My wife called last night from the cruise ship at around 5pm. The kids and I were not home yet and she didn't leave a message. I fixed dinner and opened up the windows of the house. It was 70 degrees yesterday.
She called again at about 5:30. She spoke to both of the kids for about 30 seconds each.
I got back on the phone and she asked how they were doing and if they were having "mommy withdrawals." I didn't want to hurt her feelings but they haven't really said much about her. I simply said they are doing great.
She then begain to complain about the water being rough and said she had been sea sick twice. I said oh man thats not good. The next thing she said was just classic. Her exact words were. " It hasn't been anywhere near as fun as when we went last year, oh well what do you do. " I bit my tongue...all I said was a sympathetic oh.
She then asked me if she could have the kids on Monday when she got back for a few hours while I was working. She said "I'll make sure I drop them off at your house by 5pm. when you get off work. She also said in a sweet voice you know you could be nice and let me have them on Tuesday because I'll only get to see them for a couple of days then your going to have them again for 5 days. Pleeeaaase? I told her I would talk to her about that later.
I said, well... ok I better go my dinner is getting cold. She said oh I'm sorry. I said no big deal I'll talk to you on Friday. See ya later.
