I emailed W about linking up with the boys for the summer. Well, what do you know...she called back almost immediately after she read the email. I really want to spend 2 weeks with the boys. She suggested one week in JUL. But because of work, I cannot. I asked het to check for AUG to see when the boys resume school. She said she doesn't know.

I thought to myself "what is doggone so hard to pick up the doggone phone and find out...". I told her I really would like 2 weeks with the boys. I think I upset her because she said "we always do what YOU want to do". I didn't react and just asked her how she was doing. She said "I have to go, Bye".

OK. Was it wrong for me to ask for 2 weeks? It's not like I see the boys each day. I thought I needed to make a stand without being nasty or angry. Anyway, I think I was OK in my approach.
