I think she wants to be friends

[sleeper]

I took kids to her this AM to leave on their trip. Again she said I could come down and bring my mother. I was wearing sunglasses and she commented, "I can't see you eyes" (having trouble reading me?).

She mentioned concerns about finding the way on her own (I always drove the years we went together) and she couldn't find a map, asked if I would keep my cell on so she could call if she "need help." I responded, "You could stop and buy a map." OM was at house when I dropped kids off. I also asked if he couldn't help her.

Yes there is major cake-eating taking place.

This deal about bringing my mother still has me rattled (we never took her and she has never been there). Does it mean:

1. She would really like me to go and would even accept my mother there if it meant I would come?

2. She's goading me about my mother (whom she used to despise)?

Ego boost; I got asked out by a younger (than me or x-W) woman less than an hour after I dropped kids off.

I accepted.

Last year I sat around and was depressed while they were gone. I'm not allowing myself to do that this year.
