LOL, Oh my, what did I say last week that I shall no longer give any indepth thought to the 10:17, 10/17 concept now forward, and my last post WAS at........10:17, I love to test myself I guess.

Nice quiet, yet expensive weekend with the boys. I'm really dreading balancing my account later, but, hey, they had fun. We went to dinner Friday night as normal and then went home and watched a couple of movies. Saturday, bummed around, did some shopping, made some awsome steaks and greenbean cassarole. Then opted at last momoent to go to cosmic bowling. They had fun, i'm paying the price, financially and physically, now I know why the Dr. hasn't cleared my yet for that kind of stuff. Yesterday, watched the race on TV and just vegged. The took them out to dinner again before returning them 'home'.

Then there's the X front........

Friday night, as time drew closer, I figured she wouldn't be dropping them off as requested. So, I started heading over to get them, and low and behold S12 is blowing up my phone. When I finally got a second I texted back: "Mom was supposed to drop you off, I'm on my way". Got a few more calls, one from XW procaliming she knew nothing about dropping them off.

When I got there, I was fine. XW came out and started re-iteratting she didn't know, I said we talked about it last time that I'd like you start dropping them off. Xw then said, "Well, we were supposed to talk about it and you never called me this week". As I was about to state, the phone goees 2 ways, her neighbor from across the street (has a few screws loose) intrudes, and begins a 5 minute tangent about the crappy weather and where I had parked my truck, that we were standing right behind, lights still on, but she made it point to say I was blocking the hydrant.

Long story short, the boys were getting aggitated and wanted to leave, so did I as OOM kept peering out the windows at us. Then I noticed they already wrecked the car and 'our' Trans Am that has been slowly rotting away had quite an extensive ticket collection. Then, Xw's neighbor says, "Oh, I better you all go, I'm holding you up" and then XW delivered the kicker, with no remorse no thought what so ever right in front of the boys "Oh, now, we're divorced, the boys are jsut going iwth their father for the weekend". Yeah, I know it's the truth and all, but to just candidly blurt it out like that with no thought, how does she do it?

So at that point I had enough, held "her" check up in the air at her and the boys and loaded up in the truck. As soon as I'm ready to pull out, she's tapping at my glass which I roll down "Dylan, please save me from her" and if I'm not mistakened slipped the "honey" word at the end, maybe I heard wrong. Of course at this point I was stung a bit and tired of losing the little time I get with the boys and became a bit cold. Which insued her "Why are you always mad at me?". I kept it simple with a I'm not mad at you, I've had my fill and want to go. Xw just repeatedly said have a nice weekend to us.

I felt bad and texted her "aorry about last night" on Saturday, no reply. S11 tried calling her numerous times on her cell and land line in loserville, no reply.

Yesterday morning a new problem developed. I received a 3rd party investigation claim on S12's behalf for his "accident" when he cut his knee open in OM's car trunk. So, the state is not far behind.

At dinner, XW sent a cutsy message wanting to know what time I was bringing the "monsters" back. Of course she herself was back 5 minutes after the indicated time I gave her. I had no choice but to park in front of the house and htus OM pulled OUR car up right behind me.

They took forever getting out? XW finally emerged and as we started talking OM strolls past with a blacker then normal smug look? XW was very talkitive and in a decent tone until her drunk uncle drove around 3 time looking for a parking spot and XW's mouth went into full trucker mode.

Anyway, we talked about S11's "strepthroat" being allergies, he cleared up over the weekend. She said she wouldn't know what from but agreed. I did indicate the fact of all the cigarette smoke in the car with her and OM sure doesn't help (S11 has asked her repeatedly not ot and XW said she didn't at the Dr. exam).

XW then addimently asked again if we could talk at some point this week. I said that is fine, the phone works both ways. She then said "well you're not going to get all 'gay' with me will you?", I could only say, now that's the type of attitude to really make me want to look forward to the "conversation". She apollogized and said "we need to talk".

At his point I sent both boys in and asked her to please provide a copy of S12's adoption papers as I was having a hard time with insurance company's to that regard. Then asked camly what happened to S12 when he cut his knee open as I have paperwork to complete. She looked she crapped herself for a second. The whole while OM kept poking his head out the door and windows. Heh, I had half an incling to grab her butt and kiss her on the cheek the final time, but thought better of it and just lether know she seems expected inside and left.

So another sleepless night.

What's up with OM's overly survelant behaviour?

What's up with XW's change of tone?

And what in the world is so important she "needs" to talk about?

At least the psych sessions are paying off. My cousin thought XW and I had zero interaction with each other when I got back since I was in a ok mood. She was shocked when I told her all this.

So, something's a brewing and it's coming very, very soon, stay tuned.
