Thanks for the support Guys. As long as I am honest with my reasons for funk and not acting on them I guess I am doing alright. I think when I come off weekends of trips/plans/excitement and I come home to nothing, no kids, no wife. It sends me for a little funk. But, I'll get there.

Going back to the email exchange. Yesterday, I tried to validated her position with the below. Which is the entire email. And Mozza will be so proud of the lack of exclamation points.
"I don’t believe you are overthinking it. If there are a lot of older kids and they aren’t necessarily nice kids the experience could be poor. I will explain the concern to Teacher and see what she thinks. Of course her opinion will be biased, but it will be another perspective nonetheless."

This AM, I sent a brief text asking how D was feeling.... "How was/is D this morning?"

I received this back.... "She was better. Just tired and low energy from not eating, but in much better spirits. She had a smoothie here and was eating waffles at my moms when I left. She should be good! Now hopefully S doesn't come down with it..."

I responded... "That's good. Thanks."

And then an hr later by some set of circumstances that I will never understand, I was called by her. I honestly think this may be the first time she has called me (when I haven't had the kids) in eons (I can't remember the last time). She went on to explain that D is no longer all that good. She talked, I listened and tried to validate. There were multiple instances where I was caught off guard not knowing how to respond. But I did well. Didn't bring up anything. Kept it light.

I think I did okay, definitely room for improvement.

But it bothers me that she hasn't made an effort to discuss some of the items I have left in her court... the coffee/co-parenting meeting. the plethora of things that are here that she wants (treadmill, furniture, etc). The ball is in her court unless I want to bring it up again... which as of today I don't.
