How do you balance everything now?

One minute/day at a time. I am still finding it hard to sleep. I know it is important, but other things are still finding ways to push sleep to a back burner.....

You seem very disciplined as far as making time for all the things that fill your own love bucket and being such a great dad.

Thanks. You and my other friends here are helping fill my love bucket.

Hey Kevin..

What makes it hard to sleep? What can you do to change that?

I know sometimes I get caught doing repetitive things because it allows me to zone out.. that being numb seems like a better alternative. When I do stumble to bed I'm exhausted, I've been up too late and the morning comes all too soon.

My current tricks are to turn the computer off before going to bed. When it's really bad, I give up on sleeping in the bed and go watch some catastrophic event on TV... I don't know why that eventually lulls me to slumber.

Sometimes getting lots of hugs from my daughter helps immensely.

Perhaps it comes from having a severe lack of touch in my life. But you already do massages and pedicures.

Maybe going to a physical therapist could kill two birds with one stone. You get your physical pain taken care of and touched at the same time!

Let me know if you need more helpful suggestions.

*hugs*

Keep giving those hugs to D!

*HUGS*

Hi Scookie!

Talked to a good friend on the phone (it was nice to just listen and be there for her). I went out and had a drink for her. I played some pool. I got a hair cut. I went out and did laundry. I did some stretching. I listened to music. I danced. I talked to my kids on the phone (of course the movie had more attention than dad). I am here for a little bit to offer support. I will play a little on the PS3 (ASSASSIN CREED). Topped of water on fish tank. May watch a movie.

Hi BH,

I am in a good place right now. The tension with W is SLOOOWLY going away. W is still stuck. I am praying she gets to happy. Weekend, Soccer games at 10AM. Have the kids for 5 days! I will play it by ear and just have some fun with them.....


Thanks for checking on ME ladies! I appreciate it!

Wow, Ready, 5 entire days with your babies! That is wonderful. What are you planning on doing with them? I am so glad that W is starting to thaw towards you. Be kind, be compasionate, but dont be there for her unless she ask (of course you already know that).

I have to say as a mom, being away from my S for 2 days is soooo difficult. I can not imagine what it must be like for you W. I am glad you are getting this opportunity to spend such qaulity time with them. Have fun.

I started crying tonight while gathering D6 clothes to go to laundry...(Missing her and boys)

It will be very good to spend time with them! W and I see the kids several times during the others parenting time. Soccer gives me a chance to see/play with kids. W is coach for S9. W is also teaching church school this year.....

I plan on: Lots of HUGS and KISSES!!!!! I plan on letting them just play. My W has everything so structured. I like the unstructured. Hopefully I can get some one-on-one with each of them and read or spell/count etc.....
