Drama

I made a third trip to Georgia this past weekend.  It was wonderful!!  One of my Army girls texted me Monday last week saying that she was traveling to GA and that she already had a hotel and if I could make it, I could stay with her.  I immediately went into travel mode.  I talked to my husband and rented a car and booked a hotel for a few nights (I stayed the 1st night with her, but got my own room for the rest of the time).

The hard part was finding sitters for the boys.  I got my friend to watch the boys for the first two days.  Then I asked my ex to take the boys Saturday afternoon, all day Sunday, and keep them Sunday night and bring them to school Monday morning.  He said no.  Ok, I talked to some more friends.  Finally I thought of my neighbors.  They jumped on the idea.  They have been wanting to spend time with the boys, so it was a great idea.  And being that they live right next door, it would have been very easy to just give them a key and let them get whatever they needed from my condo.

I had it all set up, then my ex starts his shit.  He just knew I wouldn't let him see the boys because it was Father's Day.  He knew I'd try to keep them from him.  Apparently he missed the part where I asked him to take them. . .

Finally, he decided to take them.  My neighbors were heart broken, but they'll have their chance.

Ok, so I leave for GA.  I made the trip on autopilot.  I've made this drive so many times already it is like nothing.

It was so nice seeing my Army girls again!  But it was even nicer to see my husband.  :)

He had to report back on post Thursday night, but I got to keep him with me from Friday morning until I left on Sunday.  It was bliss.  Friday we stayed in Columbus.  Saturday we drove to the outskirts of Atlanta and went to Stone Mountain.  Stone Mountain is beautiful!!  Sunday we went to the Chattahoochee River Walk, which is a pathway along the Chattahoochee River.  It was also very nice, but soooo hot and humid!  We were both soaked with sweat when we left.

During the weekend, there was a problem with my boys at the babysitters house.  Their father had to go pick them up one day early (Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon).  He blew a gasket.  He called me threatening me, telling me he was going to report me for abandoning my children.  He told me he wasn't going to let me take them back, that he was going to file the paperwork on Monday for custody of them.

He is all bark and no bite.  I've learned to just ignore his threats.  On my trip back home on Sunday, I texted him when I was about 2 1/2 hours away telling him I'd be there to pick up the boys because I was getting home earlier than I had originally planned.  Then I texted him again 10 minutes before I arrived at his place.  I expected him to cause a scene considering he told me he wasn't letting me have the children back.  But when I got there he had them all packed up and ready to go.  LOL, yup, he is all threats, but never carries anything out.

Anyway, that is my past week in a nutshell.  Of course I'm leaving out details, but hey, you don't need to know every single little detail, right?  :)

Goodnight all.  Thank you for reading.
