Saw WW again today. Kids had a short day at school and were home about 2 hours early. WW offered to get them at the house, but I really didn't trust her being here alone so I took a late lunch and met her here. I get sick of things just walking out of the house with no notice so I won't be letting her rummage through things anymore unattended. We talked for about 10 minutes, all very polite, but a step removed from friendly. She mentioned car trouble and started asking questions, but I politely dodged and wished her luck figuring it out. I think I'm now coming across as confident, and not necessarily happy, but definitely more detached, and as we like to say here, treating her like "a nosy neighbor". It's funny that after I've realized I don't want to R with WW, I find it easy to detach. And I guess I won't even say that I will "never" be with her again, but it's certainly not something in my near future.
So the visit was fine, she left with kids, and I headed back to work. Got to catch up with one of my brothers on the phone who I had not spoken with in a couple of weeks. Then left work early and golfed 9 holes with 3 other guys from the new job - very fun and relaxing. I think the face to face with WW did have a little impact, as I felt a little down during golf, but not terrible, and I was able to bounce back pretty quick.
Got home tonight, and surprised to find all 4 kids at home. It is supposed to be one of the nights WW keeps them all night and provides dinner, which she had just confirmed earlier. But apparently she called S18, had sounded upset, and told him it wasn't a good night to come over. Then she texted me and asked if I wouldn't mind and could provide dinner for them. I simply replied that it was fine, then started making something. Within 30 minutes, she's calling again and now wanting them to come over after all. Ugh. So now 2 pounds of ground burger thawed and nobody to cook for. I was irritated, but I simply agreed and sent them over. No idea why all the drama and last-minute switching but I simply agree with her and log it. After the custody hearing next week, I'll be making her stick to the court orders. For now, I figure the crazy and unstable behavior just makes me look even better as a parent.
Finally, at end of night, called mom and talked for about an hour, catching her up on everything. Kids all came back home and now in bed for the night. Overall, not too bad of a day. Looking forward to the weekend to relax and get a few more things caught up. This single parent stuff is exhausting.
