Hello, dear friends. TD, please DO let us know how you are doing! It's so nice to have a blast from the past! Two in one week--WOW!

One additional note about dtr's birthday. As you kow I cancelled the family birthday dinner on Sunday and took D17 shopping instead. Then on Monday my ex asked me if WE were going to take her out on her actual birthday. I replied that since I'd see her for breakfast he could take her out for dinner. It said he thought both of us should take her out. I told him I understood that he wanted to include gf so again, he could take her out for dinner. He actually got mad at me saying I wasn't listening. Apparently it's ok for the 3 of us to go, but he wanted to include gf if other family members were included. What is that all about???

It really doesn't matter now. I'm out of the party planning business for his side of the family!
