12 hours... that's all that stands between me and a 15 day vacation! I have one shift to work tonight then I'm out of work for two weeks, plus a day. I'm pretty stoked. I have the weekend to myself and then a couple days to take care of errands. I drive to DIA and pick up my 16 yr old son on Wed!!!
My son:
And then he and I will load up and head to Co Springs to pick up my daughter.
The Little Ninja:
This will be the first time in over a year and a half that I have BOTH my kids together with me. I am beyond stoked. I am still in disbelief I am about to see my son. It has been wayyyy too long. One of the most unfortunate things to happen in the divorce from my daughter's mom is that she felt the need to feed my son lies, which in turn caused a HUGE riff between him and I. One to the point he would not even speak to me, or return emails for 9 months or so. Thankfully, now that issues with her and I have calmed, she did the right thing, came clean to him, and he and I are on the road to rebuilding our relationship. So, with him coming out, the weather looks like it will be awesome, so that means he will get some time to ride dirt bikes with me and the rest of the MountainMafia, we will do some cooking out, hanging with his little sister, and then the three of us are headed up to spend a day snowboarding next Friday.
I found this old pic of my kids together, and it kind of typifies their relationship, even though they live around 1,000 miles apart:
I really need this time with my kids. I am totally single again, and some time with them together will be therapeutic. There is a lot of things I miss since my divorce. I miss having a best friend, experiencing close times, feeling like I was taking care of someone and they in turn were taking care of me, but most of all I miss having a family. I think having both of my kids with me for a few days will give me that sense again... at least for the time being. I know that this will be a time I take absolutely NOTHING for granted with them.
Life is going to be good for those few days. I know I want to create memories for each of them to always have. It surprises me how close the two of them are considering their age difference and the miles between them. They both love each other whole heartedly, and my little one especially is very outspoken as for her love of her brother.
Maybe this is a new beginning for me. Maybe I need this time with my unconventional "family" to recharge a bit and get my life back on track. I do know kids ground you.. show you what is really important. I need that from time to time. I know as I got out of the shower today I was looking at all the different nautical stars I have tattooed on my body. I thought of how in researching them I found that pirates and sailors of the old days used them in navigating the seas... it helped them find their way. I thought of how the entire reason I started to get tattoos of nautical stars was to signify that I need help some times finding my way... in life. And now looking at where my life is, and what it has become, I see how my kids are just the same thing to me... my own personal nautical stars.
I hope everyone is well...
