Well, my day off was not very productive. I did some laundry, had a nap, went to McPukes and had a salad for lunch. That's pretty much it so far. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I had a long talk with the he-ex tonight. He hasn't changed a bit. I still love the things that I loved about him and hate the things that I hated about him. I wish that someone could get through to him. That person is obviously not me. I just want him to be happy - especially for the kids sake. There is a seriously wrong role reversal when the kids are worried about and protecting the parent. I asked him how I could help. I didn't get an answer.

The she-ex asked Hubby to do her taxes for her. He told her that he couldn't give her an answer without talking to me first. When he said that, she withdrew the request. I told Hubby that I don't mind him doing them for her as long as it's not taking away from "our time" together. With her new pleasant attitude, I don't mind if he goes over there to paint the house or even mow the lawn as long as I know that I'm his first priority. So, basically, I gave him my permission. I don't think that he's going to do it though, which makes me think that I'm going to look like the bitch. The up-side is that now, at least she knows who's boss. ;-)
