Thanks Barbiedoll,

My D would love your name. Her favorite two things are Brats and Barbies. I think she has close to 100, they're all at my apt. The only regret she had yesterday about going to W's was that she would not get to go to flea mkt. with me today to look for more. Any question as to where she considers home? It's sad in a way, but touches my heart at the same time.

Just left W a message suggesting a compromise to our now screwed up child care schedule. I offered to split the week with her, me taking them the last half of week, her the first as I have things I must do immediately and she works late the last days of the week. She has seemed diferent of late possibly moving out of anger her response will be interesting. Just to be safe, I think I'll put on my helment and move to the fallout shelter to await her response.

That's the part I really hate about this. It's like being in a car accident. I can see it coming, like it's in slow motion, but I can do nothing to stop it. It's that feeling of helplessness, total loss of control.

I have never been a control freak, but I hate no win situations. Of course this seems like the ultimate no win situation for all of us; our spouses, our children. Maybe I need to change the way I look at this.

"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
