My EW has 3 days off including tommorrow, but doe she take the kids for anytime ? Barely. She picked them up last nite at 6:00 and brought them home at 11:30 this morning. I guess she can only feed them 1 meal !!!!!<P>She had the conference about my behavior at her workplace at 1:00, so far no word. My son just called to say goodnite as he isn't feeling good and of course she wasn't home.<P>She has no plans to see them tommorrow either as she is going to stop in when we are at church tommorroqw nite and drop their gifts off. She is coming Christmas morning to open gifts with the kids. I didn't get her anything and I don't imangine she got me anything as she didn't really for my birthday either. She stay a few hours I guess and then we plan on leaving for my mothers around noon. I think I can retain my cool for a few hours on Christmas morning !<P><BR>I guess at least she is keeping the kids away from the om, thats the only good part in this!<BR>------------------<BR>"You can't always get what you want!

RWD,<P>At least she will come over and open presents on Christmas Day. My H won't. He will be in town and OW came from FL to spend several days here and he won't even come over to spend a few minutes with the family.<P>I can't understand not wanting to spend some time with the family - kids and grandkids, even if he wants to not see me. They don't know yet and of course are gonna be devastated.....<P>Roll Me Away<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>
