After dropping the kids off on Saturday the 28th G said he had an interview on Tuesday and would like to have the kids that night (for the night). So he would pick them up from daycare that day. I agreed not giving much thought until Monday...
Apr 30 2:30pm Me: You're pickig the kids up from daycare tomorrow right?
Apr 30 2:53pm G: yep. I can't get them during nap time right?
Apr 30 2:53pm Me: Correct. After 1pm.
Apr 30 3:34pm Me again: Er... 2pm? The kids usually nap til 2. Do you have money to help pay for the extra daycare this week?
Apr 30 3:36pm G: I was thinking I'd keep them an extra day so there wouldn't be an extra charge.
Apr 30 3:37pm Me: You want them tues - thurs?
Apr 30 3:38 pm G: Yep. You can get them thrusday if you want to see the house or we could meet halfway?
Apr 30 3:55pm Me: OK. I will be sure to pack enough clothes. Let me think about the driving. Considering drive times and dinner.
Tuesday rolls around. G calls to ask why i didn't send T's backpack of clothes and his blankie to school. Ummm, I DID send them, DUH! If the teacher says they aren't there, it means the "lost" them. (When I drop the kids off in the morning I don't drop them off in there rooms, I drop them in the lunch room where they eat breakfast first.)
May 1 2:39pm G: they found them.
May 1 2:39pm Me: Good. Where?
May 1 2:40pm G: a big kids room. they mistook it for someone else's.
May 1 3:14pm Me: T had his doggie and monkey today. Did you get both of those with his backpack and blankie? \
May 1 3:19pm G: yes.
(The animals were with him in his room. How did they make it to his room and not the blankie or backpack?? Oh well, that is a question for the daycare.)
May 2 8:27am G: No panties for S?
May 2 8:29am Me: Ah crap. Nope guess not. They are pretty cheap at Walmart and then you can have some at your house just in case. I was also thinking you should get them swimsuits to keep at your house too.
May 2 8:30am G: I will get both.
May 2 9:28am G: what is S and T's hight and weight for the Mesa fire dept? they are installing seats for me.
May 2 9:30am Me: T 27 lbs (hight not pos) 36 inches? S 29 lbs (hight?) 38 inches?
May 2 10:07am G: thank you. They really emphasized having S buckeled in snuggely. if we both do it she will stop complaining. Who installed your seats?
May 2 10:10am Me: I did. I checked into the fire station but they said I had to come to a seat instilation "event" and they are always mid day durning the week.
May 2 10:13am G: that sucks. I got to make an appt in Mesa to do it whenever woked best for me. he kids got a red and 2 pink fire hats. the seats are in very tight.
May 2 10:14am Me: My big issue lately is both of them (T learned from S) pushing down the chest strap. I am thinking of pinning it in place. We have many arguments over it even though I tell the kids this is never an argument they will win.
May 2 10:17am G: S wasn't able to push hers down and T didn't try after the lady buckeled him in. He was fussing like crazy for me and I couldn't even get him bucled but he was nice and compliant for her.
May 2 10:38am Me: John C Lincoln does appts and I called for an appt.
May 2 10:39 G: awesome. Did they ask you to bring the kids?
May 2 10:39 Me: I left a message.
May 2 2:34pm G: do you buy bikini, brief, or boy short style undies for S?
May 2 3:50pm Me: brief
May 2 3:51pm Me again: and I don't let her wear 2 pice swimsuits unless the top piece is a rashguard (t shirt type)
May 2 6:47pm G: what are their normal bath days?
May 2 6:48pm Me: whatever days I get time
May 3 8:24am Me: I decided it would be better to see the house on a weekend. A 45 minute drive there then a 2 hour drive home just doesn't work on a weeknight. Can you drop the kids off at my work at 4?
May 3 8:26am G: 3 would save me a lot of traffic time but 4 will be okay
May 3 8:26am Me: 3 would be fine. Or 330 would be best.
May 3 8:32am G: 330 is what I will shoot for then. thanks.
May 3 11:37am G: do you let the kids watch Harry Potter?
May 3 11:37am Me: NO (are you freaking kidding me??)
May 3 3:44pm G: here.
When he dropped the kids off he told me his dad was in a car accident and he would be going to his dads the next week to help in his flower shop through Monther's Day since they are so busy. He didn't know when he would see the kids again.
May 4 12:08pm Me: were you wanting to see the kids before you leave town?
May 4 2:34pm G: I am working on my schedule.
Haven't heard from him since. I figure I will text him later in the week and ask him about money. I will try to time my text for when he is with his parents. ;-)
Well, at least this time it was civil. But he makes my head spin.
