Things continue to go well for you, that's great. What's up with a 19yo having to be home by 10? You need to find a new babysitter, for sure! My W and I are fortunate to have family nearby and lots of teenage girls in the neighborhood, so finding babysitting for a night out is usually not a problem. Arranging this 2 day trip to Vegas, though, was a struggle.
I'm still going back and forth about the cellphone confrontation. About half the time I'm satisfied that it's the right thing to do, and the other half I think that I should wait until July.
I'm trying to notice the little things that my W does to try to improve things between us. Yesterday, she called twice from work. Not real long calls, but as long as she can reasonably have from work, and she was chatty and pleasant. She often doesn't call at all, or just makes a perfunctory call, so that was nice. Actually, she called a third time just as she was leaving, just to let me know that she would be on time. That was nice (even if she was probably talking on the cellphone to the OG all the way home, grrrr). I had heated the spa, and we went for a dip after she got home. It was a short night, though - she had to get up early today to work again.
Tomorrow we're going to get up early to go jet-skiing and have a picnic at a local lake with the boys. Usually we get together with my extended family - parents, brother, and 2 sisters, and their families for Fathers Day and to celebrate June birthdays. But I just wanted to spend the time alone with my W and kids. I think my dad was a little surprised when I told him we wouldn't be joining the party; we almost always go to family get-togethers.
I'd like to think that my W might surprise me with some special gift for Fathers Day. I wonder if she knows that the best gift of all would cost her nothing. Just 3 little words.
