<journaling> I've had one helluva day today. I was busier than the proverbial one-legged man...
Last night, xW had dropped the bombshell that she was going out of town to Florida Monday and Tuesday, so she wouldn't be available to take care of S4 while S8 and I go to his cub scout meeting. Something about training for her new job. Whatever. Yeah, I realize this likely means she and OM are going together out of state, business or not. She's no longer my concern in that regard, as long as my S's are not affected. So S4 and I will make do.
And then xW left a voicemail at work today, at about a quarter past 4 PM. She said her mother -- the evil MIL -- was going out of town this weekend and would not be back on Monday herself. xW said this meant that I was on my own for providing S4 daycare for that day, which is a work day for me.xW suggested I see if the local hourly daycare place would have an opening -- an expensive proposition. I have been so p-o'ed over this, because:
(1) Why such freaking short notice? (2) xW chose her ne're-do-well mother to pretend to be a daycare solution for S4, but apparently her availability and reliability is being proven deficient. (3) How long has she known about these changes in plans?
So not only am I left high and dry for cub scouts on Monday, but it looks like for the entire day.
My boss was somewhat understanding, and even a little angry on my behalf for xW's last minute curve ball, but I will have to take some PTO time to work from home.
... and as if to add insult to injury, I got word today from my atty that xW's complaint was filed yesterday and my L's office was delivered a copy. xW is now officially suing me for temporary and full custody, with the intent of granting me only "visitation" every other weekend. The first hearing is August 14.
