Still here. Still not detached...

Thanks for the opinions you guys. The M&F counselor suggested we ask the kids too. My W didn't like the idea which makes me believe that she's afraid of what the kids might say, but that's her problem.

The plan for us would be to switch on a Wednesday with one of us dropping them off at school in the morning and the other picking them up in the afternoon. This avoids the Sunday night swapping problem and also sets up the exchange on neutral territory. W and I wouldn't even have to see each other.

Obviously this will require some coordination. W and I need to ensure that we have duplicates of just about everything so the kids won't have to worry about packing extra stuff on Wednesday mornings.

I know I need to handle things day by day (or even minute by minute) but it seems like such a huge mountain to climb before things start feeling normal again...
