I didn't leave a VM. I just hung up. That was probably the smartest thing I've done all week!! He is supposed to go to the house tonight to pick up some clothes and a dryer. He said he didn't want the kids to see that, so I'm at my parents' house. He is supposed to call when he is done to let me know it is OK to go home. I told my dad that when he calls I don't want to talk to him. Just tell him I'm in the bathroom and take a message. Dad said that sounded like a good idea.
