Thank you???

Is Thank you really that hard to say???

I'm not sure why I thought I would get one but I did?

I stepped way out of the comfort zone this weekend and helped my kids make their soon to be step mom a Mother's Day gift. It was just something small, but I did, I though long and hard about it and when my almost 3 yr old asked if he could make one for her, I said .....ummmm ok

Did I think she would acknowledge this, in some way ....yes

See the thing is, she refuses to talk to me. She has said maybe 20 words to me in the last 17 months and that happened durning a group meeting to change some guideline. 

I'm trying very hard to be the bigger person for my kids, I'm trying to make this whole thing work so we can all get along and adjust to this new "family"

We have some important events coming up in the kids lives, events that their father should be at, if the recent past shows anything that's not going to happen. BUT it should. 

I have come to terms that in order for him to be around, she will be too. And that's fine by me. 

Honestly, I see some family's where the parents get along sooooo well, they all show up for important events, they can actually go on vacations together, they can be civil when in each others presents and well I'm jealous that we can't be like that! 

I guess at this point in our lives that's all still a dream of ever happening???

Sadly

Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing moms in the world ❤
