They got you pretty good with that Mother's Day tea scheme. That is so nice to hear. It gave me a smile.
I got to spend some real quality time with my DD14 today. At first I was hesitant to head over to get together with her. She was having a slightly rough day and as a result she actually solicited me to come and hang out with her (mainly cuz W has not been responding to her repeated calls). I was sure glad I did. We did some Hallmark and flower shopping for tomorrow. And we grabbed a Subway sandwich (which she is always in the mood for). She also wanted me to take her to a jeweler so that we could craft our own "firestone" bead necklace. She got 4 beads representing the colors of the birthstones for each member of our cozy little family .. me, her, W & her D. It is so good to get to spend time with her. She had as rotten of a childhood as one could possibly have but she has a heart of gold that did not get messed with.
In reference to the advice you were seeking B, I think you should not alter the date of the maternity tour at all. He is so used to having you make things right after his repeated screw ups. Continue to show him a new Blindsided1 by forcing him to handle his own business and problems. We will see what others have to say but that is how I would approach it.
