Yesterday was the final day of bowling league for my son, so even though it wasn't my weekend with the kids, I went. The ex's g/f had to take the kids because he had to go to the office to do some work. Me, my daughter, and the g/f sat at the table and watched the boys bowl and talked.

Then I headed out to spend some "me" time and go shopping and out for lunch. (No whining from any kids that they're bored, fighting for front-seat position, or not wanting to eat where I want to eat. Yay!)

My daughter needed an outfit to wear today. I said I'd run her dress shoes over so they didn't have to try and find shoes too. Then my daughter calls me to tell me to bring her Chuck's and a razor, and that the g/f asked if I could pick up a can of cream of mushroom soup because she didn't have any. OK, no problem. She called back later to say nevermind on the soup, since they'd be in town this morning before she needed it anyway.

OK, weirdness hasn't set it YET.

I get home about 7:00, grab my daughter's shoes, and head to the ex's. I figured it'd be a drop off and run sort of thing. The g/f saw the new shoes I had on and made me come in the house so she could get a good look at them and wanted to know about my shopping day (we share a love of bargain hunting).

I ended up staying for 2 hours while she and the kids and I hung out in the kitchen and had drinks and snacks. The ex kind of made himself scarce until I'd been there so long that he couldn't stand being hidden away from everyone, so he finally joined the crowd. LOL

So I'm going to end up with Easter dinner leftovers, and the g/f, her sister, me and maybe their cousin are all going to go out some night when the ex has the kids, so I can get ouf the house with some other people for a change.

I've been such an absolute beotch the past couple of years due to the g/f and some of her lame-brained actions, but she's one of those people you just can't help liking the more you get around her. She has this thing about nicely annoying the hell out of people until they give in to her offers to do something with her. Ay yi yi! I've been sucked in.

And me and my suspiciousness, I can't assume she's just one of those perpetually NICE people (because the ex and the kids have said otherwise), I have to wonder what her ulterior motives are.
