Scheduling Life

by The Momma

Walkway
My husband’s sisters want to get all the grandkids together to have a picture taken of them so we can give it to their parents for part of their Christmas present. I think it is a great idea and would make a beautiful picture, but…

You knew that but was coming, didn’t you. Here is where we hit a bit of a snag. Lately hubby’s ex hasn’t been sending all the kids on the weekends they are supposed to be with us. So it isn’t at all surprising for him to only come home with two or maybe three out of the four kids. Which absolutely sucks because it kills him when they don’t want to come. And as an ex-wife who always send all the kids I think it is complete and utter bullshit that she doesn’t. But that is another story entirely…

So we never know how many kids will be coming until he goes to pick them up. To further complicate things. My kids go with their dad every weekend because they want to and I’m nice like that, hehe. So in order for all our kids to be in the picture we have to wait til his all come and then try to figure out how to arrange it with my ex so that mine can be there. Ugh. Do you think any of this ever gets easier? I’m guessing no.

By the by, I know the picture is random. I took it this weekend on a little hike hubby and I went on.
