Yesterday:

Received a text. Ur picking up the kids at moms.

I wait almost a half an hour and respond back. As you wish

I go and get the kids at five, and I hang out for a little while. Kids were playing with their cousin. I get small talk from MIL and FIL. They act like nothing is wrong.

Daughter says she wants to stay over grandparents. Son wants to come with me. I don't bother asking. MIL has a big smile on her face. I said (daughter name) you are not helping me out. She asks why? I said why do you think why? She says because you want to spend time with me.

I said I'm very impressed you are able to answer the question. I tell her she can stay with her grandmother. I was thinking should I call my wife and confirm this. Was this part of wife's plan? I don't bother.

I tell daughter, call me before you go to bed. Kiss her and tell her I love her. I also told FIL the day before to have them call me.

When I get home the letters had come from the school. I open them and find out who the teachers will be. I call the wife immediately and tell her. She is preplexed that son didn't get the teacher she thought he would. She already knew daughter was getting a certain teacher because the teacher told her. It would have been nice if she would have communicated this with me.
She asked if I picked up the kids. I told her daughter stayed down her moms. She asked why? I said she wanted to stay and I thought you told her she could. She asks if son wants picked up after work, and I said yes. I then just ended the conversation with Ok, I'll talk to you later.

Son and I play video games. First I take a nap. Then I get up and said sorry son, I'm just so tired. I will make it up to you.
How about I make you dumplins. He loves dumplins.
During the dumplin making I help him with some part of the game he was having trouble with.

Then we play Sid Meirs Pirates.

She comes and picks him up after work. She is on the phone talking to daughter. She was in a hurry and all she said to me was good bye. Daughter is explaing that she went for a long bike ride with her grand father. My wife says I'm going to kill my dad for letting her ride where they rode too.

I said tell daughter thanks for calling me. She said daughter said opps. Then wife says, that's why I always call down there.

I'm thinking, so you are mother of the year.

I went in the house. I tried to cry, but it wouldn't come out.

Things are clam.
