Thank you snodderly.. Thank you! I called him.. He said he was fine and asked how i was.. I told him i was worried about him.. He apologized and said he had been drinking a little to much.. He said he should throw his phones away when he drinks... He asked permission to pick up the kids and take them sliding and bring them to the restaurant after.. I said yes...I know 2 of the kids will go but i' m not sure about the older ones... I always wonder if those calls are cry for help or desperation or martyrdrom.. Eiter one, they scare me...
