Definately NOT The Fridge!

Just got email from Drac.

Ladybugs coach emailed today with the rescheduled rainout dates for her last games. The last is during Drac's week when he is out of town.

He'd made arrangements during that week for Ladybugs to be at his Mom's one night and his Aunt's the other. As I had agreed to help out the DSS, I asked to have her the same & then to take her to the Aunt's house.

He said NO.

Welllllllllllll now he thinks it would be best for her not to miss those ballgames and that she could stay with me. He even offered to have her go to the daycare he takes her to that week, "it is already paid for".

AND

He offered to pick her up from daycare today and get her ready for the game tonight since he has her uniform at his house.

WTF??

lordy lordy, you couldn't have picked a better nite to bring a "date" to the game.

Drac's world starts spinning tonight...

Any bets on tomorrow's emails?? (keep in mind its risky to bet against BUGS! just ask MCD!)

Bugsy:

Two weeks ago, he was at HappyHoHouse.

This week, it's bleak and maybe I can attract Bugsy back.

SSSOOO, you are no longer the cause of global warming.

And you CAN see ladybugs just a litle bit more.. "Because, I'm really a NICE GUY!" See!

And then tonight....

Well, look how HELPFUL he is being!

Get all the time you can with Ladybugs and DSS. Pick your DD up and have him bring the uniform. Hae her change before the game. Ignore him after that.

The sniffing he is doing is embrassasing. If he wasn't so TRANSPARENT, and tragic, it would be funny.

Please copy that Plan B letter before you go to the game.

Please tell us if "coffee" beats Drac to a pulp tonight however....

It's really not funny, because this is real life and all, but it's so predictable, it's funny.

The 'surprise' part is the fact that it happened so fast.

For years I have been the world's biggest loser when it comes to gambling of any sort. Do you suppose my luck is changing?

We shall see.

I don't know about the emails tomorrow, nor about if this will 'spin' Drac's world. I'm still a bit of a skeptic on that.

And, keep in mind that if I am taking care of Ladybugs, that then includes my taking care of DSS, too. Less for Drac to take care of when he can rely on Bugs.

So,,,,,,,it's not him wanting me in any way. It IS right now, more about using me to his advantage. This is what I need to be aware of and the reason to stick to the dark side.

right?

LG,

We were crossing over on our posts.

Already DONE!! That was my exact reply to him!

I may still have one around here somewhere,,,,my printer is out of ink so I can't print one off the computer.

Don't count on that. His style would be more like walking up to Drac, looking straight down at him from above, sticking out his hand, shaking hands (tightly), smiling, and introducing himself, then just walking away with a laugh and a smile.

Hmmm....I'll throw my fortune telling hat into the ring.

My guess would be that you WILL get emails tomorrow.

Angry, blaming, frustrated emails.

Possible change of plans for DD and DSS in spending that "extra" time with you.

He'll come back around....but MCD will throw Drac for a loop. While in the back of his mind, Drac "thinks" Bugs moving on his possible, he will not like seeing it as a REALITY.

Silly girl....

Go back a few posts. He's not going to ask you on a date.
He's wayyyyy to sneaky and ashamed of himself to do that.

Its going to be subtle. He's going to use the kids to open communication...
Being more forthcoming on info about DSS.
Giving you more time and access with DSS.
Being more chatty and involved with kids.

Sound familiar yet?

Oooh, I like that.

Strong and confident, with a possible implied threat......


Poor Dracy...........or not.

Ahhhh, confidence is a beautiful thing, ain't it?

Bugsy, I never could see, while in the midst of things, how PWC followed the wayward script. It's still hard to see, because I'm so close to it. After reading some previous posts, remembering what I can about the past three years (can you say Post Traumatic Stress?), and looking at our path, I'd say the script exists. LG and Lexxxy are speaking to you from experience.

Lexxxy and LG called it, and I have to believe them. This turnaround was probably no faster than they've seen in the past.

Question is, is it really worth you making any EXTRA effort to draw him back? I would have to say no, not without some show of him recognizing the error of his ways. Without that, you are swimming into DRAC infested water.

Do you suppose that Drac will believe the "we're just friends" line?

This may be a beautiful moment of irony for him.

Absolutely! As long as "arrogance" is no where to be seen.

A man TRULY confident - is not arrogant.

Irony,,,,,do you think that will even occur to him? Doubtful.

Yes, oh wise one! You and LG have called it. Yes, I am silly I suppose. I guess I am much as SL posted about herself -

It's really not all that fast when you think in terms of the time from the first DDay, but it seems like lightening speed from the demise of HappyHoHouse.

Don't they make some kind of repellant for that?

Oh yea,,,, It's called Plan B.

If things progress along this path, I'd call the Harleys for a consult and a plan.
