Time With My Girls

Yesterday was a pretty good day with my kids. After we were all cleaned up and ready to leave, we went to see Ratatoullie (spelling?) The girls enjoyed it. It was a cute cartoon. Then we came home and my mom came for a visit. After Ella was in bed Brianna and I played Guess Where and Monopoly Jr. Brian was here doing laundry and declined to play the games with us because he said "Three's a crowd". Brianna was a bit upset, but we had fun playing anyway. I am noticing Brianna has been having quite a few emotional outbursts lately. I'm not sure if she's just slipping back because of summer being so unstructured or if her mind is on our divorce. She says she just has so much in her mind and doesn't want to talk about it. So, I have been trying to just love on her as much as I can. Unfortunately Brian decided that he won't put the house into his name so that me and the girls can choose one of these low priced houses available right now. That means we have to keep living in these uncomfortable circumstances where he comes and goes as he pleases and we have to put up with his moods as he pleases. So, now comes the task of selling the home when I don't have the energy or ambition to clean it up for sale. I asked Brian to pick up the For Sale By Owner packet at the credit union so I'll read through it this weekend. We can ask about $10,000 less to do it by owner, so we'll see how it goes.

Today with my girls we'll be heading out to my dad's house for the 4th of July. The kids will enjoy it.
