My W Convinced, D Is The Answer!

[Little Engine]

Thanks to everyone for chiming in. My thread here will probably lock, and I think Surviving is my next stop. So look for me over there with Mike and Arthur and Gabbysmom23.

Met W last night to get S and D. She asks if I would take the power cord back to the Dr. office again and says "I will pay you." Made me furious. Now I am a delivery service. We were at a gas station that uses a loyalty card for discount. D runs over to where I am pumping and says "Mommy needs to use your card!" I told D, that Mommy should use her telephone number, because Daddy needed his card. I was being really petty, but I'm not interested in providing anything for W. W then tells me that the kids want to go costume shopping and that she is putting that on me. How is it that I get four days out of twenty-eight with our kids, and she feels that she can dictate what we are going to do in our time together. I plan to let her know that my weekends are my weekends and I don't need her help in planning them out. W then tells me, getting them ready is really a pain, can you buy some underwear for them to keep with you, so that is one less thing I have to pack? Then she tries to give me $30. I just told her,"I don't need the money, I am their father not the baby-sitter. It is my job to provide for them." I added, "You've said some really insulting and hurtful things to me in the last two weeks and I don't appreciate it." She asked what she had said so she could avoid it in the future and I just told her "It doesn't really matter, when I wanted a second chance you didn't give it to me, so I don't feel obligated to say anymore to you." I got in the truck and left. Hopefully the D papers are at my atty this week so I can look them over and figure out the next step. I have my parents of D'd children class the first week in November. Court said it is best to take it together, but I am going alone. W can go to hers by herself.

Kids are great. We took a drive and went on a little day trip. Different town, different park, different restaurants. They are having a blast. Glad to be doing something different. I figure my time with them can be like a vacation. Always something different everytime I see them. When they are here I don't miss W. So it is like my friend at work said, you miss your family, you don't miss your W.

W also looked really frumpy, like all of this is causing her to gain weight. I've been losing weight, but still have a long way to go.

Hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend!
