The Ways of a Controlling Person
Mood:  happy
Hi Readers,






I had to show you something. Just when I thought my ex couldn't find a stronger way to assert her ersatz control, she does. Though my daughters are with their mom right now, I'm picking up my oldest girl Saturday to go see a high school musical with me. The musical starts at 8:00. My ex has planned a dinner which ends right at the latest time (7:15), I could pick up my daughter and get us to the musical on time. I complained that 7:15 is hardly enough time to get to the musical on time. She says it is.

To justify her point she sent me this email...

Though I haven't been to Providence High School, I did, since you said 45 minutes would not be enough time to drive from here to there, check yahoo maps and according to them, it should take you 14 minutes to get from my house to Providence High School. Which more closely jives with my recollection of how long it takes to get from here to Clarksville.

I'm not sure what route you were considering, but here's the page to give you a better route. As such 7:15 should be fine. That gives you 30 EXTRA minutes to get there in case of traffic or time to park, etc.

What takes it over the edge is she went to yahoo maps and researched the route and time it would to get to our destination. She linked the route to me. I can't show the link because it starts at her house and who knows, one of my friendly readers may be tempted to write her a not nice letter.

Talk about controlling

She must have spent a few good minutes typing the email to me and looking up the yahoo map route. Darn it Matty, I could have used those few extra minutes to get us to the musical on time

Everything else is good. The Baronette is well. I've been doing some side computer work. A little extra money helps.

That's it for now. Take care,
