For the guys with kids and a WAW

[hopeful4her]

Yesterday, finished the puppy pen, kids get home and getting ready to get to carnival in our small town. Call WW at about 6 to ask if she is going to meet us there and if she wants me to take her anything. After a few tries, I ask her if she is going to meet. Long pause. "Uuuhhhh." I say "You dont have to go, I was just wanting to know if you wanted anything from the house?" "Well, I'm in a skirt." Thats why I'm calling you. I'm still at the house." "Oh, then yeah, get my jeans and I'll meet you there. I'm talking to my boss and I'll be about another 20 minutes. I'll call when I get there." Goofball. At 7, we are at carnival, WW calls and says she has just left. I say wow, its late. I say ok, a little sarcasticaly and she says it right back. At 7:45, WW calls and says traffic into the carnival is terrible, no parking and traffic being directed to high school across street. Not going. Will go to grocery store and have pizza waiting for us when we get home.

Kids and I have a blast. I see the old friend who texted me for lunch a couple of weeks ago and hang with her and her kids for a while. We talk about her divorce and we talk about WW, whom she knows. Call WW at about 9:45 to tell her we are on the way home. No answer on cell and not answer at home. WTH. She better be at home and in the shower. Mind working OT. WW calls and were talking a bit. She mentions that she didn't see any missed calls. I said I called cell and house phone. Oh, I'm not home yet. Where are you, I ask? She tells me and I am actually in front of her going home. I tell her that I shouldn't have gotten the kids all excited about pizza at home. She apologized and said she gone to a clothing store and then to grocery. She had to buy a lot of extra food for an early meeting she was conducting at work in morning.

At home, sleepy head baths and bed. We put groceries away, I go outside to clean out ice chest she will need, she still makes a pizza and asks me if I'm hungry. We eat and talk on sofa. I talk us having a blast. D11 got on many of the scary rides and was so proud of herself. I was proud of her too. Conquered her fear. D6 had a blast. I ask about her day. She says she stayed late talking to boss about another boss. D's had asked earlier to sleep with mom, so they were in our bed. No room for mom now. I take D6 bed and WW takes sofa. Everything like nothing. Easy conversation.

This morning, I wake up WW early, she get ready and gathers stuff for her meeting. I help her load full ice chest. Later, I'm on her about time. She is wearing new beige pants from store. Shopaholic big time. I notice pants are a bit see through. I mention to have her keep her shirt down because she left tag on. She laughs. Later, she changes pants right in front of me to other new pair of black pants. I tell her those are better as I could see her thong in the other pair (Lord give me strength). She says they were too big anyway. Normal morning, I am on her about time again. I have to stop that. I know it bugs the crap out of her. It is one of her pet peaves, but if it wasn't for me, everyone would be late. I have to stop rushing everyone in the morning. I offered to make lunch. No, thank you. I hope it is because she'll have too much left over food from the morning meeting.

I can hope, can't I.
