I survived the weekend--I went to the dance recital and my wife and the OM came with his kids and my kids....the hardest part being that my D's didn't come sit with me. But who knows maybe my W told them to stay with her since it was her day. It was tough seeing him with her. None of my W's family sat with her and her mother was crying sitting behind me. It has been very tough on her too--I feel sorry for her but I can't do anything to help. The Baptism on Sunday went better. At first my W looked very upset(mad) when she came in. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that her family ignored her at the recital and that she invited all of them over to his house for cake and coffee after the Baptism and everyone had turned her down. I could tell she blames me for that. But I said sorry to hear that and left it at that. All three of my D's were aggravated and tired because they were last minute finding clothes to wear and had been arguing. But when we sat down (together) they loosened up and were smiling and laughing. I was glad that my W didn't bring the OM with her to the Baptism. My W actually shook my han during the mass. We sat next to eachother during the Baptism but she seemed a little uncomfortable (she seemed to angle her legs away from me)..But she sat next to me at the end of the aisle. During the service the preist metioned how you remember when your kids are born. And she leaned over and asked me if I could remember when the kids were born(time of day). I wasn't sure but I guessed both of the hours--she knew it to the minute. She was smiling so it was nice to see. But when the service was over she was inviting her family to go to Olive Garden..she didn't ask me (Even though I brought up the idea earlier in the week), but I figure OM would be there so I didn't say anything. On the way out to the cars she mentioned about closing out our cell phone plan since we are now under one plan.

So things haven't really changed but I did enjoy being with her at the Baptism and it went very well. The kids were great and I was very proud. So I survived the weekend. Next I have the Grad party--He'll be there but what can I do?
