Things lately.

  The Ex hasn't logged into 2houses for over 2 1/2 months.  We didn't have any Holiday Crazy from her this year, which I feel is a huge milestone because I don't think that's ever happened in the 13 years that I've been with Husband.

  Husband emailed her a while ago because last week was supposed to be her weekend; Daughter had practice Friday, an away game Saturday, and then would've had to come home Sunday evening.  Husband asked if The Ex wanted to switch weekends rather than driving down here three days in a row.  The Ex didn't answer for three weeks so Husband emailed her again saying they were going to switch weekends and he'd update the calendar.

  Husband is turning 40 this year.  I am frantically planning a surprise party for him.  Daughter rhetorically asked this morning, "Do you know how hard it is to plan a surprise party for someone you live with?!"  She and I keep wanting to say things to Husband in casual conversation but then realize that if we say it, the party won't be a surprise.  I invited Son and Girlfriend; they said if Son doesn't work the weekend of the party, then they will come down.  Girlfriend told Daughter that Son already told her to request off from her job for that weekend so that they can try to come.

  Girlfriend messaged me last week saying we were invited to their baby shower next month. (I know!!!)  I told her to count us in.  Son has been messaging Husband quite a bit lately but it's all nice stuff, not like the crap he sent over the summer/fall.  Last night Son sent Husband a friend request on Facebook; this morning Girlfriend sent me one.  I meant to accept, accidentally tapped "delete," had a small heart attack, sent her a request and then messaged her apologizing.  She accepted and then invited me to the baby shower via Facebook.

  So overall, things are pretty good ☺

If it walks like a duck....

  I could have told you a long time ago that The Ex is only claiming that Son has depression because it draws more attention to her and she thinks it will convince the court to grant her placement.  However, all of her actions prove that she's not actually concerned at all about Son; if he actually had depression, there's no way he'd be better off with her because she doesn't even pay attention to him right now.   A little over a week ago, Husband emailed The Ex saying that Son told us that she is telling him he is depressed and needs to be on medication.  Husband said that Son is not exhibiting any signs of depression and gave specific examples of how/why; he also said that since The Ex had a concern, he would schedule a doctor's appointment for Son and let her know when it is so that she could attend if she would like.   It took The Ex four days to respond. ( If you honestly thought your kid was depressed, wouldn't you be checking up on them a bit more fre...

Voicemails from 2012

  Sometime in mid-January:      “It’s [The Ex], I just wanted to talk to the kids. Can you please have them call me? Thanks.”   An hour and forty-nine minutes later:      “Hey [Husband], it’s [The Ex]. I called about two hours ago, if not a little more, to talk to the kids. Um, still waiting for you to have them call me back. Bye.” ( It was Family Night.  We didn't have our phones and she knew this. )   Early February:      “Hey [Husband], it’s [The Ex]. Wanted to talk to the kids, if you can have them return my call. Um...I know you say 5 o’clock is the best time to call so...I was hoping to catch ‘em. Have ‘em give me a call. Bye.”  ( Husband never said this.  Our schedule had been the same since 2009; the kids and I didn't get home until around 5:30pm.  The Ex even left a voicemail in 2010 saying that Husband had told her the kids get home at 5:30pm.  But now magically, Husband...

Must be awfully icy in Hell right now.

   Son & Girlfriend recently had a party for Granddaughter's second birthday.  Girlfriend created a Facebook event and invited all of their guests.  The Ex never responded one way or the other; given that Grandson is 3 years old and The Ex has attended his very first birthday party but not the others, I didn't know if she was going to attend or not.   About 2 weeks before the party, The Ex had planned a couples' weekend and invited her best friend, the best friend's boyfriend, and also Daughter and her new boyfriend.  The friend ended up backing out but Daughter and her boyfriend went.  Daughter said she also pre-warned her boyfriend that Ned is extremely awkward, that he had a staring problem, and that he's a terrible driver; her boyfriend later told her that he thought she was kidding about all of it but she was, in fact, warning him about the truth.  Apparently, Ned will just stare right at you and not say a single word; if you look back at...
