The boys seem to be doing well -- even by xW's own admission (I don't think she realizes how that actually weakens her own case against me.)
Easter was good but quiet; I didn't have custody of the boys Easter weekend, but I saw them briefly at church. I can be thankful that xW is making an effort to get our S's to church at least when she has them.
I did have an interesting movie night last Friday with other stragglers from our bible study group. I say "stragglers" because the others from our group not present had families and other holiday plans to attend to, leaving us to fend for ourselves. In the end it was just me and two of the young ladies from our group watching the DVD of Slumdog Millionaire together. Strange movie, BTW. As usual we had a good time with a lot of good conversation too.
Otherwise it was, as I said, quiet.
I keep sparring with xW, however. She keeps at it occasionally, and I think this is just the way she's going to be. Once I think things have quieted down, she is going to again start something up. The other day I called her on a very blatantly petty criticism she had leveled at me, basically accusing me of horning in one her time with our S's. I hope she's gotten the sincerity of my reply to her and the message that she is going too far, finally. But I won't hold my breath.
It's funny you mentioned camping, Lwb. I have been trying to get the paperwork and other requirements in order for (a) S8 to participate in Cub Scout outdoor acivities, such as the Boy Scout Day Camp being held this summer as well as the monthly camping trips with our pack, and (b) for me to be able to participate with him where necessary/possible. In both cases we have to have our medical records in order (don't you just love our legal torte system?) And I have been trying to make sure both our physicals and our immunizations are up to date. This is going to be an annual effort now, it would seem. Unfortunately, while S8 is all caught up on all his shots, I am in arrears. It turns out the physical I took last Fall was not complete and did not cover everything. On top of that most of my vaccinations are out of date. (I can't believe it's been over nine years since I went out of country, to Brazil, which was when I last made sure I was caught up.) The most critical booster I needed, according to the Scouts, is the Tetanus vaccination, so along with a full physical they gave me the booster for Tetanus.
I have a funny (sort of) story about my visit to my doctor's today. My physician's clinic is very active in helping orient new interns, and I don't usually mind him allowing one of these interns to take the lead in any examination. I almost always see his chief PA anyway and he always seems to have an intern in tow.
Today they asked me if it would be okay for the intern to perform the exam entirely, to which I agreed. However, there turned out to be a couple of problems with this, as it turned out. First, the intern was a fairly attractive young female doctor, which is not so bad even if she's going to be poking and prodding you as they do in a normal visit. However in this case this was a full physical, including checking my prostate -- I won't say anymore, just leave it to you to figure out how discomforting it was.
Let's just say, not even my xW was ever that intimate with me!
I'm chuckling about it now. And I can tell my family that I am meeting new ladies all the time... har, har...
On the other hand, I think my xW's lawyer might be very interested in getting me into just such a compromising position as I was in today, if not worse.
