This weekend we did a little road trip. From our town to Joplin, MO then to Tulsa, OK and back home. A mere 12 hours in the car home. Oy. I’m still tired but it was good practice for the two of us for next week.
We leave next week (6/13) to go to Tampa for N’s power soccer tournament. Whoever decided that Tampa in June was a good idea is crazy. But alas, we’re going. I’m sure it will be fine, but the kids seem to think that because we’re driving down there, it is a super cheap trip. I’ve tried to impress upon them that it is not. That the hotel is very expensive, the gas is expensive, the hotel rooms on the way down and back are expensive. The whole thing sucks. But we can’t not take them. I expect we’ll end up paying more for this trip than we pay Evil Ex in child support for a month.
Speaking of Evil Ex, she goes on vacation starting tomorrow night, which means we will have the kids from Tuesday 6/5 through at least 6/19 and probably 6/20. Why someone would leave on vacation prior to their kids last day of school is a mystery to me. But evidently a trip to Mexico to see a band they’ve seen 50 times before is more important. Regardless, we’ll get to celebrate the end of the school year with them and she’s going to miss it. And we’ll still be the bad guys, the horrible people, the ones who screw everything up, the ones with the most evil intent. Whatever.
Can you tell I’m in a mood? Must be the hormones.
Speaking of hormones, baby seems to be doing just fine. No sickness (a bit of nausea, but not too much) and I’m tired, but otherwise I’m clicking along. It will be interesting to see the kids tomorrow after being with their mom for 4 days. The Tuesday after her weekend is always bad. Hopefully they’ll get through it quickly. But we’ll see. I’m interested to see if they are as protective as they were last weekend, or if they are ambivalent (as I expect them to be.) Only time will tell.
