Married now living seperatly

[FunDad]

Tough day today; however, I'm thankful for four in a row that were nice. I had to change the pick up schedule of our kids this week because of a meeting at work. My wife and I could not work out the simple change via text in the schedule and it turned into a bad situation with us getting confused on pick/up drop off this morning. She decided it's easier to just cut out all of my help this week (including evenings at the pool with kids) rather than be able to flexible on the one day. I think she's being darn right hateful and acting mean and I know our kids are going to be disappointed. What to say to them? I've decided to just tell them if they ask it did not work out tonight rather than blame her. The kids therapist says that we should just tell them just the WHAT (e.g. no pool) and NOT necessarily the WHY (e.g. mommy said no) for their sake. I think that's smart.

In other news, I think I'm going to start some chainsaw art projects. I built a really neat bench once out of some fallen trees, and I have others that need to come down also. The weather is starting to turn a bit cooler, and chainsaws like that. :-)
