Time for an Introduction...and Thanks

[figure-it-out]

Thanks for the support labug.
I'll stick with this post going forward.

I had posted another thread asking if I should remind my H about our S parent teacher conference today. I think I am going to take labug's advice and not remind him. If he texts me asking for the time, etc. of course I will but I'm not going to do what I normally would.

He is supposed to be staying at our house this weekend in order to take care of our S, the dogs, etc. Our D has a competition in Las Vegas this weekend.
Nervous to see what happens. The last time he stayed while we were gone I came home to find our S bedroom halfway painted. He was supposed to come back and finish it but never did.

My S also mentioned that he had been talking about taking S to my MIL house on Sunday so he could stay there all next week. Upset me a little bit as this wasn't discussed with me. I don't come home until Monday and have not made plans for anyone else to feed our animals, let them in/out etc. Also, I do not want our 17yo D to stay alone at the house while I work next week. We have had some issues with her boyfriend in the past which my H knows about.

Definitely looking forward to getting away though.

One other curious event to run by everyone...
My birthday was last Sat. H came over on Th night and took the kids to get me a gift. They gave it to me Sat. morning along with their cards. I didn't expect one from H as I have not gotten one from him since he left. After I opened them though my D said "oh, dad said he'd give you your card later" I said what card? She said "he said he already bought you a card and will give it to you when he sees you" Now I know darn well there's no card but what't the point of telling the kids there is?
The craziness continues. I'm doing my best to keep on my path and become the best me I can.
