This just rocks!

There are so many times when I too want to say:

"That was outloud...did you know that?"

A post by request

It was requested today that I post to give an update on what is going on here. Well, everyone is doing fine. I just finished catching up on all the blogs that have been written by the kids for the past two weeks. They are all posted on the Family Website. It is nice to be caught up.

I still need to get some posting done with pictures of Andrew's visit. That will be fun. Life has a funny way of taking over though and making it difficult to write about what is happening...

I am a Prophetess!!

Last night I said that I was sure something would come up with my best friend's ex regarding her trip. Sure enough it did! Quite literally actually!!

Her attorney emailed this morning that both the ex and my friend's son have the stomach flu. Apparently it is a sneaky spontaneous flu that strikes two people at EXACTLY the same time right before they are scheduled to travel for visitation, evaluation and her psychological testing (that has already been re-scheduled three times). It is going around you know.

Oh, and a little later we heard that it is a 4-7 day flu. What an amazing coincidence. Of course there were no signs at all that she was coming down with anything last night when she was going to an Open House and needed confirmation of the visitation schedule "no later than"...

I don't think I will ever forget the look on the kids faces when they heard that their brother wouldn't be here tonight after all. Chris was at work and they kept making plans for his arrival. I couldn't let them keep doing that. They just had to know.

I told them simply that their mother said she and their brother were sick and so they wouldn't be coming after all. They were devastated, absolutely devatated.

Another Surreal Moment

My best friend’s ex-wife really out-does herself over and over and over again. The gaps in her “thinking” are amazing. Just a little while ago he got an email requiring scheduling arrangements be made for his ex’s visit this weekend. She demanded an email “no later than” a certain time because she was leaving for the airport and declaring that he was NOT to call her but HAD to respond by email.

If my best friend had been refusing to respond to her attempts to arrange time that would be one thing, but he INITIATED the email exchange to set up the times and exchange locations. If you only read her email you would have a very distorted picture of the whole situation. For instance you might get the idea that he has been harassing her with phone calls. He hasn’t called at all!!

Something I’m sure will come up at the last second. It always does. And we’ll deal with it the best we can…like always.

Frustrations...

If you had an attorney, would you fire him, go pro-se and then get pissed off when you were contacted about a routine scheduling?

Well, that is what my ex did.

I don’t understand that mentality. Why would you get that upset about a situation you created for yourself in the first place? I don’t get it.

But then again it was because I got tired of all his crazy making behavior (and I got tired of walking on eggshells so I wouldn’t get my head bit off for the simplest thing) that I left him in the first place. Well, that and some of the things my son was saying. I just couldn’t pretend anymore.

It is just bizarre.
