I'm the lucky one ST!

Haven't talked to my wife since Sat, she sent me a txt msg about noon yesterday with:

Wife: "Sup"
Me: "Working like a mad man & pulling out the rest of my hair in the process. How about u? Did u get Sat off for the game?"
Wife: "Are you going to fly here?"
Me: "Not sure. Once I know about Sat I will figure out the rest"
Wife: "I'll let you know soon have a good one"
Me: "K. U 2"

So I waited and waited, mistaking "I'll let you know soon" as meaning something. I need to know if I'm going this weekend to see her since I need to make plans, get tickets, decide if I'm driving or flying, get my mom home, plus one of my kid's friends wants to come here. If I drive I can take my mom home and bring the friend back, that will save about $1000 in airline flights and cost me $200 maybe in gas and about 16 hrs of driving round trip. Anyhow my mom is waiting to see what I'm going to do so she'll know how she is getting home, I'm waiting for my wife to either step up or tell me she'd rather me not come.

Today I got this txt msg:
Wife: "Just take me to a game there"
Me: "K"
Wife: "What u doing making millions"
Me: "Yup"
Wife: "What's wrong"
Me: "Just a little disappointed but that is my fault. I will be fine"
Wife: "Did your team lose?"
Me: "Softball team?"
Wife: "Ya"
Me: "Don't know if they won or not while I was gone"
Wife: "Do you play when I'm there?"
Me: "Nope season is over. Mid July is our championship tournment"
Wife: "K ttul"

So now I can plan around the fact she doesn't want me to come this weekend. That means buying a flight home for my mom and a flight here for S13's friend, about $500, but saves me from buying baseball tickets and flights for me to go see my wife. Found her an anniversary card yesterday that wasn't full of "you're the best" or "thanks for loving me" or all the other stuff I can't tell her anymore. It is a kind of light hearted card, didn't seem to say anything too bad, have to figure out if I'm just sending the card or anything with it and get it in the mail today or tomorrow so it'll be there by Fri/Sat.

Going to IC today with my mom, again tomorrow too. Took apart the riding lawn mower to fix and sharpen the blades, ended up breaking off 2 bolts that were seized up, so that turned into a bigger project than I thought, still isn't fixed, but S15 and I spent some quality time together working on it. His GF is back in town so he'll be distracted now and it will be back to me and S13 on a daily basis. Brought S13 to work with me today, he is bored already after 30 mins and it looking for a ride home, funny, yesterday home was boring and now he has a list of 5-6 things he could be doing at home instead of stuck here at work with me. \:\)
