they quit, like two minutes later. Go figure. Heck, I could use the other $5 bucks…

My sister-in-law that made the awkward remark the other day came over. The kids had a lot of fun and we caught up on some things. Nothing weird happened and I’m happy about that.

I feel like I’ve really hit a point where I need more adult interaction. It doesn’t really matter with whom, I’m not specifically talking about women here, but I need a life outside of the one I’m living. My kids are doing well, they know that a divorce is imminent, and I am ready for it too. I need a social circle outside of <12 year olds and my own (great and very loving) family. I’ll add that to my list.
