PH, I like that. Thank You.

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.
