In the process

[newmama]

Today I asked ExH about how/when we should drop off the application to the new daycare. We decided that he would give me the check and paperwork and I would drive it over this week (since I have the days off).

He asked me "what do you think we should tell the director?" I said that we should tell her that you live on the north side of town, I am on the south, and we needed something in the middle.

He adds "yeah, you can tell her that you needed something close to your work." (???HE HAS BEEN REPEATING THIS FOREVER and I don't know where he is getting it from! Maybe because I was excited about the daycare possibility that was 2 buildings away from my work. But I insisted that wasn't a necessary requirement.)

I wonder if he was afraid that I would give the director too much information about how he lives with another woman and divorced me in order to be with her...heh heh!


And then we discussed this next week's plans. First we were talking about when he would pick up S on Christmas Eve. I asked him what time he preferred...I was open because I could use time to wrap presents and get the house prepared for the next day, etc. He said he was flexible. Then I was telling him that I think he could pick up S on the day after Christmas for a few hours if he wanted because I needed to clean up after the party and then be ready to take S to my dad's that night. He said that was fine and that he didn't have any plans.

He added that he might be able to take S straight over to visit his mom and sister since she is in town. (year 2 of him not bringing OW to visit during Christmas. Wow, what a great relationship to be in where you have to hide the love of your life--no, make that SOUL MATE-- from your family! HA.HA. He deserves every stress and inconvenience that is coming his way!!!)

I told him that I had taken S with me to his sister's because I purchased Christmas presents from her. He looked at me in a surprised way. I told him that she's very talented! Did he not remember or even know that she is making homemade bags, aprons, etc? I added that I was going to be dropping by real quick on Wednesday to pick up some more things since I had tons of shopping to do still.

Then we discussed when he would pick up S on Tuesday. I told him taht he could pick him up from daycare because I would be dropping him off just before his nap. Again, exH looked surprised and said "Oh-from daycare?" I explained that I will need to finish my shopping so I would drop him off just before his nap. That way, he will only be awake for a couple of hours before exH gets him. I don't know if exH was judging me for putting him in daycare or what! He did say "well, I guess since we're paying for daycare you might as well use it." I did remind him that it was only for a few hours, and I wouldn't be putting him in it every day.

(Tomorrow I will drop S off at daycare for 3 hours- he will get there in time for lunch, then have a nap and I will get him when he wakes up! I will have enough time to drive to one shopping center, pick up stuff for a few members of the family, and drive back to get S)
