PT-LawMom

Got an unexpected phone call this morning. The caller ID flashed “Unknown.” I was late for work and itching to run back into my room for one last goodbye kiss with Blue Eyes before he headed off to pre-op for another procedure and possible surgery tomorrow. Still, for some reason I decided to hit Talk and see who was calling. You guessed it, Chapin. Per my normal course of action, I immediately handed the phone to Pumpkinhead and raced to the bathroom to finish my hair and makeup. A few minutes later I hear, “Okay, Papa, I’m going to pass you back to Mommy now.” Hmmm.

[Below in Spanish]
“[Pt-LawMom]? How are you?”
“Fine. What’s up?”
“I wanted to tell you that I’m going to call you this weekend and ask you to call Taca and reinstate my plane ticket so that I can return to the U.S. next weekend.”
“Hmm. Okay, I will make that call. I should remind you that you will need to find somewhere to live because I’ve leased out the house.” [I told him this before I did it so he already knew]
“How many rooms did you rent?” [LMAO]
“The whole house is leased for six months. None of your things are there.”
“Oh…. Well can you call around and find me a cheap hotel room for a few days while I look for an apartment.” [ROFL - tears now from the hilarity of this conversation]
“No. You can find one when you get here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll talk to you when you’re ready to book a ticket.”
“Okay, bye.”

I’ll believe it when I see it. But that is the latest news from Chapin. I will not breathe a word to Pumpkinhead until Chapin’s ass is in the plane seat. Grrr. In the meantime, I’m going to live my life. In the immortal words of the Dixie Chicks, ” He pushed me around, now I’m drawing the line. He lived his life, now I’m gonna go live mine. I’m sick of wasting my time. Well, now, I’ve been good for way too long. Found my red dress and I’m gonna throw it on. I’ve got nothing to lose and nothing to gain. About to get too far gone. Praise the lord and pass the ammunition! Need a little but more of my twelve-ounce nutrition. One more helping of what Ive been having. I’m taking my turn on the sin wagon.”
