Karen, I've read you comments over and over and over, and I've been thinking, it appears we are both (me and W) trying to rationalize why its best for her not to be with the kids as much as possible, me saying its easier on the kids and her (see her email) about how I'm a great parent and better at taking care of the kids, etc. - either way the kids lose - they don't get to see their mom as much or if they do they get shuffled back and forth - welcome to the world of divorce - I hate it
The Pride of St. Louis is a band called Mama's Pride
MAMA'S PRIDE "SHE'S A STRANGER TO ME NOW"
SKY'S BLUE, WATER'S TOO, SO AM I TODAY. I PACKED MY LADY'S BAGS FOR HER AND SENT HER ON HER WAY SHE TURNED AND LOOKED SO STRANGELY AS SHE HEADED DOWN THE WALK WONDERIN' WHY MY FACE WAS BLANK AND WHY I COULDN'T TALK
SHE'S A SELFISH LADY, WHO'S THOUGHTLESS WAYS I COULD NOT ALLOW. SHE WAS MY FRIEND, MY WIFE, AND LOVER BUT SHE'S A STRANGER TO ME NOW
THE EARLY DAYS WERE LIKE A MAZE OF FANTASY AND THRILL. SHE PLAYED HER LITTLE GAME WITH ME AND TRIED TO BREAK MY WILL. I'M NOT A SCHOLAR, NOT A GENIUS, NEVER HAD MUCH SCHOOL . BUT I AIN'T CRAZY AND I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN MADE A FOOL.
NOW SHE'S GONE AND I'M ALONE, FEELIN' RATHER POOR SHE'S RELIEVED CAUSE SHE'S NOT IN MY SHADOW ANYMORE. ' THINK I'LL DRINK SOME WHISKEY MAYBE LET MYSELF UNWIND AND FEEL PITY FOR THE LADY CAUSE SHE'S NOT IN HER RIGHT MIND.
