UPDATE .....I've been away for a few days mostly because I needed a break and also I've had nothing much to say. W has been miserable all week. I've barely talked to her and when I did, she was miserable, short and quick to see me out the door.
We had snow storms on 2 days this week and the kids were late the first day and didn't go to school at all on the second (Ws week with the kids). On the first day I got a call from the school asking where the kids were. They had called W at all her numbers and could not get anyone. W hadn't bothered to call the school and tell them the kids would be late. This is not at all like W. I called W too and she didn't answer so I sent her an email saying that the school had called and asking what was going on. She never did reply and I found out the kids made it to school when I called to see what the school had heard. The next day W had S8 call me and tell me that they weren't going to school that day. I'm wondering why they were as late as they were. I drove twice as far in the snow storm in 1/4 of the time that it would have taken OW to drive to drop off the kids. I'm thinking there was some other reason. Perhaps she didn't want to drive them. This would account for them not going the next day too.
I found out last night that W has pnuemonia too and that is making her misserable also but I think there is something else going on. W is still insisting that we switch the kids every 2 weeks and I hadn't been able to figure out why. Esspecially when the kids hate the idea and it was their idea in the first place. However, when I picked the kids up earlier today S8 told me that W wants every 2 weeks because OW doesn't like moving her cats to Ws house every week. So it seems W has chosen OWs cats over the needs of her own children. NICE!
All of this is telling me that W and OWs R is faltering. I have no idea to what extent but all does not seem to be well in paradise. This is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
