OK.. so... interesting evening. I was to pick up D5 from kindergarten and take her to W's to watch the D's while she took her final. She would come home and we would pick our pictures from the recent picture taking at school and potentially talk. I was excited.
Get to W's and she's a little off.. I can tell something was bothering her. Before she left for school, she said "I need to ask you something.." Now.. stick with me, cause it's a little hard to follow... Evidently OM's EX W's new man told my W that I picked the girls up from school one day with another woman!!
WTF?? Not sure if it was an honest mistake, or if they are trying to stir up crap or what. I looked her dead in the eye and said "not true".. I didn't expand other than to say I thought it was funny that he would say something like that. I can picture W now running around asking everyone "Did you see Jarhead pick up the D's with another woman.. Did you see Jarhead pick up the D's with another woman?" Funny.
So.. W went to school to take her final. She was worried, but I told her I had faith in her and knew she would do well. Just being nice.
Observations while watching D's: 1. Picture of me and W while she was pregnant in Aruba is now gone. 2. Calendar (right by trash) states that OM's Xmas party is Saturday. 3. Calendar also has the 28th (our anniversary) all scribled out. It stated (W and Jarhead.. 6 year anniversary) 4. Little TMI, but she had a pile of clean laundry in the living room.. noticed some new undies and a pair I had gotten her that she NEVER wore for me.
Whatever.. life is good anyway!!
Get a text from W... MIL just told her she sold her mare. What a peach MIL is. W is taking a final she's worried about flunking and she couldn't wait to tell her tomorrow?
I texted "I'm sorry to hear that".. I also texted the peach message to W. She agreed.
W got home.. night was already ruined, so I offered her a hug. She took it and cried while I hugged her.
We sat on the couch.. I complimented her hair and her arms (she's been working out). At one point she actually laid her head in my lap.. I rubbed her head for the duration.. nearly 3 minutes before she got up and said "Sorry"
We got down to the pictures. I love the woman, but her math is just wrong. We argued (her meanly) about who should pay what. We apologized to each other. (very nice it was both ways)
Then we ran over some finance issues that have been coming up. I told her I was taking care of some things that would help me in the long run. She said "That would help us too".. meaning her and I. It was a nice sentiment.
She wanted to take a bath.. as I was leaving, OM called. I waved bye.
She texted me a moment later.. "Sorry about 2night"
I replied "Me too... I understand though"
There were other little things, but the night was good.. as much as it could've been.
She did say "Sorry this wasn't as much fun as we had hoped.. maybe we can try it again some other night"
I think things are coming around a little.. I'm still playing it cool and acting "as if" mostly because I'm sure the little alien will show up again.. also because I'm good. I'm looking down the road. It'd be nice if she was with me, but doesn't HAVE to be that way.
