I politely but firmly replied that I am not able to drop him off, but any one of their family members (MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL) is welcome to pick him up earlier than the scheduled time if that helps with their plans. There is no question whether he’ll attend the party, it’s just the pickup time that hasn’t been organised on their part.
I’m apprehensive to see or speak with X-MIL. I’ll just treat her like I’d treat a checkout chick. Hi, bye etc. I recently cleaned out a cupboard and found a scrapbook left behind by X, containing all the cards he received at his birth and his first birthday. Should I give it to her when I see her? X clearly didn’t care for it, but she might.
My L emailed through my divorce certificate yesterday, must have been thirty days after the hearing. I smiled when I saw it. My wedding dress is still hanging in my wardrobe, what should I do with that thing? It would be a waste to burn it. I always intended to sell it but it would probably be better to donate to St Vinnie’s.
The sun is setting right now and it’s still very warm at 7pm. I grilled sticky chilli and mango chicken burgers for dinner, and took S2 on his bike to the park. Chatted with a few different neighbours on the way home then chased S2 around the yard with the hose. We’re having a wonderful summer. Time is flying by way too quickly.
