lmfao this is soooo my H!!! He took both girls during rush hour to school supply shop one night in August. Didn't have their school lists or anything. Der!!! He calls me, I have to frantically look their lists up online and help him shop aisle to aisle, ALL WHILE WORKING. I remained light and breezy, but all I could think was "Dumb a$$, I am not there, I don't know where the dry erase markers are". I could hear his irritation as well.
You did well, only so much we can do when we are working with...well....our H's.
I can't wait to see the Size XL costume he picked for S3. hehehe Better get two boxes of pins.
PS: Target has cute costumes, at least he has that going for him.
lol, lwb. so glad you understand and feel my pain. apparently we are supposed to be equipped with all sorts of knowledge-by-osmosis. the "where are the dry erase markers" is so my H.
I suppose I should be happy that he is even in a target. I love target, practically live there, but he hates the place.
thanks for letting me know the costumes are cute. I haven't looked yet. and I have some guilt...my mom made all of our costumes from scratch. I feel a built guilty that I am not the sewer she is, not by a long shot.

I loved Halloween whether my mom made our costumes or we bought them (it varied year to year), so you are good to go. No guilt.
He is at Target, he is involved with the kids, he is trying. Some of these WAH's won't even care what their kids are for Halloween or even see them dressed up. Let's try to focus that, I try to be so thankful that my H is still so involved with the girls.
Oh and by the way, I had to go back for the dry erase markers. lmfao!
yep, those are the important things. he is at target. he is bonding with his children. they are spending time with daddy, who they love and miss. those are the important things. now I just have to hope he doesn't come home with bags of halloween candy to boot. lol. and oh my god, I so understand having to go back for the dry erase markers. lol.
I loved halloween as a kid, too. still do. love getting spooked. never liked the blood and gore movies, but love love love ghost stories and things that go bump in the night. (unless that thing is 3 year old getting up to play because they aren't tired even though its freaking 2 in the morning).

Now I feel pretty gulity. I already picked out the theme and the costumes without H. I got D6 the Forest Fairy at Target. You are right to let them have some good memories with Dad. I have very few after our Dad moved out. Even a casual day watchig the game will make evryone happy. Dress really relaxed and that will make you relax. I am serious. I used to try to be hecka cute each time I saw my H. Why? It made me feel so fake. So then I just started wearing flip flops each time I saw him. It made me feel like a regular person again. Funny, huh?
Oh yeah, but he is living with some nameless street person he met in a bar so I guess I would have had to make those decisions anyways.
Sorry, feeling a bitter phone call coming on! MORGAN, make me stop. You were the first person I thought of who can stop me from picking up that phone and chewing this guy's a@@ out!

No calls!! I am no morgan (wish I were, she is damn strong), but no phone calls. Remember the garage phone call last week, I think? I know you are hurt and H shows no remorse, but don't do it. Write him a letter on here.
Whew, close call. So I guess that means I can't write the OW an email that says no one who loves this man or has known him for the past 20 years will have anything to do with her? I know the answer....
Sorry for the hijack, but Morgan is so darn positive!
