15 and 13 are tough ages. Mine are 13 and 8 and enough of a challenge. I know you look forward to spending time with them. Make it count, but that doesn’t mean being a pushover, lol, though it may be tempting to spoil them.
I’m good, the family’s good. Thanks for asking Amy. And we’ll soon have a new addition(s) to the family. But I’ll post about that later. (how’s that for a tease!)
Sounds like you’re off on the great bachelorette adventure! I know you’ll miss your kids, but you and the dog moving to a new city sounds like fodder for a good ballad. That can be one of your writing projects.
Email when you can.
The kids are back with me after a week with their mom. They’re great. While it’s winter in S.A., it’s about to be summer here. They’re ready for it, although my daughter likes school so much she would rather it went year round. I have to find some camps for them to be in this summer so I can keep working. The crab is healthy. He’s the biggest hermit crab I’ve ever seen now. My son wants to take guitar lessons. I think I’ll wait until after I sell his viola, which he finally quit a few weeks ago. I couldn’t blame him, though. His instructor was terrible. The dogs are loving as always.
I’ll bet you’re excited about the move. Tell me about Cape Town and what your plans are there. Did your youngest make a decision yet about where to live?
I’m here. No it’s not the holidays, but my kids are with me every other week, and when they’re here it gets hectic keeping up with their schedules–soccer games and such. I’ve tried to start logging in mornings instead of late at night. Otherwise I’m on here to 3 AM (like now) and have to be up at 6 to take them to school.
Glad to hear your having a good day.About th ironing,I know when I have to do something I don’t want to that has to be done I put in music.Im good,have errends to do today.Have a great day Amanda:)
Hi Amy, thank you for your e-mails,they are always a welcome surprise.Was just on your post.Im sorry,but did I miss something? About the self harm? Sometimes its hard to keep up :P
no i can’t. i don’t have her i.m. address. kim knows it, but said she was going to be gone for a couple of hours. maybe sarah will give it to me next time she’s on.
hi amy, glad you’re back online. me too. i was away for a week just to take a break and to get some work done.
i’m okay. my kids were with me last week, and this week they’re with their mom. i’m trying to plan for a trip to alaska this summer, getting passports and all.
how are you adjusting to your oldest moving out? do you and the 13-year-old get along? i find that whenever i’m able to spend a day or even a few hours with one of my kids that we get along great–because they’re not competing for my attention!
so you put your house up for sale. how is the market where you are? here the market is bad, but then i’m renting right now and looking for a house.
