I pitty stbx, he is really unable to enjoy the little things in life that after is said and done are what really matters: my little d5 telling me yesterday as I picked her up from sitter "I love u momma, thanks for picking me up" It is my sweet s9, nope, s10 bday today, I can't believe it! he's 2 inches short of being my same height, such a tall boy, he came to my bed before walking the dog, and I prayed for him, it made me cry, I asked that God always protect him and that he never strays from his path, he has a heart of gold that boy.
Coincidentally it is stbx's b day too, I was debating whether to send him a one-line txt saying "happy bday" then again, I learned from MIL yesterday that he was having second thoughts about buying a place on my area because...get this: I might drive around his place and leave notes ...BUAHAAAHAA!!!! phlu--ease! even MIL told him "why she'd do such a thing? she doesn't want you!" (lol! can't believe she said that) I think I'll settle for calling and having the kids wish him a happy bday, but I bet he'll let it go to vm when he sees it is me calling, whatever. I will always encourage the kids to wish him a happy bday and happy father's day even though he didn't call me nor had the kids give me nothing for mothers day. I had the kids pick a funny bday card, both of them will sign it.
Sadly enough he won't talk to his mom, she made the mistake of calling one night during work hrs constantly to tell him about a good deal on a house, he had left his cell at ow's (later he told me he left it at his appt) and apparently it woke her up the entire time. He was furious, he got nasty with his mom on the phone, they both said each of them wanted an apology from one another (I'm betting MIL is telling the truth on this one). Because of this, he told MIL NOT to call him on his bday, can you believe that?? she told me she was hurt beyond words, she wanted to take him out for his bday and give him his gift, but he wont' talk to her. She is absolutely sure ow is trying to alienate him from her and his sister (he wont' pick up her calls either, she just wants to give him his bday present)
That just blew me away, I know MIL has issues and used the water works on him lots (she can barely walk due to a bad lung disease, is widowed and has no other family around, and also has emotional issues) but to tell her not to call? that is just cruel cruel cruel.
Ok, will shut up now. Leaving early today to take s10 out and tomorrow will go to a carnival after church for the rest of the day, it should be fun God is good.
