1. Imagine that you left your cell phone at home. You would go get it but its a 27 minute drive through a treacherous canyon and as much as you love your cell phone and feel naked with out you wisely decide its not worth the gas you would waste to go get. Unfortunately the only phone number you have memorized is your own and now you need to talk to The BF (who is home from work) because your paranoid and don't know if you left your phone plugged in charging or if you dropped it outside the house and you really want him to go check for you. Luckily you are friends with The Ex-Wife and know where she works so you call her to get his cell number. She may laugh at you but she gives you the number and now she has something funny to post on Facebook.

| Crazy hair for crazy hair day!!! |
2. Only she will understand the importance of the following text
- Me to Her: Doesn't matter as long as its orange....she's making me crazy. Tomorrow is crazy hair day (oh yea) Tuesday is western Day (good thing u r from Wyoming) Wednesday is pajama day (she wants me to wash her pink pjs so she can wear them) Thursday is crazy sock day (I told her to wear mismatched socks) Friday is rainbow day (the1st graders wear orange)....why did you teach her to read.
And by being friends you can embrace the fact that one of you is good at creating cute hair styles (me) and don't feel bad when the little one wants one of you to do her hair for crazy hair day.
Love the hair! Visiting from SITS comment section (you were above me) - just finished your post about your grandparents - loved it!! I'm sort of glad Alpha's ex and others are in another state! Then I don't have to be nice, smile!!
ReplyDeleteWe were friends before I started dating The BF. So it makes it easy to be friends now.
ReplyDeleteThe irony of life isn't it? LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the way you did her hair!
ReplyDeleteIts good that you are on good terms with the ex wife!

No idea why it posted anonymous when I put name/url lol
Thank you. She loves getting all girly.
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that you're friendly. What a positive relationship you're modeling for your step-daughter (I think, I'm a new reader). And I'm sure it provides an abundance of funny FB statuses.
ReplyDeleteOK, I laughed out loud, but then I also had to sit back and admire the relationship you have with the ex. All kids of divorce would be SO much better off if everyone could just get along. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Its not always easy at different moments we have all made each other crazy but I do believe that it creates some consistency for the kids and as a child of divorce myself I know the importance of that.
ReplyDeleteIt's me! The ex-wife!!! I laughed my butt off at this and that you had to call me for your own bf's number. But I'm glad for our relationship too. You make it easy to get along with the ex cause you speak his language (I clearly don't). I love we get along. It is so awesome for the kids...except when they wanna play us against each other which doesn't work..hahahaha. Then all us adults get to laugh! Thanks for being awesome to my kids! You're the best and I hate doing hair so win/win!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I *tolerate* Ex1's new wife (even though she is almost young enough to be my daughter *cough*) but we don't necessarily like each other. But she and I are constantly texting back and forth to arrange stuff like this, mainly because he can't figure out texting. And I'd rather text than talk to either one of them.
ReplyDeleteDid I just say that out loud?
:)

Wow! That is quite a crazy hair and wardrobe schedule you have to prepare for.
ReplyDeleteIt does make it easier that we were friends before I ever meet The BF. And its Red Ribbon week the schools do all sorts of crazy stuff to encourage the kiddos to stay Drug Free.
