Circumstances: He's been out of the house three weeks although 90% of his trash is still here.

Triumph: Finally getting all his cr*p out of the guest room. Now it is sparkling clean and habitable.

Challenge: Well, there are tons, of course, but the stomach churner ... last night the girls called him to say goodnight and he wasn't home, so we called his cell phone (BIG mistake, right?). He was clearly at some meat market type event -- huge crowd -- looking for the new chick. Oh gag me!!!

I felt so bad my girls had to talk with him under those circumstances. My eldest kept asking him where he was; he refused to tell her.

Ok, I will never call his cell phone at bedtime again -- we leave a message on the answering machine at home, I guess.

Comment: It is so ironic. The night before was his night with the kids (here at my place) so, what did *I* do -- went to "Let's dish" and made meals for my family; even was nice enough to offer him a couple for his freezer for when the girls go to his place! Oh geesh!

Ah me ... learning to deal with divorce ... dad is dating (gag).

Interesting, though, is that he answered his cell.... knowing full well it could be the kids... and that they could ask him where he was.


I say..... good for you for putting him on the spot!
