I plan to keep making plans, but sometimes I feel bad when I have to tell him we already have plans. There is always something happening with 4 kids, and he knows that.

He texted me again today.

H - Why haven't the kids been contacting me?

M - I don't know. They have full access to the phone.

H - Can you remind them they have a dad who would like to talk to them?

M - Why not call them?

H - Going to have to, apparently. I'll call around 4 or 5 on the house phone.

M - Make it 5. D8 won't be home until 4:15

So there you have it, folks. After not calling or seeing them since 11/21, he is calling tonight.

Should be interesting to see who actually speaks to him.
