ahoy,
you are right. what i'll do is have the kids give the couple of things i've already gotten to her.

maybell,
i eagerly await you chiming in.

update:
so yesterday i rushed home to try to make my son's practice. well, i got there but he was not there. didn't hear anything from the W until 9p. she texted to see if i wanted to tell them goodnight. called and asked S why he wasn't at practice. he didn't realize he had practice cause W forgot. man he was pissed at her. she got mad at me (i didn't really care) cause i didn't text her to let her know. i told her i was sorry he was upset but she needed to back up with her anger as i did not deserve that. told her that calmly and then said "can i speak to my D now?" she got back on the phone after that and tried to placate me (as close to apology as i'll get nowadays) by saying she forgot cause she worked so much this weekend-and then hurriedly said i did too. told her to take care and hung up. 20 min later she texted again and asked if i wanted to call him again as he had calmed down. said no that's alright i don't want to get them upset unadvertantly. she said i could take the kids out to dinner on tues nite. saind thanks and signed off.

so today went to pick the kids up and didn't really pay her any attention or really even look at her. she kinda followed me around and said "are you mad at me?" just said nope and took the kids out for dinner & ice cream. when we came back, she said that she was sorry for bing rude last night and i told her i wasn't mad but i was getting tired of the anger she was showing me. she said again she was sorry and i accepted. she asked me about work this week and i kinda blew her off (it's ok) and didn't really ask about hers. she mentioned going to disney with some of her work friends in may and not being really as excited about as she usually is (that's where our Family always vacations). she was near me and was expecting me to give her a hug when i left. i looked at her and said take care and she kinda got off the top of the table with an expectant lood on her face. i smiled and walked out the door.

got to my car and realized i left important mail inside. when i went in she got off the couch and came towards me saying, "that was abrupt. i'm glad you came back." realized i better do something to show that i wasn't mad (anger used to be a BIG problem for me) so i hugged her and said i wasn't mad. i know i shouldn't have but it was a 180 to make sure that i wasn't leaving a difficult situation with feelings of anger on both sides.
let the 2x4's commence.

on a different note, i have felt somewhat detached today. which is weird after noticing that she is following a high school boyfriend on twitter but not me.
