Suga, she may not like it, but somehow I think she'll deal with it.

Had a short convo with her last night, on the way to take the girls to my parents house to stay the night. Knowing she was going to call me at some point, I turned the ringer off. We were on our way to drop S14's bags at his grandfathers house, where he was staying already.

While pulling up to the house, she called, but D11 saw my phone light up, dang it. She answered it and spoke to her for a minute, then she is shoving the phone at me.

"What!"
"Here! She wants to talk to you."
"Hold on!" \:\) I was talking to S14 about his day, who had come out to the car to meet us.

She asks me if I could let her know what I've gotten the kids, so that she doesn't get the same things. I tell her that I'm going shopping after I drop the kids off. She says she is going to go shopping tomorrow morning.

"And have you thought about how you want to do Christmas?" she asked.
"Yeah. I want to have them Christmas Eve."
A short silence.
"Ok."

She then asks about D7, and I just tell her to hold on and I give the phone to D7.

They start to talk and D7 is acting sad. In the meantime, we say our goodbyes to S14 and head out. I can hear the wife asking D7, "What's wrong? What's the matter?". D7 tells her that she wants to go with me and not stay at grandmas.

It's her usual routine. She hates when we separate, but after I leave, she's fine. I hear the wife telling that she can pick her up if she wants tomorrow.

Of course, this starts D7 to wanting to ask me is she can go to the apartment. The wife had told her that she is off tomorrow. I can hear her telling the wife that she is going to ask me.

She does ask me and I say to her, "Let me talk to your mother!"

"What's going on?" I ask.
"How come D7 doesn't want to stay with your mom?" all concerned.
"She ALWAYS does this. She would rather go with me. You know she does this all the time."
"Oh, well I was telling her that I could pick her up after I do my things tomorrow."
"I'll be off by then, so no need."

She is quiet again, and then starts to tell me about some parties that D7 is invited to on Saturday.
"Well, she keeps mentioning them, but no one tells me about when, where, and who."

She starts to tell me about them and I let her know that I'll take her to the early one. She says that she has her branch party Saturday night, implying that she can't take her to the later one.

Like I was wanting her too?

I let her know that I also have my branch party on Saturday, but I'm taking the girls, and that the District had it's party last weekend.

Not sure why I mentioned it. Just came out.

"Well....D7 just has to stay there." she says finally.
"Yes. She does."

She tells me that she is almost at the apartment and that when she gets there, she'll call me to verify what time the party is. I say ok, and tell her bye.

She pauses and says goodbye.

I left off the kids, went to have dinner at a clients Mexican Restaurant, and didn't have to pay.

Sweet! Even had a Margarita. After, went to a bar that an old friend bartends at for years. Had a couple drinks there and then head to Wallymart.

Christmas shopping with a buzz. Got almost everything I needed at 12:00 midnight. Just need a couple DS games for D7 then done.

Never heard from the wife. She must have gotten 'preoccupied'.

Gonna get off work now and get my girlies and have a busy day of shopping for a Bday gift, a kids bday party and then my party later tonight.

I'm already tired.
