"The Show Must Go On"

[wishing, hoping]

And yet another call this morning. This time he left a message telling me D is still coughing and it's getting worse and she won't take her meds. Sigh. Always drama. So I waited about an hour and called him back.

He told me he wants to set up an email account for the kids that we both have access too so we can get to their information easily. Fine. But he wants me to come over to the house so we can set this up together? WTF? He wants me to help him set up a new account for S's phone with the carrier we both have so we can do more of a "family" plan. Why didn't he do this in the first place? Idiot. He asked me if he could take D dress shopping this weekend (during my time). I told him we would be busy all weekend so it wouldn't work. I asked why he couldn't take them on his weekend and he explained he needed OW to go along for a "girl's opinion" and she had her kids on his weekend so it wouldn't work. Hmmm...not my problem. I told him to take D during the week and he said she was always so tired and cranky. I said if you tell her you are buying her a beautiful dress she should be fine. I almost think he wanted to ask if he could use the dress I bought her. I didn't offer. He can buy her a dress. I am not bailing him out. He did ask me last night if I had dress shoes for her. He's so dam sneaky about stuff. I don't trust him one bit.

I do think he just wants to "feel good" about what he has done so he can say "look, I'm not a bad guy because we are still friends". He just wants to clear his conscience, so to speak. He can just wallow in his guilt because I am not letting him off the hook.

Curious to see where his path takes him and how he will get himself out of the mess he has made. I have no plans to help him. It's kind of like a train wreck...you can't look away.
