Yesterday kids came running up my sidewalk breathlessly excited when Dan droppped them off. "Mom! Dad's friend from work came to Pizza Machine with us! And her son came too. He's seven. I like him."
Kids ran inside, I walked over to the car. I said, "If you have them 50% of the time,how about you spend the other 50% with her?" He says, "She is not moving up here, she cannot." Again, I assume it is in her decree and her son is only seven so that will be years...
I said, 'OK, so you guys are going to date long distance for years? That doesn't sound worth it...'
To which he replies, "She is just a friend that's all.Because she can't move here." I actually laughed out loud at that one.
I said, "Well the kids are smart and they know friends don't have overnight visits"...he just said, "We don't have those. She drove back last night all the way to K.C. She is just a friend."
Now that right there is funny.
Serenity is right I can't allow myself to be second or third in line for him. I wouldn't want to be her, anyway. At least in my case I know I tried so hard bc of 18 years together and 2 kids. Here she is apparently willing to drive 5 hours round trip to spend time with him on occasion when schedules permit, knowing they aren't getting married or even moving in together anytime soon. Hell maybe they both prefer it that way, they can go screw around with anyone else they want and then just hook up from time to time.
Onward and upward for me. There was no preschool today bc it is an early dismissal day. I didn't realize we canceled on those days, I have a lot to learn about preschool!
Oh and the family reunion yesterday was a lot of fun. Great to spend hours with people who love me.
