Went to church today with my 4 kids. I had to tell my S(10) that if he didn't come to church that he was going rollller skating cuz I wasn't coming back to my parents house after church. He no longer wants to go to church because it reminds him of his stepmom(my W). I almost broke down crying when he told me that last night. I know him and her were close, real close.
So after church we went out to lunch, I asked the kids where they wanted to go and of course they all said McDonalds. So after that it was off to the roller skating rink now we have been going every other weekend( the weekend that I have my daughter from my W) for about 2 months now. Normally my wife will pick up my daughter after work but when I grabbed my daughter on Friday I asked my W if it was okay I brought her home later since I was going to take the. Skating on a Sunday rather than Saturday cuz of the new job, W was okay with that. I even left an open offer for her if she wanted to come along as well since she saw my video I made of our D(5) skating on her own last time.
While at the roller skating rink I get a text from W, asking me if I could do her a favor. I contemplated on waiting til skating was done or answering her. So after about 30mins I message her back. "?" Then she asks if Icahn pick up 3 items from the store from her since her truck is still in the shop and she is still hobbling around the house. I didn't reply back with an answer but since the drug store was on my way I got the 3 items she asked for.
On my way to the house to drop off my D(5) I had my other 3 kids with me and I kept telling myself. Try not to show any emotions other than being happy and courteous. Well I walk my daughter to the front door and her sister(16) answers and lets us in. I gave her the bag with the 3 items, my daughter medications, and i also bought some more Vanicream lotion since our D(5) has eczema badly and the allergist said to use it but my wife ran out of the big tub with the pump on it which was $19. But I didn't say anything to her about it because I wasn't looking for recognition that I did something extra for anyone.
But the first thing out of my wife's mouth to me was "hey did you say the other day you were going to give me $100 for support for next week as well today?" I will admit, it did piss me off that she would even ask that but I kept my calm and told her I placed the $80 in the bag along with the 3 items I bought that cost $20 which makes the $100. Then I gave my D(5) a jig and kiss goodbye and left.
I could tell that something was not right with my 3 kids so as we pulled out the driveway and headed down the street I asked them if they were okay which they of course said yes, but when I asked my S(19) what's on his mind he said he wants to go back home, the home which we were just at. I almost about lost it in the car with tears because I know how he feels and how badly I want to go home too, but right now it's not something that my wife is willing to let us come back to. She is right not not even sure she wants to work on anything let alone let us come back home.
So 5 minutes later my W texts me, there is an outfit at your house of our D.i asked which one,and she said. The one from the school pictures. Now I was headed back to my parents house anyways but I guess just to act "as if" I messages her back " we'll I'll take a look for it later tonight when we get back to my parents".
And that was it so far today. Overall had a weekend. We made Friday a movie night since it was snowing here in PA and cold, the. On Saturday I let them play video games and watched some TV as well. Then Saturday night I downloaded the board game Life on my Ipad and us 5 played that for about 3 hours until bedtime.
