Struggles with the Ex.

When I met my then-future-husband I had no idea what I was getting into where his ex-wife was concerned. This weekend has been nothing but a fiasco concerning the situation. So, before I get into how I feel regarding this whole mess, let me tell you what's been done, and as much as I can remember about what's been said.

Yesterday my husband (further called 'hubs') called the ex-wife and didn't reach her. So he left a voicemail saying that he's been sick, and would like to pick the kids up Saturday at 10 am rather than the usual Friday at 6pm time. The ex, not being able to reach us, called hubs' mother and told her that  hubs picked up the kids at the usual time or he forfeited his weekend. Mother couldn't reach us, so she emailed us. We finally reached home and saw the email and then hubs called the ex.

Now, I can't remember all of what was said, but it came down to the fact that the ex had plans for 10 am Sat. and didn't want to interrupt them for the switch. At one point I remember hubs saying plans change and asking her to either tell him a good time to pick them up in the morning or accomodate the 10am switch. She was unwilling to budge. Either Fri. at 6pm or not.

So, after much yellling on the phone, pigheadedness on both sides, and finally relenting on hub's side, we got the kids at 6pm Friday evening.

Now that I have all that out, I'm going to make a pt. 2 to this post later regarding my bipolarness and how all this makes me feel, hubs feel, and the kids feel.
