Nice Week

Last week when the boys were here they each were so excited to see things back in Oklahoma. They had their favorite restaurants and places that they wanted to see. Alex was so much more open and close. He was relaxed and happy. Andy seemed a little stand offish this time, but not that much. He is confused but as time goes by, he'll be like Alex. Actions speak louder than words. So, I am not as afraid of my ex wife's words anymore.

She still sent them to me with only the t shirts on their backs.. she sent some old pj bottoms with them and Alex's medicine was still in a plastic back with notes as to which color pills to take. They sent no jackets even though our tempature gets down to 45 degrees at night.

Anyway, they went back on Saturday night and I'll see them in less than a month!
