Where did their Mom go?

I am just finishing another wonderful weekend with my kids. We had a great birthday party yesterday for my daughter, she had 7 guests, plus her 2 brothers, and everyone had a blast. I couldn't stop smiling as I watched them play. Today wasn't quite as much fun for the kids, we did chores around the house, a necessary evil, but still good things for my kids to learn. We went to the mall this afternoon, did some shopping, and stopped at Taco Johns for supper on the way home. I love to spend time with my kids, and even doing housework is fun when they are around. Although I was surrounded by this joy and fun all weekend, I was also filled with terrible heartache as I saw these other parents having parties for their kids. Kid's deserve both parents in their lives, mom and dad, as a married couple. My ex didn't even call the kids this weekend. She finally left a message on our home machine Sunday evening saying how she was thinking of them; I wonder if this was the only time all weekend she had, and, if she was indeed thinking of them, why didn't she call my, or my daughters cell phone? I wish I knew where my kids' mom went, and why.
