The 13th-16th I drove with Boston up to Fargo, ND. Jon's 8 year old daughter, Madison, lives up there and his parents live 40 miles north of that. Since the whole Christmas thing was a blow up, and I had promised Madison she would get to see Boston this winter, and since their father...well, we'll cut that sentence short...I took MY weekend off and MY bonus check and made the trip up there just so M could see B. And also, I suppose, for Jon's parents to see B too. 7-8 hour trip with a 16 month old...wasn't as bad as I thought. He did pretty well. We got there a little later then I had hoped and I had planned on taking the kids to dinner, instead we hit up McDonalds (ick). Then we got back in the car again and drove another hour to their grandparents house. It was an uncomfortable situation to begin with and there were a few comments that made me wanna snap but...I was the bigger person. It wasn't about me...it was about the kids, and Boston getting to spend time with his other grandparents. After B got somewhat comfortable around them and was ready for bed, I snuck out. I drove BACK to Fargo alone, and got a hotel room for myself. Lovely. I missed Boston the second I walked out of their house. So I knew it was going to be a long weekend. :*(
Went out with Jon's ex wife for a while Friday night. That was fun. Learned many new, helpful things that will help on my end here soon. She's not the evil bitch he makes her out to be. I'm sure he's probably putting that same crap in everyone's head about me too. I don't care though....cuz the people he's telling this to are degenerates anyways.
Saturday I was feeling the effects of Friday night. I called and asked how Boston's night went and if I could maybe pick up the kids and go to lunch with them or something. I was told no. This lonely, heart wrenching trip just kept getting worse. So, I eventually got up and went shopping. Did nothing really all day, ordered pizza and somehow fell asleep that night. Oh, wait. I did have a HUGE argument with Jon over the phone...which will also help MY end. Then after getting all riled up, I somehow fell asleep.
Couldn't WAIT to get up and get everything packed and ready to go get my baby and Madison and leave that God awful town. Had to wait tho...I was told they were going to have lunch after church. So 1pm was when I was planning on arriving there. Once again...I drove and hour up to get the kids and and hour back to Fargo, dropped off Madison <3 and started on our way home. Boston wasn't quite as cooperative as he was on the way there but he napped and then it was bed time a couple hours later so he slept more this time.
Oh yea, I had gotten Jon's mom a present from Boston for Christmas and I was out shopping while I was there because I needed to find one for his step dad. I also printed off a bunch of pictures for them. After the way I was treated I debated on even giving them anything. BUT...I was the bigger person, once again.
This bigger person stuff is wearing me out!
