It's me again...

Been awhile since I've been on here again, life's been up and down actually since I last blogged....so things are falling into place for moving in to our place and we're so excited about that, I can't wait, it also means I'm close to bringing Bailey home and man I can not wait to have my little man back with me everyday, I miss him more than words can explain...having some issues with Jen though, seems she doesn't want to move here now, and feels that at 14 she's a big girl and can make big girl decisions, she want's to live at her grandparents full time in Altona.
I'm so not ok with this....I really want her here, but if not I want her to at least live with her mom....one of her parents should be raising her....it's nothing againt her grandparents...they are great, have always been great, but they're done raising kids and no reason they should raise mine just because of a move, everyone moves, it happens, and she's now choosing friends over family, Bailey will be alone and that bugs me too, he's always had Jen, it affects so many people...now I'm getting alot of pressure from alot of people who never supported this move to allow Jen to make this decision and in the end I will BUT I will not support the decision, approve of it but make no mistake, I will support Jennifer, always will....and whenever she needs me I'm here....

The other thing that gets me is it was brought up that people don't like that I'm a friend to my kids....one day I play the parent card and yet try to be a friend....unreal how under the microscope I still am, I've never done anything wrong to my kids and I'm the exact same dad I was when I was still married to their mom...I was always the dad in the backyard, in the street, playing hockey, or ball or hide and seek....yet now that I"m a single dad that's wrong? serious? And when I was married and Jen and her mom didn't get along or fought, I was asked to talk/give Jen heck cause she'd listen to me but now that's all wrong in people's eyes.....bite me...I know that's not very mature but geeez, just let me raise my kids, I"m doing a pretty good job with what I"ve had and it's only getting better. Sam and I are growing in our relationship everyday, learning all the little things as we now live together and she continues to grow in my heart, she's an amazing girl and I'm very lucky to have her.
Work has been good, had some fantastic feedback from customers about how my shop looks and about my quality of skate sharpening. I had guy walk in yesterday thanking me for sharpening his skates last week. He said they were fantastic and the first time all year someone got it right....I was smiling pretty big as I said thank you lol, feels great to hear that....

Well, should get ready for work as I have meetings today, hoping to get more house stuff arranged this weekend...have a great week.

see ya when I see ya...
