The latest with me

[ImprovedRomeo]

Thanks Mind! you have a way of making me feel better.

I just got this email from her:

Well thanks but its not like you would actually want to stay with my mom anyway. and going home is never really a vacation, its more of a visit. I will look today to see about tickets/etc.

Are you going to take DD camping this weekend or no? If not I can cancel it, if you want to let me know.

DD asked if you could pick her up early today and I said maybe he can. She asked to bring pie so there is a black lunchbag with some pie and ice packs in it on top of the cubbies, try not to forget it. Also, tomorrow is her Daisy meeting so you can pick her up from the Library around 530. And Friday is 'crazy hair day' at school. Maybe you can just give her some weird pony tails or something. Today was another picture day so she is wearing nice clothes (don't know how nice they'll be by the time you pick her up though, haha.)

I have to be a bit careful in how I respond or if I should at all? What she's talking about her mom is when the last time we were separated her mom was pretty nasty to me. Her and I had never had ANY issues before, I was surprised how all of a sudden she became so nasty. From then on I never really want to do anything with her, I just tolerated her because of my STBXW.

Camping...this was an old planned trip from several months ago that STBXW had made a reservation for. I'm surprised she even remembered let alone cared. I wasn't planning to take DD but maybe I need to show her that I can go camping without her.

Last part is just chit-chat I think, she baked a pie last night, I've always liked her pumpkin pies. So maybe she's using D as an excuse but it's a nice gesture no matter what. However, last time we were like this something bad happened whenever she was being nice to me e.g. she filed for divorce in the background without me knowing while on the surface she was asking me if I needed something from the grocery store "since I'm here" etc.

As for picking D up early, I really would want to but it's been really hard for me and D to be up at 5:30AM, rush to school, then I drive like a mad man for over an hour to get to work, then leave early as is to pick D up while D spends a FULL day there...how does she expect me to pick her up even earlier...I'm sure D must've asked though and she's just relaying it to me.
