Michelle,

The phones were FREE. All of them. The phone upgrade was free. So no harm done. But hey, my W seems to always look for an excuse to justify being mad. And so she was. No big deal. I try my best not take it personally anymore. There is enough stuff to worry about already.

W made a comment about the phones being useless for the boys because they had a different area code than the town she lives in with her folks. She said it was a waste of money because the boys wouldn't even receive texts from their friends because those friends wouldn't text a long distance number.

I text'd back and said I tried to have the numbers switched to the correct area code, but it didn't work. So when I actually got back home to CO, I called the carrier again, and managed to change the boys' area code for a fee!!! Which I reported back to the W. She didn't reply.

My W feels I always go against what she says, so "buying" those cell phones likely went against what she would have done. She also said I try to buy the Boys' love.

Well, I did spend money, using my part of the tax-return money. I thought it was all for a great occasion. Anyway, I told W she is mad at me regardless of what I do, so there is nothing I can do about that after 2 years of my W's anger. Might as well stay positive...
