cos today it snowed & if I was still with ex, at best, he'd have shut himself in our spare room on the computer/phone all day or tried to get to the office & probably got stuck there.....(we were worse hit area today so had loads of snow)
instead my BF was stuck here last night and so we both took day off work & had snowball fights with my 2, built a fab snowman & then went to pub for lunch pulling my 2 on the sledge
he earns far less than my ex BUT my life feels richer cos he gives me & my children TIME.....he has custody of his own DD & although its not a bed of roses, time is far more important & valuable than money
I have always realised this & indeed have several friends who Ive always said were richer than me cos they had time as a family....and finally I am getting it too....
my ex doesnt get it - I txt him this morning saying how much snow we had & he rang enthusiastically chatting to DS about the snow....but he didnt sound regretful that he wasnt sharing that moment - just sounded jolly for DS - which is good but sad for him that he doesnt see that to be here today would make him so much richer than actual cash
