My son made me laugh

My stbx dumped me, been in love with two other guys in past 3 years, while we were still married (15 years), she dumped me in September, we now apart since mid November. I have custody of our 7 year son every second weekend, and Tuesday and Thursday nights. Last weekend I had custody (I am still recovering from a knee operation) and we had a blast exploring nature trails around where we live, lunch at McDonalds when it rained, video games in the evening (he won, of course).
So this morning I'm getting him ready for school (typical, two guys in their undershorts, not ready and running around like headless chickens as the clock heads towards school start time) and I remind to gather all his things. Why? he asks. Because you are going to stay at your mom's for the weekend.
Well, he says, that sucks.
I fell on the floor laughing.

Did you try not to laugh? I try sometimes it doesn't work. My 8 yr. old asked me "mom what am I supposed to do with this spaghetti" I said "why?" he said"because it sucks".

I did tell him that vacuum cleaners suck.
He fell on the floor laughing.
We did make it to school on time, and I did clean up the mess (he left his dirty underwear on the sofa!).
I miss him already.

Bless your son. He loves you and that's such a gift. I'm so glad you have great bonding experiences. I wish I could say the same for my EX but I know it is not true. Bless you for being a terrific caring and responsible father.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
