The Things love decorating the tree. I get stuck with putting the dumb thing together. I was thinking of putting it up tonight since they're with their dad, and surprising them when they get home tomorrow. I don't know. I know they like to do it, but it always ends up in a screech-a-thon. I love that the Things' dad and I are still able to be decent to each other. I called him to ask if he could help me with finding someone to get Thing 2 from school this week since the van is not even starting, and he said, "Sure, don't even think about it. I have it covered." I started crying and he said, "Don't worry, we'll figure it all out. Just take the evening to relax and rest. [The Things] are here with me, and everything will be ok. We've all gotten through worse. Take care of yourself." I thanked him for helping me out and he said "of course." Right as he was hanging up (he thought I had already hung up), I heard him say, "Poor thing, bless her." He'll never know that I heard him think out loud, but it really meant a lot to me to hear him say that.
