We, as in Brian and I, realised that we had become stuck at home type people. We haven't been going out and socialising much. Maybe its because its winter, it does have something to do with our friends moving.
Whatever the reasons, its no good. We are social people, those who know my husband knows he loves to be in a crowd of people...entertaining them!!!!!!
Its not that we don't like each others company, but sometimes you need more.
So lately we have made the effort to start going out again. And its fun.
Last night we went to a bar with a friend I used to work with and her husband. Our husbands are so much alike, we always have fun. After the bar we came back here and the boys played Rock Band. It was nothing special, just good to do something else.
Brian has also met the husband of a girl I work with. They are also alike and get on well, so we are going to arrange something with them. I am feeling a trip to Atlantic City coming on.
Its strange that we went through this 'recluse' stage. But we are now out of it and ready to play.
Zack's step mum called me on Friday night. The Sperm Donor has walked out on her. He left just after we saw them all at Christmas. She called to ask if she and her sons could still be part of Zack's life. I am happy she asked this. If it wasn't for her, the Sperm Donor would never of made the effort to see his son. Also, Zack loves his big brothers.
I feel sorry for her. I really thought he had changed this time. They have been together 7 years. But it turns out nothing has changed. He has lied to her about all sorts of things, taken what he could and moved on to the next.
He hasn't called Zack since we got back from England after Christmas, now I know why.
I will tell Zack what happening with his Dad today. I don't think he will be too upset. I am going to tell him that his step mum and brothers still want to be part of his family.
I hope my boy doesn't grow up like his Dad. I hope he learns how to be a man and what is right and wrong from us. I hope its not something that's inside him, something that he inherits from his Dad.
A week off work

Most people take time off as a vacation. I seem to have vacation days
stockpiled against need. This week there have been combinations of family
happenings...

I think everyone goes through the 'recluse' thing occasionally. Good you got out of your 'rut', and had fun.
ReplyDeleteGuess I don't know the story about Zack/Sperm Donor, etc., but it's always sad when a parent walks out on a child. Hope things turn out well. Hugs.
That's cool that the stepmum wants to maintain a relationship even after he's gone. Too often kids have people ripped from their lives.
ReplyDeleteI think you should come socialize with us when wed have the new kitchen party~
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you are doing really well. I'm glad Zack's stepmum is a good woman, and that Zack won't have any more loss in his life.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
He'll learn about family and loyalty from you and Brian. Honestly, I think his relationship with his bio-dad will fade away...
ReplyDeletei'm way to busy all the time.. so any recluse time i can get is heaven..
