Well, I am staying at my best friend, Billie's for the weekend. Me and the kids are having a great time. We made a lot of food and we are going to have lots of leftovers. My friend travis, Neptune from my friend's list, decided to come along too...I did not know if he was going to be able to make it because I thought he had to work...it was good that he came though.
Anyhow, I had forgot to let my ex know that me and the kids were going to be out of town so since I did have his home phone#, I decided to call him a little after 6pm.
Usually, Sammy likes to talk on the phone but I guess this time she was not up for it. And as usual, Jake does not like to talk on the phone. I wonder how I can fix this a bit...like I said, maybe the web cam thing will work out still.
Anyhow, I get on here and look at my ex's mumms; heck after voting and commenting on their picture for the contest for "kids contest", and seeing their comments and votes, I thought okay well maybe things are'nt so bad afterall...was trying to send some kindness towards their way instead of being the mean person that they always think I am. So then I decided what was up on their page and then I check out a recent mumm....WOWWOW.
I did not believe that my ex's new wife was trying to ask about getting a restraing order on me just because the kids do not like to talk on the phone with their daddy...Off and on, the kids will talk to their father, but it would be more my little sammy who is two would talk...my son who is four, Jake, just does not want to talk on the phone and what these people do not understand more or less get it thru their heads is that Jake is this way with every phone call; he will not even talk to me on the phone when I call from work, heck, he wont even talk to my own sister either.
Big deal if it happens like this all of the time. Kids are not all alike. So the phone call was not even 2 min long, at least they did get to hear his voice to some point and each and every time he calls. But since the call did not last very long with the kids, me and my ex just said or goodbyes with no more conversations between us...well, like it is all of the time it seems.
Granted I know I never call him and have him call all of the time but now that this is happening I am totally shocked that this would even be thought of in the first place. Getting a restraining order on me just because the kids do not like to talk to their father. Hmmmmm, well dont ya think that after not calling for almost a whole month the kids may not know what to think in the first place? And they expect for the kids to be very talkative none the less on the phones...they expect too much at this point. And it is rediculous.
Oh, and the biggest news I heard yesturday was from my sister. Her hubby is also in the army and so he saw the Army Times and saw my ex's name on the list for E-6s to be pinned on June 1st or around there....so in a sense, they will not be crying for too long with money matters. I have also heard that the new wife is getting a possible new job that will bring in at least 40grand a year...all of this is suppose to be good news for once. I am happy for them. And I am happy with my standings now. I am not too happy that my ex's new wifey is trying to come in between the relationship of the kids and their father. OH, but I guess that is just a lie too. Unless, my ex wants to set up a web cam session with the kids at some point then we can talk good father/child relationships.
Being that their father is in the military, things are not going to be the same, though. The travels are going to be long and at some point very expensive. And for the most part the best thing to do now it to stay in contact some how. The calls may not be soo good but Im sure that web cam chatts may be just fine. The kids love to see themselves on the computer and they always ask questions about who the other party is. Now they have only had just one web cam session with the kids in my possesion. Then after that session, it was I who had gotten to see them with their father on the cam...but the way things are going, I am starting to believe that I will not see that sight again.
Anyhow, besides all of the drama that keeps coming and going...this weekend was great and the kids had a lot of fun; especially with Billie's new baby kitten that is just three weeks old and her dog named Skeeter that is just sooo cute and sweet. I took a pic of Jake holding the baby kitten in his lap and I cant wait to post the pic. I was really amazed that Jake was soo gentle with the baby kitten...now, sammy was still kind of young to realize how she must treat babie animals but she was trying at least. Well, hope you all had a pleasant weekend, though.
