Random note

  Son and I were talking the other night and he made a comment about not having time for anything other than school, football and homework.  I told him football would be over before he knew it and he'd be complaining that he wished he was still playing.  I told him that he did the same thing every year: said he wanted to play, then complained he didn't want to play, then played and said how much he loved it.

  Son's response to that was: "If I complain next year, I want you guys(Me and Husband) to force me to play."  I told him I wanted to get him saying that on video and laughed.  Son said, "No, seriously.  If I complain, just make me do it anyway.  I want to play, I just have to be forced because I'm lazy."

  Aside from trying to make you smile, I am posting this a year in advance because I can all but guarantee you that we will have yet another fight with The Ex next summer/fall about whether or not Son is playing football.

Just when you thought she couldn't get any worse...

   A couple weeks ago, Girlfriend and Son came down to visit for the weekend.  We had a really good time.  They made a surprise gift for us; they used a poster board and paint to put all the kids' and grandkids' handprints and our last name on it.  I almost cried when they gave it to us, it was so sweet.  We all sat on the couch and held up the gift; I obviously posted it because it makes my heart full.   A week after Son & Girlfriend had visited us, Girlfriend began messaging both me and Daughter.  She sent pictures of text messages on Son's phone.  The Ex had texted Son saying:      Text 1: "Was wondering if you are ever going to stop over to open all your guys gifts? I never have my tree up this long... but didn't want to take it down until after you all have come... [Ned] has tried multiple times calling and texting both you and [Girlfriend]. ( Odd that Ned is the one calling and texting instead of The Ex being the...

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...

Voicemails from 2013

  2013 started with us still withholding placement, so most of the voicemails were centered around how The Ex had come to pick up the kids and "didn't know why" Husband wasn't letting her have them.  There was some fun about the Christmas party that The Ex's family was having.  The Ex had talked to Husband and told him that the party was at her sister's house.  On Tuesday, Husband emailed The Ex asking for confirmation about everything.  No answer.  On Wednesday, The Ex's sister sent Husband a text asking if the kids were coming to the party; Husband replied that he had emailed The Ex about it the day before.  Husband then sent The Ex a text that said he had emailed her on Tuesday and to please read his email and reply.   Thursday night, The Ex leaves a voicemail at 6:59pm:      "Hello, it’s [The Ex]! Um, I did get your text message. ( He sent the text 25 hours ago asking her to check her email and reply to it; she still had not...
