Latest on me:

I left a message for the woman who has my socks yesterday, but haven't heard from her yet. We spoke on Sunday and she said I could call her on Monday, but it was hectic and I was unsure of being too eager, so I waited until yesterday. I think from here I'll wait to hear from her and contact her next week if we don't talk this weekend (or get the hint and move on).

On the XW front, since she and D share the same birthday and Disney is giving free admission on your birthday this year, XW and her mother are taking D to Disneyland (w/out new BF). I heard it from D Monday night and got an e-mail from XW yesterday which talked about the trip.

I replied supporting the trip and telling her I was glad they were going but was a bit jealous that I wouldn't be there to share in D's joy and excitement. I also asked XW if D would be missing any school for the trip since their birthday was on a Sunday this year. The e-mail also talked about a casual party for D's birthday and asked my opinions on dates, etc.

XW just sent an e-mail telling me she was thinking of having D miss school on Monday and she agreed w/the birthday party date I suggested. She also asked to switch a day w/me in April.

I replied on the party, told XW I'd think about the switch, and wrote the following concerning the Disney trip:
Quote:
I'm so happy you can take her to Disneyland especially since your birthdays are free admission all year long. I don't mind her missing Monday, but this does seem like it was pre-planned for her to miss w/out letting me know first, so I would ask in the future to consult w/me prior to making plans if it involves her missing school or anything else that is part of our legal custody.

Again, I just wanted her to understand this MUST be done w/my approval rather than done and then notifying me of her plans.

Not sure what response I'll get, but I'll definitely keep reminding her of her legal responsibilities concerning D and I want her to also remember that she alone can't call the shots for our daughter.

Otherwise, things are pretty normal here. Not much else to report except I'm really looking forward to getting the school year over and done with. I'm ready for summer after this year!
