Well here I go into Thanksgiving alone. My kids are gone, will be spending the time with their mother through the weekend. Don't get me wrong, they haven't been with her a long time and need to see her and I'm all for that, besides I don't have the finances to do anything for the Holiday til the day after anyway. So it's good they'll be having a dinner and time with their mother. And I'm not upset that I'll be alone, or angry or anything like that. In fact, my ex even said her bf felt bad and invited me to the dinner but that, frankly, is just too weird for me. Shoot, I don't like social gatherings with strangers much in the first place, let alone someone that's your ex's new partner! :/ It was a nice gesture though. Anyway.. the only thing is I'm dreading the time alone. yeah even the fact that it will be quiet for a few days isn't really all that appealing to me. I relish the noise of my children everyday and their "dad, dad.. come look at this, its hilarious!" every 10 min.

yeah I just dread the quiet time alone in my room. Of course I'm thankful and have reason to celebrate in spirit, the holiday. Things are going well otherwise and for the first time in probably 10 years, I'll be able to do some Black Friday shopping... though alone, it will still be a boost to my spirit to be out thinking of other people and getting them gifts

It's just the time when I come home and realize the kids aren't there or anyone else. :/

sorry just rambling.

Maybe you could think of some things to do so that when the kids come back you can have some stories for them about what you did over the weekend. Not only for entertainment, but to let them know you are okay when they are not there.

Thanks, actually it wasn't a bad night but they ended up returning friday night anyway. They wanted to come home and after dinner I just dropped their mom off and brought them with me
