It's All My Husband's Fault

  Back on March 9th, Husband sent a message to The Ex letting her know that Daughter wanted to be in the school play.  The Ex never responded, positively or negatively.  On March 19th, Husband updated the calendar to reflect that the school play would be on May 8th & 9th.   Last night, The Ex sends Husband a message: "[Husband], ( The website clearly indicates at the beginning of the message that it is being sent from The Ex to Husband.  There is no reason to write his name.  I'm beginning to suspect that someone is writing this for her and she is merely copy-and-pasting the text. ) Do you think it's possible that we switch the weekend ( I don't know why but the construction of this sentence bothers me. ) of May 8th; due to [Daughters] class play. ( 1)That is not the proper use of a semi-colon, 2)you should have used an apostrophe in "Daughter's", and 3)it is not a "class play" when the entire school is involved. ) Driving up 2 days in a...

  A little while ago, New City began using a system that reports all police activity and puts it on a map.  The public is able to enter their address, select up to a five mile radius, and sign up for daily, weekly, or monthly notifications on crime around their neighborhood.   Yesterday, there was a posting for "warrant service" at an address very, very close to The Ex's home; the service only lists the first two house numbers and the street name instead of the full address.  I laughed out loud and said, "Wouldn't that be something if Boyfriend got arrested again?"   I decided to look into it.  There is a site called "VINE Link" utilized by a majority of the United States.  This site allows you to search for inmates and register for notifications when there is a change in status.  It's a great site for anyone who's been a victim of a crime; it's also handy in situations like this.  I went to the site, typed in Boyfriend's name and f...

  I told you all last Friday that something was coming.  Now that things have been put into motion, I'll explain to all of you exactly what is/was going on.   A few weeks ago, The Ex picked up the kids from our house in a completely different vehicle.  Husband and I are about 99% sure that New Guy was driving; the little stick figurines on the back window would indicate he was driving his wife's vehicle.   The next morning, The Ex was texting Daughter and telling her not to let Boyfriend leave the house.  Daughter asked where The Ex was; The Ex replied that she was finishing paperwork and would be home soon.  Later that evening, Daughter texted New Guy and told him that The Ex had papers that she needed New Guy to hold for her until she needed them in two weeks ( Two weeks would have been last Friday. )   I initially thought that The Ex was going to serve Husband with some kind of paperwork, but I thought more about it and it didn't make sense. ...

  I got some really great news early this morning which really kick-started everything.  I have been in an awesome mood all day long, and it's just been expanded on.   The Ex filed a domestic abuse restraining order against Boyfriend.   This stupid woman was advised by her attorney back in 2009 not to marry Boyfriend because it would hurt her chances of regaining custody.  Literally less than 3 months after we settled the court trial and she knew the kids would not be living with her full time, she married Boyfriend.  Four and a half years later, she's filing for a restraining order against him.   Her two children with Boyfriend are almost the exact same ages that Son and Daughter were when she filed for divorce from Husband for the final time.  This entire thing has been so predictable that I'm actually feeling bad for her.

  I hate to be all "Stay tuned to find out what happens next..."  but there's some stuff going down.  I don't want to say too much about it right now, but fortunately Husband and I are not directly involved.  Son and Daughter are indirectly involved; it's not detrimental to their well-being but it is absurdly dramatic.   We saw this coming awhile back and it's playing out exactly how I said it would, because The Ex is ridiculously predictable when it comes to things like this.   When the metaphorical coast is clear, I will let you guys know all about it.  I'm hoping it will be the early part of next week.

  This has nothing to do with The Ex, I just want to brag :)   Son got done with school yesterday and told me he needed to use my computer.  I asked why; he said I could see when he was ready but not to peek.  He tried finding it online, wasn't able to, said it would be in the paper.  I asked what would be in the paper.   You guys, guess what??   Son made honor roll!!!!!!!!!

  Husband recently filled out the summer schedule for both Son and Daughter on 2houses. ( With the kids in two different schools now, we have to figure out who goes where and when; it takes a little extra time and we like to make sure that everything is correct before sending it to The Ex. )  At the same time, he sent The Ex a message with a receipt and asked if she had gotten Son covered under her insurance; he reminded her that Son needs braces and the out-of-pocket cost will be a lot less for both of them if Son has two insurances paying for it.   Twenty-eight hours later, The Ex reads and ignores Husband's message and question.  The Ex then sends an entirely new message with the subject, "[The Ex's sister's name] Wedding" and she wrote: "The weekend of June 26th, the kids and I are in [The Ex's sister] and [The Ex's brother-in-law] Wedding. ( Yes, "wedding" was capitalized.  Daughter already told me that The Ex was standing up and tha...
