Well! What a Thursday that was! I think I almost have things cleaned up around here, though there were a lot of chocolate stains.
Real life was much more mundane yesterday. W had some complaints about some of my parenting, I think she was right, and I tried to agree. I hope I succeeded. She's so used to hearing a defensive me, and I am so used to being one, that it is hard to tell! Then we had a disagreement on what was really needed for one of the science fair projects. I actually thought we needed more, where she thought less, which was kind of unusual. Then she stated what S13 had said was the goal for the project, and I backed down. I still think the stuff I wanted to include was useful, but I could agree enough to let it drop. Then I succeeded in helping make some nice charts that really showed his data well, so that was good. She had a twelve hour shift yesterday, and again today, so she went to bed early. As is becoming her habit, there was no real indication when, and no goodnight, at least to me. To that I am getting pretty good at thinking "whatever", though obviously I am still bothered, or you wouldn't be reading about it!
So, where am I going? I stil don't know. I still don't know that I can believe that things will ever be right. I guess the question I am asking myself now is, when is it time to tell her that she has to make a decision? And am I prepared for her answer? I think I am getting close to being prepared for the answer, which may tell me when it is time.
So, the bar is not fully restocked, so you might need to bring a bit extra with you when you come by. Somehow, there are always enough hugs, so there's no need to worry about that!
