First Sunday of September ....

and so far it's been bittersweet at best. The kids left just before noon .... and that itself was hard. I can take the swear words and the tantrums .... I CANNOT take hearing him tell either / both kids to "go to momma" and see the kids look at me confused. OH how I wanted to shout at him and her and to the heavens "she aint their momma!!!!" but I kept my cool .... asked the questions I had and in the pain, watched them drive away .... and wondered why they didn't take the shortcut but it's not my business I suppose ....

Filled up my gas tank and went to the water to collect my thoughts before heading to my place and taking a nap til 4. Got up and ate and prepared for work .... where I am now. Closing. About to punch in again .... so more later tonight : )
