Finally being able to have more than one full day off has been fabulous!I took off the entire Thanksgiving weekend so that I could spend some quality holiday time with the children, and catch up on some much needed rest! The weekend started out early with Che`, Logan, and I going to The Nashville Rescue Mission to volunteer.
We were scheduled for the 4:30am to 7:00am shift. It was really cool to have the opportunity to serve, but I feel like I needed to do more. Che`, my thirteen year old wants to do it again.
The mission needs volunteers all of the time, so we will probably go back to volunteer again!
Thanksgiving dinner was enjoyable, as we were able to eat together as a family. Yes, my soon to be ex-husband was there. No, we didn't kill each other. We both figure that we tried to do that enough during our marriage, why should we do it now? Our weekly dinner visits seem to be working, so why fix something if it isn't broken?
I don't understand why so many people have such a hard time staying civil while going through the divorce process. People ask me, "How is it so uncomplicated with you guys when you have children together?" My response to this is simple. "It is because we have children together that we make it uncomplicated."
Don't get me wrong. There are times when I want to pull my hair out because it is mentally taxing to do so much on my own. Why add to my stress by going for my ex's throat over what can be perceived as trivial matters? Besides, the children are happier this way!
