I probably did this wrong, but here is my response to W.
Hi,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I was in an all day meeting yesterday and have 3 days of training now through Friday. Maybe we can chat today if you are home when I get the kids.
Thanks for the update on Christmas gifts. I can understand why you would be concerned about the kids getting duplicate gifts for Christmas, but the kids are living in two households now and I think it might make sense for them to have duplicates of some items. We can talk about it some more, but it could make their lives easier than constantly having to drag items back and forth. It would help if I didn't have to stop by your house every time I pick-up the kids so that they can get their "stuff". I'm just not sure about how to deal with the phones. I will try to keep you informed my family’s purchases as I find out and I will tell them to let me know so that we can keep track. I do know that my Sister is intending to give them a set of dominoes next weekend. I have yet to see any suggestions from the kids. I recently bought them some XBOX games, so if you want to ask S which ones he already has, that would be your best bet. If you don’t want to ask him, I can write them down and send it to you.
Regarding the move, I was just notified late last week that my landlord wants to move back into the house that I am living in on Nov, 30th. He originally told me that I could move into his big house for the same rent, but has since changed his mind. He does have a brand new. 3 bedroom raised ranch located four miles from my current location, but it IS across the state line. I have contacted my attorney regarding this, but haven’t heard back from her yet. It is my intent to also look within the county, but am unlikely to find a similar property for a similar price. I appreciate your understanding regarding the situation and I will ensure that transportation for the kids to school is arranged. I intend to continue to pick them up from school on the days that they are staying at my house. I am not overly concerned about the court orders as long as we agree to what we are doing. This will only be an issue if one of us wants to make it an issue.
I may need you to pick-up the kids from school on Nov. 3rd. I am trying to plan a trip to NJ for early that week. I would likely fly out on Mon am, so it may also be best if the kids came back to your house on Sunday night the 31st. Otherwise, I can also make other arrangements.
