Dropped by D10 & D8 sports camp yesterday, however, they were not there..called w to inquire if i was at the wrong field.
w: oh, they didn't want to do it after all. And, since it was 9-3 all week and all the prodding I had to do for the soccer camp, add in the cost and I just didn't want to force them, etc. on and on justifying.
me: ok, could you please just give me a courtesy call next time?
w: I didn't know you were going.
me: well, it was on the summer schedule we talked about at the beginnning of summer and I wanted to stop by like I did a few times during soccer camp or any other event the kids have. I make just about everything.
w: ok, are you still picking up the kids at 4:30 (usually 5)
m:yes
w: I have plans during that time, so I 'll receive them at 9:00
She was trying to bait me I think and all I wanted was a heads up and courtesy..an apology would of been great, but nope. And what's with the "receive" comment? What are they a foottball?
No big deal, thing is, I often wonder with little things like this how waw would be upset as well. So, for me, when it comes to the kids, don't fu@# around!
Anyway, had the kids from 4:30-9 yesterday. Took 'em to waterpark. W did include an extra free day pass for me which was nice and didn't have to do. Thanked her. All had a good time. D10 & D8 went off on the water slides for the most part while D5 & S3 and I were in the wave pool and this captain ship with all kinds of slides, squirt guns, etc. fun!
Stayed until park closed then ordered a pizza and took to play ground. S3 fell asleep so I let him while we ate then the girls played and I kept close to son who was still sleeping.
It was dark when I returned them and they wanted to stay with me which always makes me feel appreciated. W asked about a bill and we said good night.
I've conceded that going dark is not possible when you have 4 kids.
