I just think it is hilarious that ex always said, none of this is mine(his reason for not "cleaning"). granted four kids create a lot of paper clutter and clothes clutter and messes but come on, ALL of this stuff was our stuff...since the kids are ours.
Anyway while on the hunt for my misplaced Soc. Security card, it felt as if I was a detective. I had in my minds eye where it was but that wallet had gotten knocked behind this massively heavy thing ex's Dad made. Anyway, I finally get it and no, not there. I go through all my purse scenarios and am running from room to room and lo and behold it was in my carry all bag I used to use while I worked at AAA. Sorry, now you all think I am crazy but so glad that mystery was solved.
It also made me realize how crazy parts of my house are. I can't keep having things as status quo. Last night when ex brought the 3 youngest home, he keeps lingering. Why? Go home already. Turns out D8 said she wanted to stay. He was already half an hour late bringing them home and past their get ready for bed time. So now Ex thinks we should discuss them staying on Tuesday nights. Ok one saying she wants to stay does not mean that they all want to stay. I would think about it during the summer but not on school nights. He still wants everything his way and yet thinks I am controlling stuff.
I am not using my kids in this game he is setting up. He said to me, you just aren't doing this because you don't want to be nice. I said actually this is what you set up and you got that so let's try to stop the changing it stuff. So I guess he isn't happy with how he set it up but he fails to see that S13 doesn't want to go, he makes him and d10 is torn. His eyes are so clouded and he is still trying to grow that stubble into a beard!
Ok that was mean. He still tries to get me and on occasion succeeds.
