OK.. so today I changed tactics. Honestly.. not sure the "dark" thing was working all that well. I didn't like it and not sure it did me any good.
This morning I was cheerful and in a good mood when I brought D's in. W immediately responded "You look nice!!" "You too.."
Just a much better atmosphere.
So.. W calls at lunch and said she needed to talk. I was in a meeting, so it rolled. I called her back and she informs me that she talked to her L and wasn't comfortable with D's missing school on Wednesday. Not sure if I mentioned that, but I'm watching D's for W on Wednesday and possibly was going to take the day off with them. Not sure what I was going to do, so when W asks, I really had no idea. She was using "school" as the excuse, but it was really the fact that I didn't tell her where we were going (another woman).
Anyway.. that will come back to bite her in the butt. She said "We are joint parents and need to agree on things" Oh yeah.. that will come back.
So.. decided to take the high road.. I would rather be in a good mood than a bad one. In the midst of the day, multiple calls and texts from W.. when I didn't responde.. lots of follow up.
Called on my home from W after several calls/texts. Talked about nothing in general... although she did mention she has a UTI (barf). Actually led to a kidney infection.. she's worried about that.
What I really want... I really want to have a friendly relationship with her. Not a romantic one.. I want to be friendly and light around her.. because that's how I truly feel. I want to truly care less about what she's doing unless it relates to the D's. Can Santa bring that for me?
