Our daughters birthday party went exceptionally well! The she-ex was kind, made eye contact and talked to me as if we were friends. She thanked me more than once for my help (not that I did much). Her best friend even chatted with me briefly. The sister and her "spouse" still gave me the cold shoulder, but I'm not complaining. There was a mystery guest at the party. A man named Tom. He didn't have any children with him and was helping the she-ex quite a bit. Emily says that he's "mommys friend." I think mommy's friend is the reason that things have been so good lately. He even seemed like a good guy. There is peace in the world again. Should make my blogs less interesting though...Now I've got nobody to bitch about.

If you are within my inner circle, ask me next time you talk to me about the death threat and the kids most memorable march break moment.
