You are here

Almost, but not quite alone...

Overwhelmed in Texas's picture

So, summer visitation is over and the ex- finally is back on her visitation schedule. Just an fyi, we have custody of the kids cause she is such a mess she lost custody.

Anyway, so it starts out a mess as usual, she forgot to pick them up from school. School calls and they finally find her and she gets the girls. They are with her alllllll weekend! Unless she kicks one out, which is a regular occurence.

Soooo, my three sons call me at various times during the afternoon and inform me they have plans tonight....all going to be gone for the evening...his girls gone, my boys gone... a night alone! Yeepee! We get to be HOME all alone with no kids! Naked picnic and movies in the living room, my favorite!

So I call husband all excited, that we get a night alone and he reminds me that stepson (19) who is here for the summer doesn't like staying at his mom's and will be home with us tonight....

I watch my evening slowly crash and burn like the Hindenberg!

I guess we could go out, but I was really looking forward to just being home alone....I never get to be in my own home without at least 1 kid anymore ;(
