Well I got a response, as brief as possible, she called and left voice mail from her home phone at 7:30 to tell me 5D did not have school Friday and wanted to make sure I knew and what I was doing, "let me know". I was busy doing HW with 5D and really just didn't want to take the call them because I guess I was nervous. Besides good DB to wait and not be so available
At 8:30, I decide to return the call instead of a text message. I started by saying I had taken the day off and was taking 5D roller-skating and to the circus and stated we were doing HW and 5D class valentines and had muted phones and paused American Idol. I was starting to ramble a bit but then got my head on straight and heard a funny noise on her end and said, "what's that noise."
WAW says she is sanding the bathtub because of the person installing the tile on the walls just made a mess in the tub and ruined the porcelin. Slight 180 for me by saying, "I am so sorry, I don't even know what to do about that". She has said before I am so perfect and know everything. Anyhow, she said they make a kit for it. She then said, "you know how he 1/2 does stuff, he was in there shoveling the stuff out of the tub." she was definitely irked about that situation. I said "oh no, you still have to go to your grandmothers to bath now because of the tub." And she said "yeah, I didn't even want this, I came home one day to mother and 3 dudes working in the bathroom. Don't get me wrong I like it, it's ok, but" Then I said, "and they caught you during your busy week" And she was like "yeah, you just don't know how tired I was and wanting to just crawl in the bed at 9:30 and have 3 people in your bathroom until 11:30." I said I am so sorry.
Then, the unexpected...she said,"I got 5D's card today" in a voice that was definitely positive. Very surprised she acknowledged it and it caught me but I quickly said, "5D picked it out all by herself and I wish she was still up so you could talk to her." She said well she has been sick so that's good. Then I got a beep and we abruptly got off the phone. In retrospect, this was a good beep and time to get off because I was enjoying the conversation to much and it might have lasted too long otherwise.
It was really nice to find out that perhaps some of her mood may just be because of this bathroom mess. Also, it taught me that it's a bit arrogant to think that everytime she sees me that her mood is either positive or negative because of my presence. I just need to continue to be consistent and to not rock the boat. She has a busy week next week and I need to leave her alone unless she initiates contact...Regardless, very positive conversation...patience and consistency...
