LAVH: Am I the only one thinking of things this is going to interfere with? (kids mention)

Hello ladies:

These sort of things can be rather difficult but it is ok. I am a divorced mother of 3 (11, 10 & 9) and I have joint custody with my ex-husband. He has the kids one week and I have them the other. So even though it seemed I should tell my family first I had to tell him to work out an arrangement with him. So first I had to pick a date for my surgery, when the kids are already with their dad and then he would keep them one additional week. My best friend moved in with me a week ago to help me get the house in order. My mom said I stayed to far away so she bought me really cute pj's and said, "let that man take care of you" and so he has.

He has really been a gem, he cooks for me, let me sleep when I am tired and wakes me only for something major like work, lol. It is going to be somewhat difficult for him because he and my middle child don't get along (my son has ADHD) and they constanly fight but he is really trying so I can not argue there.

I am sure I am not going to miss much, I have contacted all the kids teachers and event planners and so forth so the only thing I will truly miss this year is 1 of 2 social vactions (and this year is a big one), bought a new ball gown and everything. But the one thing my frat sister said to me is, "You take care of everything, please let us take care of you." So I am going to kick my feet up and rest until I drive myself nuts trying to get better.
