Thanks for checking in on me everyone, I had a ok fathers day, kids are young, so its a constant taking care of them, each one wants something else to eat, cooked a big dinner, brats, chicken, corn and potato salad, young kids like mine really don't appreciate it. They are young so its ok, would have been nice if I had someone to cook for, and sit around afterwards to talk. Had little or no adult conversations on fathers day except at father-in-laws.
W showed up a her dads same time the kids and I showed up, she took S5 hand and walked in to her mom and dads house like nothing was wrong.
Kids and I went outside before bed and caught some lightning bugs, that was fun watching them run around the yard with smiles on their faces, no cares in the world.
When kids went to bed on fathers day, the house was a mess, so I cleaned the kitchen, and scrubbed out both bathrooms. Only thing W had to do when she came over Monday morning was some laundry
I didn't tell W pastor asked about her. she won't attend church anyway so he'll never see her.
Stuff continues to leave the house. contaners from the kitchen, her bike, plants, cookware, a couple bottles of wine. I'll be glad when stuff stops disapearing.
We got into a disagreement this morning about D9 she has several events that overlap and W decided which ones were more important. I called W from work because I knew she was upset I tried to make ammends, but got the I take care of the kids for 12 hours straight with no help speech, so I let her complain.
When I got home I was to take D9 to one of her events and she was to have a number of forms, when I called W to ask her where the forms were at, she had one with her and failed to fill out the other one. said she was sorry and that she has a hard time keeping everything straight becasue the kids drive her crazy.
I really don't want W around, she is off in her own little world, gets to be mom and runs off as soon as I get home to do what she wants at her place with OM.
Well "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" I hear whistling in my head. I'll find love again someday. I'm going to be happy, helpful, forgiving, patient and loving. I'm a stubborn old German.
We all have a long haul ahead of us, good or bad it's the path we choose in life that's important.
