Boo!

It is the Friday before Halloween and we're going to chaperon the girl's first dance tonight. 6th graders have their dance from 3:15 to 5:15. So cute that it isn't even at night.

Of course this small thing cannot happen without significant controversy. The ex didn't know about the dance so of course it caused a HUGE issue. We can't chaperon the dance. That is not acceptable. It's HER day. We can't see the girls that night. We just want to take them from her that night. She can't believe we would do this without getting her approval.

From what I understand she considers herself the "school and medical" person of what they used to be.  He is of the opinion though that he does more with "school and medical" than she does and she knows it. I see him taking all the kids to the dentist and N to his medical appointments. He goes to conferences, soccer games, basketball games, everything. But she still seems to think that he is a useless piece of crap who can't do anything.

So it will be interesting to see if (now that she knows) whether she'll be at the dance. I think she will be. But since she has to work until 4:30 or so, who knows. But I think she'll be there. Which will totally ruin it. She can't let us do anything alone that might give us memories with the girls that she can't taint or be apart of somehow. It is so hard.
