Okaaay

We are in the gift shop at Zoo Boo and Nicholas is looking through these pumpkins that hold earring and a necklace with different Halloween things on them. He finally asks me if he can get one. I told him no, that they are for girls and he said OK. We went outside to wait everyone to come out of the Haunted House and he seemed sad. I asked what was the matter and he said that he wanted to get one of those pumpkins for someone. I asked him who and he said Jessica. Well, what on earth am I supposed to say to that? No you can't get your dad's fiance something? So I said OK, let's go pick one out. He picked one and we bought it and he'll give it to her on his visit on Wednesday. What an awkward situation that was. What a horrible position for me to be in - my child is sweet and wants to do something nice yet I can't stand the person he likes - oh my, I guess this is just the beginning of the fun to come. I think I handled it the right way but I just don't ever know what the right way is lately. I guess I just follow my instincts and see and what happens!

I meant to say shitting not shitty. I really need a spell check all the time. Also, I meant to say handled not handles :)

You did not have to correct yourself, I was able to read it and know exactly what you meant! Thanks for the compliments, they help! I keep repeating that saying to myself, it keeps me sane!
