Well, I talked to Michael...................

He invited me over to his place yesterday evening.  We sat around and chatted.  Then we took his dogs to the park by the water.  We had to travel, so we took his Jeep.    Princess is a mixed; not to sure of what.  Pebbles is a beagle, but she weights about 18 pounds....... 

Apparently, Pebbles sits in the front where I was sitting, so I had to have her on my lap.  Princess sat in the back seat all by herself.  She would hang head over to the side to catch the wind in her face; so cute.  We were able to see the sunset and the moon rising.  It was a beautiful night.  It was........

Michael and I have so much in common.  He likes to ride his bike, to play tennis.  Last night, he asked me if I would like a beer, which I do not drink.  He offer me wine, which I drink.  And which wine did he have, my favorite; Moscato.  I could go on and on, but I do enjoy being with him.  I just wish we had more time for each other.  Will see how things turn out.

Yesterday, my ex came to pick up DJ.  Well, let me start this with what happen on Thursday.  I spoke with him on Thursday.  He told me that Sabrina, the baby girl had plans to come over this past weekend.  I told him that she had not called me about it or that the girls have not called me.  I have not talked to them since 2 weekend.  Oh, I did talk to Brenda Lee on July the 4th about my homework assignment, but nothing about the weekend.  Well, he told me that he would tell her to call me.  On Friday, he called me back to tell me that the girls decide to go with them to San Antonio.  The girlfriend's older daughter was going to have a swim meet there, so he was calling me to let me know that they were not going to come over.  In fact, he was going to take them to his real mother's house.  You see my ex is adopted and barely talks or sees to his real mother.  When we were married; I was the one to make the effort to take the kids to visit there grandma.  This hit me, plus I know that he was going to be introducing the girlfriend to his real mother.  I did tell him that that was very nice of him to take the girls to visit with Linda (the ex-MIL), but I thought that he should take DJ too.  I told him that it has been along time since she had seem them, and he should take DJ.  He said no that he would make plans again and take DJ at other time.  I told him that he should do it now that he had the plans set because the last time I took them was about 3 years.  He said no he would make the plans again.....  I know him he will not.  The only reason he went this time was because of the girlfriend's daughter swim meet.  I know they stayed with Linda even though he did not tell me that, but I know that is the only reason why they were at Linda's.  If the girls decide to visit with me this pass weekend.  I know that he would have not taken any of the kids with him to visit with their grandma, but the girls did decide to go, so that is why they saw Linda.  I just know it........

Well to get to where I was going with this........
He called me at 3pm; I missed his called and he left a voice mail.  He said that if I was still going to keep DJ till Monday.  You see.  I told him that I had plans for Sunday evening, but I wanted to see DJ on Monday before I left out of town.  Yep, my trip is coming.......    I called him back and told him that I had told him that I had plans for Sunday night.  I had told him about it.  He said Oh yes, I remember.  Well, We will be leaving San Antonio and I will rush to pick DJ up.  Can't believe him......  the things he will try.  Well, he picked DJ up at 6 pm, and the girls were with him.  He called me when he was heading into my apartment, so I could meet him outside because he was going to use my carseat because he did not have his.  No planning ahead..... just like him.

Well, when I went downstairs; my ex was driving up.  I head for my car to get the carseat.  The girls did not even get out of the car to say hello to me.  They just waved at me to say hello.  Sabrina did say that she was going to get out, but she saw that I headed for the car to get the carseat.  That is no excuse; she should had gone out.  I was so upset......  Why aremy girls acting and treating me this way......  This is so even fair........
I could see my ex tell my girls that I was going to be gone this coming week and they should say hello.  But they sat in there seat......  I did waved to them.  I blow a kiss to my son and turned around to walk the sidewalk to my apartment.  I am not going to stand this treatment.  They need to put some effort.  They need to understand that I am moving on with my life, and if they want to be in it.  They need to put some effort in it........

So I was glad to hear from Michael that night.  I was planning to go out to this hangout I heard about, but that changed once I heard from Michael........ 
It turn out to be a beautiful night......

So now to finish my planning for the trip.  I will be driving to Fort Worth.  I can not wait for my road trip.  I love to travel, so I will be renting a car to drive to FW, then I will fly to Amarillo; visit my grandma, grandpa and my aunt.  I will fly back on Friday morning to spend the weekend in FW and Dallas; with my aunt Liz.  Then I will fly back on Sunday night.  I can not wait.......  I so need this trip.

Well, Till next time......

  1. Hey Brin, I know these ex's can be jerks, they aren't helpful, only if it helps or suits them.
    As for the girls, hmmm don't know why they are acting that way with you. I guess you need to be more vocal with them. Call them, invite them over weekly, even if they don't accept. They will come around.
    As for Michael, don't push or pry, or have any expectations. Look at him as a nice gentlemen friend you've met, take it slow. Guys are different then us, and unfortunately when your in the game you have to play it. I know you want a relationship, but you have to go with the flow of the guy, they freak out if you expect too much too soon, and don't introduce him to you boy until way later.
    Have an excellent trip though, take pictures I always like seeing them.

  3. I love wine....my favorite drink...well outside of Red Bull and Vodka!!!  LOL!

    I wish I could even come close to letting you know what is up with your girls!  My only other thought is let em have it!  Ask them flat out what their problem is and why they feel they can disrespect you they way that they are.  Explain to them that you have allowed them to make their own choices and let them choose where they wanted to live.  I mean don't approach them over the phone however in person would be good!  Maybe they will really open up and let you know what is going on!  Teenagers are so hard I can only imagine what you must be going through!  Remember I am always here if you need to talk!  Call if you would like whenever!!!
