Well, I think I officially go grey on January 8th. I'll actually try to post again before then.
Just finished the last of the wrapping. It turns out my ex has a holiday party to go to tomorrow so she doesn't want my son until evening. While I am glad that I will get to do the first night of Hanukka with him (she has him the rest of the week... Oh the irony - she isn't jewish you see- ) I am also amazed that she would rather go to a party than spend part of Christmas day with her only child. No, on second thought I am not amazed at all. This is now her standard operating procedure. It does, however, piss me off.
I had made plans to get together with a single mom friend of mine who will be spending her first full week away from her boys since her ex left three years ago. I know she will understand why I agreed to keep him longer even though I had promised that time to her. It isn't having to change those plans that is making me angry. It is my ex-wife's lack of interest in spending time with her child.
Honestly I could give a flying fuck if she ever sees him again. I would be thrilled to take him full time. I know, though, that he loves her and misses her. The whole reason we went to 50/50 custody was because he wanted to see more of her. ( He was visiting her on weekends for the first 6 months of the separation... well not counting the first month when she was just gone).
I'm doing everything I can to make this a good Christmas for him. It was kind of a drag having to buy presents for myself from Santa so he wouldn't wonder why I didn't have any. At least I don't have to explain why I don't have any Hannuka gifts.
He and I actually talked about how daddy needs a girlfriend the other night. He wasn't too keen on the idea but he understood. He's such an awesome little guy. Lonliness sucks. Happy freakin holidays.
[added 5:30 pm] Well, we got to do Hannuka. He kept saying "I'm half jewish so I get more presents". I didn't mention that even 1/4 jewish was enough to get you sent to Buchenwald. Sorry I'm in a crappy mood now. Dropped him off at his mom's and my "holiday friend" isn't answering her phone. As we pulled up he griped that Brian (The BF) was spending Christmas with them. A little schadenfreud at my son's expence for me. At least there is tangible evidence that his mom is screwing up when I hear comments like that. Anyone got a box I can put my heart in until I need it? Because it is definitely feeling ripped out right now.
