I wish my dog was like blue LOL! As long as she would flush that would be sweet! Wonder Pests (kidding) are on now. I am sitting on the floor with them watching them build "houses" out of books.
Yep. D3 is up but is watching TV on the couch. Wonder Pets just went off. She wanted to go wake her brother and his friend up and I wouldn't let her, so she's irritated.

It works for the most part. My yard is a mess. They don't seem to mind the tractor, but when I fire up the leaf blower they run like armageddon is upon us.
Ugggg, so I hear the ringtone playing just a minute ago and it's the J*ack A**. More stupid questions. Why does he have to call? It makes me feel yuck. I know I don't have to answer, but since we have kids I feel like I cannot ignore him either. Stupid questions: JA- What are you doing? Me- Watching the kids. JA- Watching the kids? Me- Yeah. JA- What are they doing? Me in my head- why don't you try actually seeing them and find out a** hole! Me- D3 is playing down here and S8 is upstairs playing with his friend who spent the night. JA- So, how are mom and dad? Me- Fine I guess, I haven't talked to them today. JA- So, did you file the taxes? Me- Yes, they should be back in about 8 or 10 business days. JA- So, you already filed them? Me- Yes. JA- So, 8 days from Monday? Me- I guess, I'm not sure. JA- Well, okay. M- Alright, bye. Hang up.
Again, WTH? It's like he calls just to try to bring my day down. I think he really wants/ needs the tax money so that's what it was about. The small talk was probably just to lead up to asking about the taxes. I think he's already starting to drown financially. The self destruct is going to happen.
Is it normal that every time he calls and I have to talk to him it just makes me feel super stressed inside? Ugggg. The longer I go without talking to him the better I feel. He does need to step up with the kids, but don't know if that will happen.
It's been well over a week since they saw him. Didn't see them the whole spring break. Jerk.

When it comes to the self destruct, that will happen on his time. Who knows when that will be. Try not to focus on that, you can't really make it happen any faster. Do your best to focus on you and your children for now.
Does he ask to speak with them on the phone?
Try to remember he is in teenage mode. No responsibilities is the way he wants it for now. Does he get angry or emotional at all?
He may have called for the taxes or he may have been just touching base. Some of them will do this. They want the best of both worlds.
