Just found out she already filed

[ImprovedRomeo]

Thanks guys I had a decent time. DD was upset when I got there because she wanted mommy instead. She started crying but with the help of her teacher I managed talk her into picking her up (she didn't want me to ) and we went into the playground area where the party was set up.

On my way to her school STBXW replied to my email above:

"Ok we'll keep the old June schedule then since the weekend splits are about the same either way.

The Build a Bear party starts at 4 and I was going to stay with her. I already asked if I could leave early and its ok. They have both emergency contacts for us for the summer camp and I was going to try to volunteer 3 of the days (and take 1/2 days from work) so I would be there 3 of 5 of the days.

I hope that helps. I am going to bring a costco pizza to the thing tonight and should be there around 5:15ish if you can stay. She said she wanted me to bring 3 pizzas (but I'm not...) and that we both have to go. I will make sure to save a couple slices for you guys if you want."

I hung out with a few parents that I know...usually she was the one who socialized and started conversations with people with me just her wing man but today I walked up to a few parents who I hadn't see for a while and talked for a bit. She showed up as I was talking to one of the parents and asked if I wanted the pizza, I told her I was ok but to check with DD who was running around and left it at that. She handed me a piece of pumpkin pie saying it was for DD from her work, she then walked away. I later went looking for DD and found her sitting down with STBX and having pizza. Soon she didn't want anymore and ran off with her friends. I and STBXW were left, with me feeling awkward (she was wearing new clothes...I see my money's being put to good use while I'm watching pennies). Anyway, I confirmed if I was keeping her tonight and tomorrow night since I was confused. Then we started walking but I decided I wasn't going to follow her so I went looking for other parents and soon found people to talk to. Little while later she came over as, I was talking to two of the dads, and said to me jokingly 'here you want to hold one more thing?' and tried to give me DD's juice box. I said 'yeah I should've brought a utility belt' she laughed and said she was leaving and that she already gave DD a hug and told her. I said OK, then she left. I hung around since DD didn't want to go...she was just being difficult today.

By the time we got home she was OK...she's finishing dinner now and watching a cartoon.

I told one of the dads that we're splitting up...I figure I should tell people myself before her so at least she can't bad mouth me and people will take her side. I just said "Oh also...DD's mom and I are splitting up, unfortunately, it's her decision and I just thought I should mention it to you in case I don't see you guys before the school's out. But here's my email address, shoot me an email and we'll get the kids together for a play date". He just said he was surprised and sorry to hear it. What can anyone say...

Anyways, gotta get DD ready for bed soon...
