The kids went to stay with dad and the soon-to-be stepmom.... who to make this shorter will be referred to as either SM or stepmom because she almost is and it is shorter.
Anyway so I get an email this morning from her. She gives me an update on how the kids are doing and what they have all been up to. She took L to the library and got him a ton of books. He loves books but needs practice with his reading. So they are working on a reading log. Love her! Then she found out about a teen program at the library. Last night was creative writing and she took K up there. She said that she was proud of K for going because it was a big step to go somewhere new. K loves writing and I am sure she loved it! On Saturday there is a teen girls thing for a few hours of watching movies, girl talk and eating junk food. How fun!!!
Then she was going to take the kids swimming. She said the kids like the new house and haven't fought as much as they did in the apartment.
Anyway, I am so glad that I reached out to her to form this friendship as strange as it may be to some. It is really a good thing and she is awesome. It is also making it a little easier to be away from the kids this summer. I know what they are doing and I know that she is keeping them busy, and truly cares for them.

I think it is really awesome that you two have formed a friendship and are able to put egos aside to support the kids and each other. It's a rare but great thing!
Wow....she really does rock!!
She sounds wonderful. I'm glad you've formed this bond with her and I'm sure the children will benefit no end. It's so nice to see this kind of arrangement these days where children can feel happy and comfy at the homes of both parents.
