For the Guy with Kids and a WW4

[hopeful4her]

Never got a reply email, yesterday. Got a call from WW as I was about 5 minutes for home.

She also asks, "What do you mean throw a dog a bone?", a little serious.

Sheesh.

I explain to her that I meant for her to refer one of the many loan clients that she talks to on a daily basis.

Now she is laughing. I ask her, "What did you think I meant?"
She says she didn't know. I call her a dirty minded girl. She says, "Noooo".

She say she just left work. I ask if it was a crazy day. It was late. She was just finishing some paperwork since she is off today. I tell her that I told D's that I wanted to go out to eat. I'll get them ready.

At home, I am enjoying my short time with D's before WW gets home. D11 is on computer trying to search the internet on how to become a mermaid. Wants to put a spell on D6 to become a mermaid. They are so funny. D6 says she thinks she already feels a scale growing on her leg! I'm cracking up and agreeing with her. I'm on my bed facing the foot of the bed talking to them. WW get home and lays next to me and we talk to D's together. Nice.

We change and head out. D's want seafood. I love seafood. WW hates seafood. We never have seafood. I choose Joes Crabshack. Today, we are having seafood. At restraunt, we sit outside on patio next to a huge outdoor play area full of sand. Kids are having a blast. S14 is with his dad this weekend. A sore spot with WW right now. Not his weekend.

WW and I order a beer. D11 and I share a bucket of crab, shrimp.. a boil bucket. D11 loves it. First time having crab. WW has a burger and D6 has popcorn shrimp. Great atmosphere. Kind of place I used to hang out in with friends before I got married. I start to tell stories of my past. I remeber when I used to do this or that. D's just taking it in. They go play.

WW and I are both coloring on papers. I keep trying to engage WW in convo, but not too much success. How was your day? Did you have lunch with MIL today? How is she? Few word answers. She asks if S14 has said anything about his moving in with his father come this summer. I say no. I ask her the same question. She says no. I tell her that I wish that I could talk him out of leaving. She says that he has made up his mind. I tell her that it won't last. He'll see that it will not be better at his dad house and he'll come back.

She has that distant look, again.

Ok, no more questions. I'll talk about what I want to talk about. I tell her about the friend that contacted me. I talk about going to see him soon. I talk about my day. She doesn't seem to interested, so I get up and tell her I'm going to be with the girls if she wants to join. She says she is going to go steal a smoke first.

I am playing with the girls. We are the only ones out there. I slide down the slide. I never would have done this stuff before. Always been too serious. WW comes and starts to take pictures of girls. She even takes a picture of me sitting on the railing(I was trying to look cool to her. Did she notice?). We leave and hit video store and grocery store before heading home(again!).

When we leave the video store, there is a display of free mags. Auto sales, current periodicals, apartment locators, kids mags. I know this is where WW gets her Apartment locator books. As I am holding the door, I see her looking at the display. She then reaches for a mag!

Oh no she didn't just reach and grab an apartment locator book in front of me! WTF!

It was a free kid mag. I laughed to myself on how stupid I am.

On the way home, they all fall asleep.

I can only hope that she is thinking.
