I just came back from a great 7 day vacation in Breckenridge Colorado with my kids. It was an awesome trip and we had a great time. I taught my S7 how to swim without any flotation and I had my D4 dunking her head under the water.

I took my S whitewater rafting (my D was too small to go); the three of us spent a lot of time in the resort's pool; had the family reunion on Sat; took a gondola ride up the mountain where I took them both on an alpine slide; we toured a gold mine; and a lot of other stuff.

I really needed the vacation and it served as a great break from the garbage I've been dealing with.

My W served me with a refrain from order and D papers (both full of fabrications and twisted 'truth') and she had the nerve to show up at the house today to swap the kids. I emailed her before I went on vacation and told her I wanted to do the swap either at my brothers house or in a public area.

I was getting the kids ready and she walked in the front door. The first thing I asked her was if she got my brother's text this morning. She said she didn't. Then I told her I emailed her. She said, "I didn't check my email today." I told her I emailed her before leaving and said how I wanted to do the swap. Of course, she had nothing to say.

I ignored her and got all my stuff together. She tried to engage me in conversation a few times but I didn't respond with anything but a yes or no if it was warranted. I had my tape recorder on the whole time. Then she has the nerve to offer me salad and chicken she made while we were away.

She is so out of touch with reality it's actually sad. Because of the 'refrain from' order I have been only texting and emailing to her through my brother or sister in law. It's like that for my protection because she's fabricating things and I need to protect myself.

After I got my stuff together I gave my kids a hug and a kiss and walked to the front door. I said goodbye to my kids and about 10 seconds later I heard my W say goodbye to me. I just ignored it.

I have no desire to look at her, talk to her - anything. The outright lying and fabrication has really put that big nail in the coffin for me.

I'm a bit tired and have some catching up to do here.
