Ominus Bonus

[steady]

I sent my W a text this morning to tell her no one will be at my brother's house to get our S off the bus. (He rides the bus with my niece) She texted back saying she's in a bind. Her mom is busy with her dad and she has a late meeting.

I told her I would pick up our S and bring him back to work with me. I work late when I can to make up the time I have to use when I take them to school in the morning. She thanked me and I told her it wasn't a problem.

Co-parenting comes first. All the rest of the stuff lines up after that.

I continue to be myself and be nice and fair no matter where she goes. The other day she got a bit nasty but I just held my steady course. Didn't let her actions pull me in to her level. I actually feel better when I do that because I am projecting who I really am and I don't need to get down in the mud with her.
