I haven't had much of a MD yet. Linz is gone, Mike is napping and Larry is sleeping. I told him I'd like to go to outback tonight.
So I read my book, ate a bagel and some strawberries and here I am.

For those that don't know about my unique relationship with the x, I don't even know how to begin to describe it except to say that I have earnestly and deliberately tried to live out the love of Christ in respect to him...
Two facts:
1) My daughter is a nicer, kinder, more generous and more loving person than any of the adults around her.
2) The x has a live-in gf with whom my kids were forced into relationship with. She is a very nice person who is good to my kids but who, of course, has her own parenting philosophy and whose own children, I should mention, will have nothing to do with her. Therefore, my kids reap all of her parenting inclinations.
Sorry, 3 facts...
No matter how I sound on here when I'm venting, my children never hear me say a bad thing about their dad or his gf. I teach them to respect her and treat her kindly.
So, one day last week the GirlChild asks me if *we* should get something for gf. (Keep in mind that I do pay for the kids to get their dad and gf Christmas and birthday gifts, etc. On the other hand, the GirlChild pays for any gifts for me herself.) At her suggestion, I was silent for several moments because none of the responses that came to mind were ones I wanted to verbalize. 
However, it means a whole lot to the GirlChild to be generous with people and gift them when the opportunity presents itself. She feels bad for gf because she'll have to spend Mother's Day without her own children and wanted to do something for her.
On Friday, the GirlChild was busy working so *I* purchased a card for my kids to give gf (and a very nice card it was, if I do say so myself), then I took the GirlChild to get a plant for her grandmother and for gf. In the meantime, the GirlChild expresses her frustration because when she asked her dad to take her shopping so that she could get something for me ~ with her own money! ~ gf pipes up and tells her that instead of wasting the gas to do that, the Girlchild should just make me something. MY POOR KID! 
So, on top of having her breakfast for me "ruined" she also has nothing but a homemade gift certificate to give me. That, of course, is fine with me but she feels really bad about it. 
Still more to come...
