A,
I start work with Cox Communications Monday, June 4th.  My schedule while I am in training will be M-F 8-5 for approximately 8 weeks.  After that I will be assigned to a team and get another schedule.  I was thinking I could get the kids from day care every other Friday and take them to day care the following Monday morning during this time period.  What would you like to schedule for next week?  When do you want to start the every other weekend rotation?  I was thinking I would have the kids next week for 2-3 nights then Friday June 8th through the 11th.  I will resume paying child support as soon as I get my first pay check.

That sounds fine. And actually works well with their swim lessons so they wont end up missing any classes. And they start and end at the same time too. What days do you want next week? Maybe Tuesday thru Friday? That way it isn't so long inbetween seeing them? And are you not going to take them for 1 night during the week?You could pick them up from swim class, have dinner and then take them to daycare the next morning.
Where are you dropping them off today? here at my work at 330? Or at daycare?

May 23 9:24am G: I will drop off the kids to you this afternoon at DR. I was thinking of letting them play in the splash pad there. What time?
May 23 9:42am Me: I will meet you at the splash pad at 330.

May 23 3:29pm Me: Where are you?
**They arrived about 5 minutes later, late. We all sat and watched them for a while making idle chit chat. When we left I told g/f congrats and walked away. She started to say thank you but it drifted off. I wish I could have seen the looks on hers and G's face. But I had walked off already. ;-) LOL

Next week I will pick up the kids Tuesday from daycare and return them to you Friday afternoon.   Keeping the kids out of daycare an extra day this week and next should offset the extra cost you incurred while I was out of town visiting my dad.  Does that work for you?

That works fine.
 We need to discuss how you will be paying for the extra daycare this summer since it is not included in your child support.
