So.....

We got home last night and Douglas was on the answering machine again. This time, inviting us out to dinner. They'll be in our area, bringing his girl friend's youngest son to his father, and wanted to get together so we can chat. So, we called him back to accept. Then, I handed the phone to Katie so she could talk to him. First thing she did (after all the "how are you's" were done) was ask him why he didn't try to contact us before now. His reply was the only phone number he had was my mom's from when we lived in the trailer park and he didn't know we had moved, so he didn't know if the phone number still worked. Are you feeling this is a weak excuse, too?? Mind you, in our court order (which we haven't followed since May of 2000), it states that if either of us move more than 100 miles away, we need to contact each other. Since I never moved 100 miles away, I never bothered to tell him. AND, since his actions from May of 2000 indicated that he wanted nothing to do with Katie, I also didn't bother. Was that the right thing to do?? No, probably not. However, it's all over and done with. Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of "As The Stomach Churns".....
