This is what I keep repeating to myself over and over again lately, ever since BM had her baby.
She did take SS out of daycare and is picking him up directly from school everyday. SD is riding the bus on our days only. It'll be interesting to see how many tardies they rack up this week though, since BM's mom took them to school last week on her days.
I have DH carrying his papers just in case, but there weren't any issues on our days about when he went to pick them up.
As it gets closer to Xmas though I wonder when and if she's going to try to hit us with schedule change conversation again. I thought we had made it fairly clear that we weren't interested in the end and I'm pretty sure SD has made it clear she's not interested in that either anymore but we'll see.
But that's not the point of this entry.
Last night, I had a nightmare that she called and wanted to change the schedule by like an hour or something. Seriously. And I blew up in the dream, was like raging in the background while DH was on the phone with her about how selfish she was and how we weren't doing anything to convienence her. THEN, I grabbed the phone from him and started raging at her directly.
Needless to say, it was not a pleasant dream.
But when I woke up (to the wind whipping around the eves of the house at 2:30 AM, brrrrr) it just reminded me that I'm letting her wind me up for no reason. I can't control ANYTHING she does. I'm working progessively to letting it all go.
Hopefully by the end of this run, with only seeing her briefly for like a drop off or pick up on one day for the next 11 weeks, it'll be better. Honestly, this ISN'T my fight anyway, it's DH's. I'm just the backup, to make sure she's not running him over.
I think her absence is going to do me some good.
