7 hours to go and I will be picking up the girls! So not looking forward to it and curious as hell as to how this whole weekend will work out. Will SDs be upset, pissed in fact or will they understand and not blame us (wishful thinking I know!)?

Well, I'm cleaning house, getting their room ready, going grocery shopping, etc. Thinking positively but prepared for the worst. This is one of those times I feel the worst for fdh here's why...

Since his divorce he lived with his father, he saved all he could, invested made wise choices. He and I met and we decided to buy a house. We closedon the house last week and now this weekend is the first weekend his girls will be here, but the damper is everything that has taken place with this bday party this weekend. Now it's very bittersweet! fdh is upset that he has something wonderful to share but it's clouded with the issues that we attempted to avoid in the first place with bm and bio family.

I'm going to make it special for him, even if it's not appreciated by his daughters. I'm going to flowers, wine, his favorite beer, cook a nice dinner, make the house smell pretty, and greet him with lots of love -- because lately ive been a bear!!!
