Go ahead and throw your hands in the air and 4x8 me now. I deserve it. So much for hardcore DBing today.

Kevin: How did the kids go?
W: fine
Kevin: Good
W: off to lunch now
Kevin: K
Kevin: D7 had things on her mind last night
W: like?
Kevin: She told me that she told you that I am lonely when they are not there and you told her that I stay plenty busy during the week
Kevin: Not sure where she got that from as I have never said that
Kevin: Then she asked me if I miss you
Kevin: I said yes I do
W: ok. good to know.
Kevin: Then she was quiet and went to sleep
W: alright
Kevin: Just thought it was interesting
W: yes. she worries about you and grandpa being lonely.
Kevin: She has a huge heart
W: yes she does
W: so i have something to do this afternoon. will you be ok with pulling into the alley at mom's beside the front door and just calling sember to have them come out? not going to the front door?
W: i've still got to clear it with mom
Kevin: I'm not the one with the issue. I will pick them up where ever
W: alright. i'll ask mom. it would help me out not to have to go home
Kevin: Ok. Going to happy hour?
W: nope. friend teaching me to shoot a rifle.
Kevin: Wow. That's cool
Kevin: I hope you enjoy
W: yeah. i'm pretty excited. but he has someplace he needs to be with his pals at 6 or 7. so we have to do it early
Kevin: Very cool
Kevin: Is your mom ever going to get past this. I mean this is to the point of ridiculousness
Kevin: It is what it is
Kevin: Is your day going well?
W: just give it time. believe me. i find it just as ridiculous. if not more so. its been a complete pain in my rear.
W: day is going fine. thanks
W: mom doesn't want you coming over. you have really screwed me over with the crap you've pulled with her. every freaking day this week i've had to cancel plans to do this. leave work early. everything.
W: i'm trying to see if she'll bring the kids to the house. lock them in at 4:45. and you get them by 5
W: if you see her car in the driveway. don't pull up until after she leaves.
W: yes she is being unreasonable. but you know what... you pulled some crap. and now i'm dealing with the consequences.
Kevin: I wish she would grow up.
W: i wish you would have been a little more mindful of screwing things up with her while i was gone
Kevin: I wish I would have to. I wish she would let me apologize to her. Geez. This is being taken to new levels with her.
Kevin: I'm sorry, but I don't believe anything I did warrants this especially when I am willing to apologize and make sure it never happens again
W: yeah, well i dont give a crap about how either of you feel. i'm just tired of being caught in the middle.
W: its not just this... it was this after the culmination of MANY things you have done, Kevin.
Kevin: I agree. If she would let me talk to her I would make amends
W: i've got a meeting. i'll let you know what arrangements I've made
W: she doesn't care.
W: you have never been good about giving people their space and letting them calm down on their time, not yours.
W: you need to work on that
Kevin: I am giving her space. I have respected everything she has asked
W: yesterday, you should have stayed in the backyard while she dropped off the kids. i got an earful. and then hung up on
Kevin: No. There is no reason for her to act that way and I am an adult coming out to see my kids. I am not going to hide away like a child who is being punished by an unruley lady.
W: well thanks. i appreciate your consideration of the fact that i'm stuck between you two juveniles.
Kevin: First. I am not a juve. But cmon. You seriously expect me to hide away from your mom when it comes to my kids?
W: for 2 freaking mins you couldn't just give her space?
W: seriously?
Kevin: I didn't realize yesterday was an issue
W: yes, i know
Kevin: But if it will make you happy, then I will be more than happy to accomodate. Although I am becoming tired of being excluded from everyone else and family events because of her.
Kevin: I don't do that to her or anyone else
W: yes, kevin, i know
W: can you look for the technisource insurance packet for me this weekend?
W: i'll meet you at my house no later than 5.
W: mom won't drop them off.
W: right now... i truly dislike you both
W: i didn't get to enjoy myself tues night. i had to deal with you and mom yesterday. and now today i have to cancel my plans
Kevin: I'm not making you cancel your plans. I didn't set up this situation and I am willing to work with whatever arrangements you want. So there is no reason to be mad at me. The problem lies with your mom, not me
W: ummm you created the problem. and tues night was you.
Kevin: I made a small mistake like everyone else in the family has and your mom has blown it up to epic proportions
W: i'm trying to work. see you at 5
Kevin: I'm willing to work with whatever arrangements you want so you don't have to miss your plans
W: there's nothing to be done. see you at the house at 5
Kevin: Well... Do you want to go to dinner with me and the kids then?
W: no thank you
Kevin: Ok
Kevin: Look. I'm not trying to cause anything with your mom. I'm trying to stay out of her way. I didn't think tuesday. I apologize for that. Believe me. I don't want issues between you and me and anyone else. So whatever I can do to aleviate that, I will
W: i'm good. just let me calm down. see you at 5

Then later I asked her if she wanted to have a meal at my place or hers with the kids this weekend.

Yup, I totally blew every form of DBing today. Someone shoot me now.
