Hey all, another quick update- I ended up telling W I would agree to giving her more $$, I told her that I don't think it's "fair" but that when she says that she thinks it is I believe she's telling the truth, so I'd agree to it even though I have no idea how she came up with the numbers (her descriptions were a garbled mess of confusion). She sent the revisions to her L to have the paperwork revised. Was supposed to get it last Friday but W texted that she didn't get it from her L, so we're waiting on papers again.
Not much else to report between W and me. We hardly ever see each other except when exchanging kids. We chat a bit when we do and we get along fine, but it's very much a "friendly neighbor" kind of interaction. I get the impression she's trying to avoid me as much as possible, hard to explain but she contacts D17 about S11 when she should be contacting me instead, and there are other things like she showed up late to S11's bball awards and sat by herself even though she knew I was already there. It doesn't affect my PMA at all, I just think it's peculiar behavior.
The kids are on spring break this week. D19 came in Friday and we caught up on recorded shows (Face Off, yay!) and then went to see a movie Saturday, then went out to dinner Saturday night and watched another movie at home. S11 did not want to go to W's last night, said he wanted to stay at my house all week. I understand why, all his friends are in my neighborhood and W isn't taking any time off work this week so he would be stuck over there bored to death. I called W and told her what he had said, and suggested to her that he could come to my house during the day to hang out with his friends and then she could pick him up on her way home from work. She thought about it and decided that that would work. I asked her if it was OK if I had them Thursday night and Friday so I could take them to do something and she said it was fine, so I made reservations to take them indoor skydiving Thursday night. I've never been, but it sounds like fun I'm going to take Friday off and go see a movie with them and whatever else we decide to do.
I FINALLY repainted my master bedroom!! NO MORE PURPLE! If you don't remember the story, my W started painting it purple while I was at work one day, and I never have liked the THREE different colors of purple she used. So now it's a nice neutral gray with the tray ceiling and accent wall in a darker shade of gray. Also replaced the miniblinds with wide slat blinds and ordered a really cool ceiling fan.
