Today was horrible. It started off ok - I got up and instead of tooling around on the internet surfing baseball and gadgets, I took the dogs on a nice walk.
We got out iPhones yesterday, and I didn't get a chance to work on them until very late last night. Mine activated with the wrong phone number. So I waited until this morning to call AT&T, because, well they were closed for the night. I did call and they got me all straight - it took about an hour but then it was done. I then got Frances to dive but she needed a permission slip and I guess I didn't do that, so Nancy was already mad at me when I got back.
She was pissed off because she had not had much luck in getting her iphone working, so after she went to go watch Frances (she doesn't usually go, but I guess she was trying to make a point about something, but it was lost on me - maybe I am a bad father because I was working from home, not taking the day off?).
I got her iPhone all synched up and even bought her a case at Best Buy. She was still mad. She came back and glowered at me as she told me it was my fault the printer cartridge was ruined by light. I distinctly remember that when we brought it in, after she had taken it out of the printer and put it in the car, and the office max person told us that exposure to light could hurt the outer section of the cartridge - which should have been left in the printer, and only the inner cartridge should have been brought in. Her response was "yeah I know this, but I was just too lazy". Shit happens, and I wasn't mad or anything, about it, but when she blamed me for it, I was just too stupefied to respond.
I noticed the house was getting hotter and hotter, and when I looked outside, the fan in the outside ac unit was not moving even though the inside unit was working away. I called the ac people and thankfully they came out right away. 250 dollars and 8 hours later, and the unit is still pumping away trying to cool us down. I hope nothing else is broken in it.
So, Also today, my life with Verizon is over. Comcast installed cable internet, phone, and tv. we now are away from verizon in all parts - including cell phone. I was tired of being bent over a table by them with hidden fees and crappy customer service.
Nancy got pissed off at me again because I told a LaLeche league person that Nancy was gone for a few minutes and would call her back later. I guess she didn't ever want to call this person back. That's fine, I don't know if she ever returns LaLeche league calls. But to be mad at me for taking a message? I was really confused.
The worst happened at dinner. Nancy was supposed to be gone at (guess what?) a tennis tournament in town, but it was cancelled due to rain. So she comes home looking for what is for dinner. I am making chicken for the kids and me and there was enough for her. She brought up Frances taking piano, which, when she was taking it, she didn't practice, and she doesn't play now. We have just made a budget in which we are under water every month. It does include some funny money for each of us (the adults) each month, and I said that we had budgeted a large expense already for Frances (ballet which is 1500 per year plus costumes), so if she wanted Frances to take piano, it would have to come out of our fun money fund. This pissed her off, and we fought again.
I called the divorce mediator. Hpefully we can work this out as painlessly for the kids as possible. I know I'll get the "husband's prize" of paying half my income, and not seeing my children but 4 days a month, but maybe it's best for them.
but hey I am down to 255! nothing like depression to help with weight loss!
