And the Kids are Home

Hooray!

I have to say, I was very stressed out while they were gone.  I don't think anyone can blame me for that...my ex has a solid history of both being irresponsible where the children are concerned and also being deliberately spiteful towards me.  Never a good combination.  But like I mentioned before, I took every precaution that I could, and I spoke to them every other day.

They came home this past weekend.  And from what I can see, they had a fabulous trip.  They went to the beach every day, they attended their dad's wedding, and they got to travel.  They even got to see the Eiffel tower during their 7 hour stopover in Paris.  Nice.

So now, I feel a bit better.  Perhaps I won't be so stressed should he decide to travel with them again.  I said PERHAPS.

In the meantime, while it's unfortunate for his new wife to be married to a grade A jerk, it does mean he is finally (well hopefully finally) off my hands and officially someone else's problem.  While I wouldn't wish those problems on anyone, and while I do hope he will make the third time a charm for this marriage, I do have some major relief in the fact that he hopefully will have other distractions to deal with, which means less time to bother me.

In the meantime, I can sit and cuddle and enjoy the kids again.  Hooray!  My kids are home :)
