It's almost quittin' time...and time to shift back into 'as if' gear.
H and I went to meet S12 at lunchtime at an event at his school today... an 'intercultural interlude' ... kids dressed in clothing from other countries/cultures. S12 was Scottish...had a kilt and a ponyhide pouch....and looked so adorable!
I was glad to be there for S12. Actually, kind of a funny aside about this. I had known for a while about this event and knew that S12 wanted me to be there; it occurred to me last evening that H didn't know about it, so I suggested it to S12 that he mention it to H...S12 was ambivalent about it (think he thought 2 parents coming was overkill), and i just told him I didn't want H to feel left out (I was actually pretty sure H had plans with OW today at lunch, and so wondered what his response would be) When S12 mentioned it, H was unsure about how much 'work' grading essays he had, so was noncommittal about it. S12 let him know it was okay (I really think he would have preferred just 1 parent going).
Well when H came back in to the house from his fabulously kitted- out office (at one point our garage efficiency)he had decided he should attend...i said I'm sure S12 would be fine if he couldn't, but H said how he felt guilty about not going because S12 was so nice about it (guilt much? ?) and, okay, so i snooped this am and read his email to OW about how S12 had asked him to come and really wanted his Dad to be there, and so H would have to cancel on lunch today...gag me...
Gosh, the day is gone...more to post later with some questions... but for now friends...
