My ex is taking our daughters on vacation over Spring break. He's not the typical divorced dad who has his kids every other weekend. In fact, in the 4.5 years since he left us, he's had them for an entire weekend only 3 or 4 times. So I haven't been away from my girls very much at all!! I'm afraid that this week is going to be really hard on me.
Most of my friends will be gone as well. And money is tight, so spa days, shopping sprees, etc. are out.
I do have a 100-year old house and a dog, LOL! So I know that I can keep busy with house projects, and dog walks (if the weather cooperates --- I'm in the NE and there's still snow on the ground here!).
I plan on catching up on my reading, but I fear that I could waste away the days just lounging on the couch and reading. And that could become a depressing habit.
What suggestions do you have for filling 7 days and nights?!?!?
