Ummmm...Dylan....the psych can't really help you get her out of your head. You have to do that all for yourself. They might be able to give you some exercises to do and guidance, but you know it's all up to you.

Yeah, but I'm jsut not doing a very good job of it. Everytime I thought I had ended up in a crash and burn. So atleast for the time being, it's easier to KNOW I haven't and spare myself the self lecturing of saying I had.

Anywho................

Did some running around with my cousin yesterday afternoon. No sooner that we got settled in, my phone rings, it's XW's number, S12. Apparently XW had sent pictures of the boys Halloween costumes, but my lovely AT&T service hadn't gotten them yet, so I had no clue what they were talking about. Then, S11 got on the phone. Apparently he knew he was 'sick' Friday morning and didn't want to go to school so that he wouldn't get anyone else sick. He's learned from me working in a medical center that with things going around the way they are, if you truly feel sick, STAY HOME. Well, XW made him go to school, and no sonner than his first class he was sent to the nurse's office. They contacted XW to get him out of the school, but all the while he wanted me to come get him and take him to the doctor, XW denied it. Xw didn't take him anywhere until YESTERDAY. Nice.

So, S11 then asked if I had gotten the pictures yet, I said no. Then he asked if I had really sent the picture I did to XW on Saturday. I said yeah, why is she mad? He just let out a sigh I didn't understand. I just reminded ihm that it was the day we gotten married is all.

All the while, XW made her presence known in the background talking all 'sweet and candid' to the boys, reminding them to tell me this or that. much to my surprise, she finaly did get on the phone herself and go over S11's illness saying it was 'strep', I said he sounded nasily and with eye's itching, doesn't sound like strep to me, but she shrugged it off. Never mentioned the picture and since my phone was about to die we ended it pretty abrupt.

As soon as plugged my phone in, the pictures came through, S11 the goof he his, just got this mask witht the eyes popping out and tongue hanging out with a hat that says "girl watcher", huh? XW added a caption tot he picture "So ur kid!". Not sure how to take that. She then texted if I got the pics and I said yes, just came through and thanks. That was the end of that.

Oh, she apparently took the boys for their eye exams finally as well. S11 is upset because the doc said he has a "65% chance of getting 'lazy eye' in his left eye". I told him not to worry, it's probably just a stigmatism like I have, in oh boy, the same eye, wouldn't you know, his perscription is identical to mine. I'm also thinking his 'strep' is allergies much like I had at his age, but we'll see if XW can figure that out. Oh, and of course he was complaining becaseu XW told him if she catches him without his glasses on at anytime he's grounded. If he ahs the same problem, he doesn't need to wear them all the time, ugh.

Wonder when she plans on springing whatever amount "I owe her" for all this. Ummm, I never agreed to it as I was not consulted, so...........
