Had my sons birthday party today. What we originally planned was to have a party at a farm. Well with Hurricane Sandy coming up the coast that was canceled. I had a gut feeling, that this would happen. So I emailed my exW or W, whatever she is, Wednesday night so she could read it on Thursday at work. I asked if she had any thoughts or other options. She suggested a local bounce u. So I called over and spoke with the owner. Now they already had 2 other bday parties going on, so they were unable to do a party. However they did have a open bounce. I reserved 20 spots for the bounce and they suggested calling the local pizza place to see if we can get the party room. Now she calls me Saturday telling me that the farm called and is going to have to cancel because of the potential hurricane. OK so not panicking I called everyone that that we invited and told them of the change in plans. Called the pizza shop to set that up and ordered a birthday cake for the party. Some of the parents we invited were telling me how good I was at putting this together and shocked on such short notice we were able to pull something else off. Plus I had to go out and pick up the party favors and put them together in the bags. She was shocked that I had names on each one. So party today no problems only one child did not show up and that was fine. We did the hour bounce then went and got pizza which was fantastic. Everyone was laughing and the parents were entertained. One mother even said she was not sure that my W and I were even separated since we were getting along. Here is the weird part. I wear a ring on my left hand curse finger. I took it off cause I had icing on it. When I went and put it on without thinking the ring went right on my ring finger. I was the only one to notice I think and quickly switched after a few minutes. Just was very weird and I am guessing I was comfortable in dealing with her. I carried my daughter to her car and gave a hug and kiss to my son. Told her to be safe. Then went over to say goodbye to my inlaws. Who really hate what she is doing. Heard it first hand from my MIL. Now my W did not really say thank you to me except through text when I set this all up Saturday. Her only response about the party was on facebook and it said "So glad to have been able to save Matt's 7th Birthday party today. Thank you to everyone who helped and.celebrated with us!!" She is thanking the parents who helped serve or is this a psychologists way of thanking me for going above and beyond to plan this in short notice. I really don't know.
I went out with a friend of mine last night. His son is in class with my son. He and his wife are still trying to figure out why she is doing this. He said to me its the engineer in him that says see the problem and fix it. But she is part of the problem. They joke and tell me that they just don't understand what she is thinking as well. Just in time to add another one to the books of people who don't understand her thinking.
I can't wait to tell her that my family is planning a trip to Disney World for my mothers 70th birthday. See how she will take that. I can't wait to go but on the other hand I always thought she and I would take our kids as a family.
