Going Home

Not Cool. Time with my parents always fly by. Oh, how do they say? Time flies when you have fun. We did not travel that much as the previous trip but we spent a lot of time TOGETHER.

The only different this time was that I was getting back to kids and what seemed like future partner/friend. My Mom said I was happy leaving them this time. Obviously, to miss them but still, happy.

Initially, after about 10 days being there, I did not hear a word from Jimmy. Not how you got to your parents, not how your vacation is going. NONE. Then, all of a sudden, he contacted me and asked me to come back home earlier. may be a couple days. He said after I was gone, he realized how much he missed me. He wanted me to come back sooner. Ummm. Tickets were paid for, we had our plans. I see my parents so rare that I would take any additional day I can with them.

However, as always, it had to be Jimmy's way or no any other way. It made him mad when I said no and it made me sad that he did what he did - he took iTouched away from the kids so they could not talk to me. I was devastated. I did have fun with parents but I missed the kids badly. iTouches were the only way for me to talk to them and it was taken away from 3 of us.

On the way home in the train he kept calling/texting me to see if we would try more. If not, then I could not come into the house. It was ridiculous. They all were in DC getting ready for the baseball game and I was coming home to the empty house. As always, it put me in defensive mood where, again, as always, I was scared. Of not seeing the kids, of him yelling at me. Of everything.

Ruchi picked me up at the train station and funny thing? I forgot password to my car to get the key for the house. I always kept spare car and house key inside of my car. I forgot the password. I was out only for 2 weeks. I got the key from Jimmy's mom. It was nice being home but this home changed a lot while I was gone. They got ceiling patched, walls painted and new brown carpet put in. Did not look like the house I remembered.

Next day I went to work and when kids got home and I was on the way home, they both came out and waited for me outside. I got so many hugs and kisses! We all were super happy until Jimmy started complaining that he should have gotten attention before the kids since he was the spouse. ??? No, kids come first. He threw another fit and it was another last straw after taking kids iPods away and threatening me in the train. I was done.
