Why are we still M? That's what I want to ask W. Why are we still M?
Today is W's day to come to town to work and take the kids to school and pick them up. She was late getting to town (the norm lately), so I took D9 and the neighbor kid to school so they wouldn't be late. When I got back home (5 minute round trip) W had arrived. I threw some laundry in the washer and grabbed some snacks for breakfast at work. W was spending some fun quality time with S6. Very nice. I was cheerful and told them to have a great day and left for work.
Here's where my PMA disappeared...
It got very cold last night and everything outside was frosted. As I backed down the driveway I noticed the dirt coated back door/window of W's van. You could tell she had run the rear-defrost on the back window b/c the melting frost had cleaned the dirt coating off making a pattern where the defroster strips are. Make sense? So my mind asks, "How could she get frost on her van if it's parked in her garage?" Well the shed that OM lives in (and I'm not being sarcastic when I say shed) has no garage so W's vehicle would sit outside if she spent the night there. Thus the frost covered van.
I know, there could be a million other reasons why her van sat outside last night, or how her van got so covered with dirt, or how the "clean" pattern got on her back window. I know, I shouldn't worry about what W and OM do, I have no control over what goes on out there. I know, work on me and be the best father to my kids I can be. But some days I just want to say WTF and throw in the towel b/c it just ain't worth it!
They are treating us to pizza at work today so that will raise my spirits. I'll probably be back to polite friendly coparent by the end of the day.
