More complicated than I imagined...

[Michael Mc C]

She finally did call when they were on their way home. I was out food shopping so I missed that call. About 30 minutes later, she called because they had gotten lost.

If she didn't have my daughters with her...

Anyway, we had 3 more phone calls (she was following someone else who, left to her own devices, would have had them in Canada by morning!!)

When they got home I made a point of telling the D's how much their brother and I missed them. I didn't exclude the W in that, I just didn't make as much of a big deal about HER homecoming as I did the D's.

We had dinner and talked about their trip. She had a really good time. She gave up some gossip (small town living is wonderful). Who is sleeping with whom, etc...

She mentioned that there are 2 couples in town getting a divorce. She remembered the first couples name but couldn't remember the second:

She: I can't remember who else...
Me : Was it the McCarthy's? <that's us!!!>
She: <with a grin and giggle> Noooo

All in all a pretty good night. She kept talking, which was nice, but I decided to get up and take care of a few other things (politely excusing myself of course).

Still not sure what to think. I sometimes feel like I'm hiding here, giving her space. I go to my office or bedroom and do what I would normally do - read, watch TV, journal on DB.com... It's just that in the past I would do these things in the same room with her. Unfortunately, that shared space is something that I think has her thinking I'm needy, like I'm looking for her to entertain me and keep me occupied.

That's it for now, good night everyone!
