Tonight and tomorrow night is the W's overnight with our 4 kids. She doesn't move into her apt until the 10th, so I either had to let her sleep here with the kids or keep the kids and let her sleep elsewhere. I chose to keep the kids even though it probably allowed her to go out and have a free night on me. I'm sure she's with OM as we speak, but I've given up trying to interfere in her quest for the greener grass.
She was to drop them off at 7p, but I left her a voice message to drop them off at 8p, because I was out and wanted more time. She sent an email saying she had left already and it had been a long day and the kids were exhausted. Then sent another saying how the kids were exhausted and wouldn't stop crying. I was thinking... Ok, be a parent and deal with it! Am a bit irritated, because I feel like I'm bailing her out and she's not able to struggle with the kids as much as I do nearly EVERYDAY. That said, I'd rather they were with me all the time, just want her to be a dang parent instead of getting out of her responsibility ya know.
My W and I have not spoken in probably over a week now, mostly voice messages left or emails sent regarding the kids. When W dropped off the kids, I had just gotten home and had on a new outfit... A new look. I went out to get the kids from the vehicle and handed her some of her mail and the kids folders for Sunday School for the morning when she picks them back up. She didn't say anything about my outfit, but I could tell she was looking. She made a couple comments about kids as I walked back to the house holding the baby and hugging my son. Off she drove.
Sent an email reminding me to set clocks back tonight, but I did not respond. Oh well... Life goes on.
