X tried to plan Thanksgiving and according to the papers and how she thought it was suppose to be. We both have Thurs and Friday off, I have them Tues and Weds but the holiday schedule for this is for X to have them Weds night and I get them Thurs overnight. X was under the impression of getting them all day Friday cause that is "her day". I called her while she was at work to discuss this around lunch time and it was ok but I didnt get pissy, but X did.
Then I brought up Xmas how it was suppose to work and didnt like that either. Anyways, a while after we got off the phone, I get email say never to call X at work unless its an emergency and let her know where she can pick kids up at 7am Friday morning and that the next 4 years is my weekend after Thanksgiving (earlier I did bring up the fact while on the phone that I go 4 or 5 days without seeing them every other week). So couple hours later I am driving home and X calls and leaves a more than 2 minute message cause it cut X off at 117 secs. X was polite and acknowledge that we just need to get along like we have been lately and that is best for everyone. I mentioned on the phone to X I only communicate what I need to in response to my communications or lack of X talked about.
Later on that same night, I get a couple of texts saying she didnt know why she thought that was her day so maybe next year she could have them and to call her next week.
So anyways it worked out, the exchanges went well Thanksgiving. Then I get a hair in my butt to take her up on her "meeting" since she wanted to see the kids Friday. My S went out of town with my dad for the weekend and I had the lil girl. Well I text X asking if she is going to buy us dinner. X said "maybe somewhere cheap". X also asked "why the change of heart" I replied "no reason".
Met her at 5 with lil girl and it wasnt too bad. X had been shopping all day and X was in a uppity mood which was good. Kept asking me how is so and so, and her and him, and etc. Keep asking me "so whats new". I just couldnt really talk like I have never been able to do, or if I did, just not in so much detail. There was so much I wanted to say, but just couldnt. I did crack a lil funny thing about how X always saying bring when it should be take. I just had to correct X and she did get a kick out of it and said "i havent had to hear that for a long time".
All in all it was good. X did ask again in person "why the change of heart" (once again refering why I wanted to meet up with her) and i replied the same as I did in my text. We left and X walked me and lil girl to car and said thanks for dinner and we ought to do this again sometime. This was at McDonalds cause they just reopened and have a indoor playground. X was about to pay for meal after we ordered but I didnt allow it, told her I was just joking with her about her paying.
So I guess the whole email and text is out for now. Will try to better communicate with X but dont want to get hurt by her again. X emailed earlier saying boy prob isnt going on a field trip Sunday morning with boy scouts cause its too far away but instead wants to take them to see Santa and if I would like to come. Also sent me a video of daughter singing a song she sings all the time shortly after.
Thats the majority of it, but for now its time to leave work and come back in later for a few hours so I have tomorrow off.
