I took kids back a couple of days late to let them adjust to new school/school resuming (Normal kidswap would have. Edn evening of first day of school). X has contacted kids often this week; texting, calling and even asking them to ask me if she could take them to church. I think I've handled it well, declining her request (I've shared my time generously in the past but will no longer) and I will take them to church this AM. It's funny if you think about it:

"I'm taking you to court and taking the kids all the time. In the meantime would you please let me have them so I can take them to church?"

I will talk to kids tonight about what's going on before they go back to her tomorrow after school.


"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
