The Phone Call

*ring* *ring* Hello
Jennie: Hey do you have the Wiggles tablecloth I bought for Donnies birthday party last year.
Me: I dont know, I'd have to look
Jennie: Well look when you get home and let me know
Me: ok but I'm outta town this week, wont be back till Friday
Jennie: well that's too late I'll just buy another one *click*

Just a friendly reminder since she knows that I would never forget Donnie's birthday but she's probably not going to let me see him Saturday regardless. This is her form of torture and as much as it hurts me (which accomplishes goal #1), it also hurts the boys. It'll be a full two months since I've seen them this coming sunday. Two months since she yanked Shawn out of his own birthday party and said that I was a bad influence because he saw a picture of me kissing someone who wasn't his mother. We haven't been together as a couple in nearly 3 1/2 years now and somehow a 2 y/o seeing his father figure kissing someone else in a picture is far worse than seeing his mom with her myriad of boyfriends she's had over the last few years.

I tried to talk to her about a permanent custody arrangement but I'm sure if that were to happen, she'd feel like she'd lost some of her bargaining power over me. I was having a pretty decent day up to that phone call. Still, the phone call is something. I could hear donnie in the background going on about something or another and it lifted my spirits just to hear his voice. I'm sure shawn is dying to call me whenever mommie decides that I'm being nice to her again. I think that we're probably not too far away from that or she wouldn't call at all, unless she's sunk to an alltime low in her efforts to punish me for not wanting to be with her romantically. Makes you wonder why I'm not on my knees asking her to marry me huh?

When she's being rational, we have a great time together and we're like a big happy family but to an extent I guess maybe that's the problem. We have too much fun and then she starts thinking that maybe we could work again as a couple.

Well I guess since my day was effectively ruined, I might as well finish reading my book. Sleeping Beauty as a sex slave should probably be more interesting but nonetheless the book is decent.
