This morning I had my third ultrasound. I had the first one because I had placenta previa. Something about the the placenta being under the sac that holds the baby. Today they said it looks good. It is clearing up on its own. I am very glad of that. Apparently at 28 weeks if it hasn't cleared up you go on strict bed rest and if it hasn't cleared up by delivery you have to have a c-section. I am not smart enough to have been even remotely concerned. Like it was never a possibility or something, I don’t know. I avoid things until I have to deal with them. It's a great coping method - I know.

Anyhow this has nothing to do with my post today; my post today is about something much worse. It's about K’s dad never showing up to get her. She stayed home today because she was sick. I called him t

his morning and left a message at 9:30 to let him know to pick her up at home. K is never sick; she never has to stay home from school. She woke up this morning, laid on the couch and didn't move all day. Around 3:00 she said that she wanted to go to his house, I called his Dad to let him know that if he was coming to pick her up she was sick and to pick her up at home. He said her dad was coming to pick her up. He should be at school at 3:30 that is when she gets out. Every other Tuesday he has her overnight. So 3:30 came and went, she kept asking "where's my Dad?" "I'm sure he'll be here soon honey," checking the clock then the window. Finally I called him again and left another message. Then after another 20 minutes went by I called his dad again. He hadn't heard from him. He said he would call him and call me back. Waited a little longer then his Mom calls and says "B just checked his messages and is running a little late at work, he asked me to come and get her." All righty I said, there was nothing else to say there is nothing I can do about it. I am tied by court tape. I am so ticked. He will not return my calls. He hasn't called me back in about a year. If I called and said that there was a life threatening emergency he wouldn't call back. I am sick of him calling his mom to rescue him. I am also sick of her lying line of crap. She is so full of it. Yet I have to remain social for K's sake. Then she comes up to me in front of about twenty people and asks if she can have K for a b-day party. I was under pressure and said yes. Stupid me. I asked K whose baby’s party it is, she has no ideal. Furthermore there is no way he had just checked his messages, what he just didn't show up to get her from school and realized over an hour later that he forgot? I think it's more like he got the messages and choose not to call but knew that I'd be there so it would be fine to disregard the rules of politeness. What to do, what to say if and when I ever get a chance to speak to him again. Any Ideals?
