Today was a pretty good day. Picked kids up from school and got there homework done before S7 had baseball game. My W met us at the park, I could tell she acted a little distant today, not sure why but I may have some type of idea. W came by my house to bring S7's baseball uniform as she was going to grocery store and meeting us at the park. Up until now, I have been using her vaccum clean as I have not bought one yet, well I bought one yesterday and had the box sitting in the living room where she came into to see the boys as they were watching tv. She didn't mention this to me but I have to wonder if this is why she acted the way she did. I am trying my best to seperate and not depend on her, things I have been doing up until this week I have worked hard to change, ex: vaccuum cleaner, hair cut, not asking for rides to ballpark, telling her I will take care of next weekend with her being gone and being more active at the park with others and in a happier mood.
We did have some good interaction tonight at the field, S7 is just funny to watch because he can't stand still and he is just a rocking back and forth to keep himself busy. We had a few laughs over this.
I also asked another mother who's sons play on both of my sons teams if she would be willing to give me a hand next weekend if I needed her since W will be out of town. I'm sure W thought I would retract from this but the other mother said she would help and my W got involved and told her it would be a huge help for us.
While I was typing this W called and left a message "my phone didn't ring for some reason" to call her, we have a problem. Well it turns out my S7 left his book here today and was afraid he would get in trouble tomorrow, I told her I would run it right over, she just hung up, again, I believe she is in one of those moods today. I ran book over and she acted much better, even told me to have a good night in a way that was not just saying that because it was the right thing to do. She may have already read the card I left her by this time, I don't know. I didn't mention it nor will I. She didn't either so we will let it be.
Well that is my day for interaction with W. To sum it up, she was not in a jolly mood but we still had laughs and she told me to have a good night. I will not see her tomorrow, but will on Saturday and Sunday as S10 has games this weekend.
I really appreciate everyone's advice on my thread, you are really helping me out.
GL, I took your advice on the anniversary card and only put in it what you told me I should. Didn't sign it with ILY, only my name. Thank you for all of your insight on this, you really know your stuff, please stick around my thread and keep pointing me what I need to be doing. Sometimes I am a slow learner but once I catch on I run with the flow. Just like getting on a birdie run on the course.
