Snodderly, I wish I could set my phone to ring a different ring for him but since he canceled my caller ID I can't do it anymore.
So he called. I said "hold on" really quickly and tried to get the boys to talk to him, neither one did.
I got back on the phone and said "sorry, they don't want to talk."
JA: Wait! Am I coming tomorrow or Thursday to see the boys?
Me: I don't know, why don't you tell me.
JA: Well I have no problem coming Thursday but I just want to point out you didn't let me have them on birthday last year because you planned a Halloween party on my birthday.
Me: No I did not. I checked my records. Your birthday was on a Monday last year and you wanted them the whole weekend. It was originally my weekend so I scheduled a Halloween party for them and then you wanted to take them saying it was your "birthday weekend." I was not going to cancel the party for them. I let you have them after the party.
I think I caught him off guard with all that.
JA: Well then it must of been the year before then that you wouldn't let me have them on my birthday.
Me: Well I don't know about that. It was 2 years ago. I don't hold grudges from something that happened that long ago.
JA: Well I am just sayin' that we need to work together on this.
Me: I am aware of that however your usually the one who won't be cooperative.
JA: Well you never want to switch days.
Me: that's not true. As a matter of fact I just switched with you a few weeks ago when we had court on a Wednesday and you asked me if you could come up on a Thursday instead so you didn't have to travel back this way 2 times in one day.
I shut him up.
Then he started up again and started spewing.
Me: Listen, I got to go. I don't have time to fight with you. I appreciate you coming on Thursday instead of tomorrow. Thank you very much, now have a g'nite.
He was still yelling and I hung the phone up.
I know I probably did a lot of defending of myself and more explaining than I needed to do, but at this point, 2 years down the road of this crap, I just don't care anymore.
