Score. Got XH to switch weekends.

Now I feel guilty.  Tell me stop feeling guilty. 

XH's weekend was last weekend. I am going to Chicago Sunday now (It was Monday) and coming back late Thursday.  Then it was supposed to be his weekend.

I had asked him to switch because I was going to miss DD, but we got into an argument and he absolutely refused, saying I was "screwing up" his weekends.  He did not tell me why, but I do know R is going to KC this weekend because he told me last weekend during our 2 hour peace talk.

I was fine not switching, but I've been assigned something new and while I'm there, my boss really wants me there Monday AM. So I'm now leaving Sunday.  I called XH and he reluctantly agreed, saying again it screws his weekends up, but to help me out, he's happy to help.  No arguing.  Yay!

Now I feel guilty. I am going to MISS DD!  And I was looking forward to my weekend with her.

I am also going to dinner with friends tonite. So it's one more night alone with her tomorrow and then I won't see her.:(  This is the longest I will be without her.  WAAAAH!

Tomorrow night is a no tv night. Pizza, games, reading books, playing dinosaurs...whatever she wants to do.  And she's sleeping in my bed. I don't care...I need my cuddle time. 

(Jesus. I think I need to start looking for a boyfriend. LOL!)

So I guess I feel bad because I sort of feel like I'm shirking DD.  I also don't want to leave her long, but I have to.  But here is to getting along with XH.  Here is to cooperation. Here is to co-parenting for however long it lasts.  Jesus, I hope it lasts. I'm going to give it my very best effort on my end. 

And here is to a little me time in Chicago. Even if it is for work, I need to stop feeling bad being away from DD and have a little fun while I'm there.   I deserve it.  Joe's on Weed or Kingston Mines, here I come!

    Stop feeling guilty! It will be hard being away from her that long, but sometime it has to happen. And nothing wrong with a little cuddle time. My 16yo dd crawled into bed with me during the night every night until she was about 10, and she's no worse for wear. Kids need cuddle time too! Try to enjoy your time away!

    Yay for XH cooperating and not putting up a fight. It will be hard to be away from DD for that long regardless of which weekend you switched. You need a little you time. DD will be ok

    This morning was a very sweet one with DD. She was on a good mood and giggly. I stayed way too long at daycare. Its so hard to say goodbye!

    Next Friday cant come fast enough.
