On Saturday, August 20 (yesterday), A* worked from 7-4, and then attended our friend's wedding until late at night. Although the invitation appears to have been sent for the whole family, A* told me that I had not been invited and that he could not take J because "kids were not invited because they couldn't afford food for everybody" or something like that. Clearly, he just did not want to bring J along, however, he chose to lie about the reason for not bringing him. I asked him to give that to me in writing, so I can disprove it later, if necessary. He lies often, which definitely illustrates the quality of his moral character. Without proof, though, it will be his word against mine (he will deny ever lying about anything--another lie).
So, I had planned to take J to Coldwater or Sanford Lake for a fun (and cheap) day out, but it was thunder storming most of the day. We ended up hanging out around the house, playing, and cleaning in the morning (dishes, taking out the trash, sorting J's toys, cleaning floors). Had cereal and sausage/egg/cheese sandwiches for breakfast and pb&j pancakes for lunch. In the afternoon, I took him to McDonalds to play in the indoor play-place, since I had promised him on Friday that I would (he never forgets a promise). After a couple hours there, we went to Chipp-A-Water Park and went for a hike on the Adventure Trail. We practically bumped into a deer and stood and stared at each other for a couple minutes. J thought it was cool. By the time we finished our hike and returned home, it was 8:15. Gave J a snack and a bath, and then read him a story and went to bed.
It is still overcast today, but I'd like to take J out to do something fun.
