Mood:  not sure

   Again this year I can tell already that the ex is going to be a stick in the mud for her kids this Christmas. Each year I hope she will get over her self righteous vanity.  Each year I wish the ex and I would try to be friends for the kids. This year like last, my ex gave me a birthday card. This year like last I threw it away without reading it. I hate false attempts at friendship. Getting along for the kids is the best it will get. She may put on her blinders but she knows that I can't and won't be friends with the kind of people who would write bad about me on the world wide web.

   Sorry kids. I hope your mom gets over it.
