I sent a e-mail to W, first time in several months, I told her I had a nice time and I understood that she is busy and cannot take the kids all the time, Told her I'm looking forward to her Christmas-Eve dinner, I was nice and polite, here is her response only comment when she says "one of was always there" it was usually me.
I know I have been overwhelmed and I feel like I have been letting you take the brunt of the responsibility for the kids. You know I love them more than anything in the world and would do anything for them. I want to spend more time with them and I know you know it is hard to spread yourself around. I know it was easier when we were in the same house. It didn't seem so difficult, one of us was always there. Now it seems we are always trying to schedule something. I appreciate everything you do, I really do. I had a good time yesterday too. As Always INSERT NAME
W has the kids today - 6 hours, she has a party tonight and will bring the kids back before dinner.
