" Yesterday was the last day of school here. I officially have a sixth grader and a third grader now. Where did the time go? We have a week and a half between the end of school, and the start of summer camp, so Peter and I agreed to split the days up. He&amp;#039;s now got the kids till next Tuesday, and I take them next Wednesday through the rest of that week. I was pleased that we managed to work that out without any issues or conflicts. Until today, anyway. Anna texted me first thing this morning to let me know that Peter isn&amp;#039;t taking any days off work, and that she and her brother are at Peter&amp;#039;s house in the care of an older, disabled relative of Peter&amp;#039;s. It would have been nice to know that. I&amp;#039;m not too thrilled with the arrangement, to be honest. At least Anna is old enough now to call 911 in an emergency, which is good because the relative is an easily flustered sort. Mostly it means that they&amp;#039;re trapped in the new house, not able to go anywhere, not knowing anyone around, and bored out of their minds for these four weekdays. I feel bad for them. Maddie isn&amp;#039;t even around to play with because she spends weekdays with her Dad. If Peter had let me know that this was his plan, I could have arranged another day or two off, maybe, or perhaps I could have seen if a neighbor could pinch hit for me and watch the kids. At least then they would have somewhere to play and kids to play with. Instead, they&amp;#039;ll be watching TV all day, and eating grilled cheese sandwiches every day for lunch because that&amp;#039;s all their babysitter knows how to make. They&amp;#039;re not going to die from it, certainly, but they&amp;#039;re also not liking this much. Am I out of line in thinking he should have let me know this? Or should I keep my big nose out of it because it&amp;#039;s his house and he gets to decide? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
