PH, MMF, Thanks. I had the kids until 4pm on Fathers day and then I took them to their Ws. We had a good day though.
I haven't been around much. I've been very detached lately and I've been busy too so my head has been in other places than dealing with this.
There really isn't anything new. I went to swimming lessons with W last night and then drove her and the kids back to her place. She had her hair cut off yesterday. I told her I liked it but really I prefer it to be long. Tomorrow D5 has a school function and W asked me if I would pick her (W) up and take her to the function and then drop her off after. I agreed.
I have come to the conclusion that nothing will progress in this until OW is out of the picture. I believe that this will happen at some point but considering that they bought a house together, I don't know when that will be.

This Hedge of Thorns prayer might interest you. Here's the link.
Been gone for a couple of weeks. Nothing really new is happening. Just more of the same. However, I was feeling that life was washing over me this afternoon and I thought I would stop by and read some. This is a great place and it is strangely inspiring to see how many are going through exactly the same things I am going through.
W got her DL back last week. She is very excited. W actually came to pick up the kids for the first time today. She saw our dog for the first time in almost a year too.
She only have the kids for a week this time becuase she got voluntold that she has to go away next Sunday for a week. She originally asked me if I would take the kids and then said that if I couldn't, OW could watch them. I immediately said I would watch them. I'd like to think she was joking about the OW watching them but I know she wasn't.
W gets her house 1 day before I get mine. However, I have the kids for the 2 weeks before and the week after I take possession. I had thought it would be good if we could share the kids a little during the moves. I suggested that I would have the kids for the for the Thur, Fri, Sat while she moves and it It would help me if could take them from the Sat evening to Mon afternoon so that I could get settled. Not to mention, I'm sure the kids would like to see her new house and she wouldn't have seen the kids in 2 weeks at that point because I have them for 3 weeks in a row.
Her reply was, "I don't know, I hadn't planned on that. I have cleaning and painting I want to do" As I have said before, Amicable is amicable and fair is fair as long as it is what the MLCer wants. Still I wouldn't be surprised if we end up doing that.
It occurs to me that in the last 18 months I have asked her to take the kids to help me out maybe 3 times. She has an excuse everytime why she can't do it. However, she tries the change the schedule at least once a month and I almost always agree. MLCers are odd people.

You have to keep in mind that my W is 37 and an executive of an international insurance company.
W and I were talking the other day and when she tells me that she was at a music store earlier in the day and that the guy behind the counter was covered in tatoos and that he had cut his ears in a way that they had points. She then tells me that it looked "cool" and that it "suited him"
It was all I could do to keep a straight face. This is not my wife.

Hmmm, it is amazing how they can change and not even know it... I am glad to see you have a sense of humor about this stuff. Hang in there, my friend.
