I wake up to Ned kissing my hand, gosh he is so cute.
I can hear the kids making breakfast in the kitchen. At moments like this I think about how good my life is.

When I was about to get up Ned takes my hand and pulls me back to bed.

"Kate. Lay with me just a little bit longer, please?"

"I wish I could Ned you know that but I really have too go.

"Why do you always have to go and visit your dad on Saturdays?" Ned was getting annoyed.

"Ned? Seriously you know my dad is sick and I have too take cate of him!"

I could see it one his moves that he had been driving last night. I hate when he drinks, he gets so immature and boring. And I know my kids don't like seeing him this way.
I have many times asked him to stop drinking but he never listens, and you know what I'm so tired of this... I'm not sure how long I can do this anymore... But I still love him... Oh why is this so hard.

I got dressed and walked too the kitchen and hugged my children and asked if the wanted to visit grandpa and get some ice cream on the way. And of course they all said yes.

"Is dad coming with us?" Joe asked.

"No he is sick.." I said slowly.

"Again? he is always sick mom.." Joe now had tears in his eyes

"He will get better" I said as I hugged him.

the kids stayed silent all the way too the ice cream store. But as soon they got there ice cream the forgot all there dad problems"

I saw that Mia was looking at me and I looked at her and smiled.

"Mom... I'm not stupid I know what is going on with dad.."

"Mia let's talk about this later please? when the kids aren't here"

Mia just nodded and kept scrolling through her phone.
