Grrrrrs kids are coming TODAY!!! Im still nervous about it, but more excited at this point than anything else. And you know whats weird? You know how Im totally stressing out about meeting Grrrrs ex-wife? I think shes stressing waaaaay worse than I am.
See, this morning while getting ready for work I noticed a couple of bumps/blemishes on my cheek, and I said something out loud like, Oh great breaking out.
And Grrrrrr said, Its because youre stressing!! You know, [ex-wife] told me that she broke out so badly on Saturday that she had to go to the emergency room! [Daughter] took one look at her and started crying! Its because you are all so nervous about the whole thing!
And I hate to say it, but hearing that made me breathe a little sigh of relief about the whole thing. Not that Im happy she broke out, but that Im not the only one whos freaking to the point of physical distress. I even felt a twinge of compassion for her. At least the playing field feels a little more level and I have home-court advantageespecially with visitors coming in from out of the country!
Grrrrr has ordered a limo to pick them up. Can you believe it? I made the kids Easter baskets and stuffed them full of little toys and candy so that they will have a nice little sugar buzz going. We are going to spoil those kids like crazy for the next couple of weeks! And Im actually hoping that Ill make two new almost-friends in the ex and her husband. Im not really holding my breath, but I can either choose to be fine about the whole thing or I can be a freak. Im tired of being a freak, so Im choosing the former.
I may or may not have time to check in now and then. Im leaving the office at 3 so that I can ride with them (and dont think for a second that were not going to be drinking champagne in that limo—okay, sparkling grape juice for the kids!). Wish me luck!! At the very least I have the excuse of coming in to work here at the office if things get completely out of hand at home.
I cant believe this day is here!
