Went swimming with her this morning and it was uneventful, which was okay.
Got a call about 1pm from her telling me that our appointment for our youngest was at 1pm tomorrow instead of 1:45pm. She said I know we were goingto get some lunch and it will now have to be quick and I told her yes, we can do that.
Well, went to get the kids this afternoon for a few hours. We were originally going to try to go do something on Friday and the other day she told me this week was tough between her and her parents. Anyway, she askd me if I can take the kids Friday night too. I said why what's up? She said I don't want to ask my parents to watch them and one of our bosses got transferred and they are having a going away party for him. I said you're going to go to a party when you and I had plans? She said it's a one shot deal with his party and also that she would prefer to work and let other people go to the party. (I alos had a backup plan on Friday. People at work were playing pool and an old friend was going to be in the area too). Well, she said "You know they are your children too and I have them 24x7!!!" I told her I would let her know. So, my dilemma is whether to take the kids for an extra night or not. Do I give up my Friday night so that she can work (or maybe she is actually trying to find a way to go to the party!!! lol)
I would love an opinion on this from people. I know it is all about the kids; but if she wanted to why not ask her parents? I do know that she is having issues and she won't tell me what it is with her parents. I have overheard that it is mostly that her dad yells at our 8yr old. (My ex always gave me a hard time about that and now he gets to do that without any issues??)
Well, one last thing. We started talking about getting together next Saturday and she asked me what we would do. I told her maybe grab some dinner and then go hear some music or comedy. She then said I will work on a sitter. But as long as it isn't a date. IS told her why do we have to label it why can't we just go out and have a good time? She said cause we have to label it. She shows one thing and then says another. I will keep being the way I am. Why change? It would only let her say it was fake changes. Is this a she says one thing; but not to believe everything I say???
Well, I have a woman who I am supposed to get together for lunch and I will do that if we can come up with a mutual time to meet. Also, an old neighbor of ours who was friendly with my x and since then, knows all of what happened, told me that she would pray for me and that I deserved better than what I am getting. I tend to agree. It's too bad that this may never get a chance??
