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.
