Dear Lord... please give me patience...

Julianne's dad is driving me nuts... he's not doing anything that bad, but he is so flaky sometimes I can't stand it!  Saturday night we talked about how he really wanted to take Julianne overnight Sunday night and keep her all day Monday. Now that she's had some good visits with him, I'm all for letting her spend time with him, even extended periods of time, but I still haven't left her overnight and I don't think I'm ready for that yet. So he kept pushing me and I told him I would think about it and let him know in the morning. Well, he texted me at the crack of dawn Sunday morning telling me how he went grocery shopping and has all this great food for her and got a playpen for her to sleep in, etc. I didn't text him back right away and he started to get pushy again, telling me he really wanted her to start staying at his house and it was time he got to spend more time with her, etc. So I finally told him I wasn't ready to let her go overnight yet, but we would shoot for next weekend. So he seemed to be okay with that. Then this morning he texted me before I was even out of bed to ask if he could pick her up from the sitter and keep her for the day. I told him I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon so he had to bring her back to my school by 3:30, and he said he'd just bring her to my house later, after my appointment. So I said okay, rushed around getting extra clothes, juice, toys, snacks, diapers and stuff for her and was really late getting out the door for work. Then I'm halfway to work (running about 15 minutes behind, mind you) and he texts me again to say he'll just wait and take her next week because he doesn't feel like driving all the way to my apartment tonight during rush hour. So my car is strewn with all of her extra stuff, I'm fifteen minutes beind schedule, I'm trying to keep the schedule straight as to what day he's going to take her, and my glasses are STILL broken from when Julianne broke the arm off yesterday.
