Well, things have been very quiet on the OW front in my house lately. Not any more...
Yesterday we went over to IL's house for dinner. We're all at the table, eating dinner and the phone rings. MIL says to FIL, don't get it, it's probably a sales call. So they let it ring, answering machine picks up and no message was left. A minute later the phone rings again. This time FIL says to MIL, maybe it's your mother. (My grandmother IL is in her 90s.)
So MIL gets up to get the phone. By the time she gets to it, the machine picked up and someone was leaving a message. MIL looks at the caller ID, turns around and comes back to the table b!tching that it was a wrong number, someone by the name of 'xxx xxxx'. The name caught my attention and I said, who did you say it was? She repeated the name.
The name on caller ID was H of OW. Which means OW was calling from her house, trying to reach my H. I looked incredulously at my H, who is is looking at me with this "oh sh!t" look on his face, and asked him if she knew we were here. He said yes. My mind was reeling. I could not believe it. She was calling IL's house!!! He got up to check it out, then tried to call her back. I'm sitting there thinking can't this wait until we're done dinner?! D14 was sitting there also looking stunned. IL's wanted to know who it was. I just said someone he knows. I should have told them who it was because they know he had an A, and they know OWs first name. But since it was her H's name on caller ID, they probably didn't put 2 and 2 together. But my reaction certainly should have told them.
H came back from checking out the message and asked me or D14 for a cell phone. (He didn't have his with him last night. I guess OW was so desperate to reach him, she got IL's number out of the phone book.) D14 graciously gave him hers. Then he went outside and called OW back. After dinner he listened to the message on the machine twice. I saw him put his coat on, which indicated he was going out to call her again, and I cynically asked him if it couldn't wait till we get home.
When we left, as soon we were in the car (not caring if D14 was there), I immediately asked him what the h3ll that was about. She's calling you at your parents house! WTH! And why did you have to call her back TWICE! He apologized. He said she'd been drinking. He said she lied about calling. She said it was her H calling cause he had a car related question. Stupid idiot left a message on the machine. That's why he listened to the message, to listen to the voice. It was her. I could tell it was her.
Needless to say, things were icy in my house last night, and still are. I guess it's been quiet for too long. Lord, I want that woman out of my life...
