Just a quick update. W called me this morning to ask me to pass on to the kids that she wouldn't be stopping by today as she has to work much earlier than normal and to ask how I wanted her to proceed with respect to D12's school registration. I told her that I would like her to go and talk to them that way there would be no accusation that I screwed things up and that I would pursue other options in case things fall through with her getting registered in the school district where W lives. She gave good advice for how to stretch my lower back which has been bothering me for a couple of weeks and while I've been studying lifting and stretching for 25 years, I just listened to her and tried to make her feel that I appreciated her input. I didn't say anything about her camping trip this weekend and we ended things a nice friendly conversation.
One thing that I remembered from last night, W asked the kids if we went to church and they replied that I was too tired. Yes, I was tired which tends to happen when you go to sleep at 0400 after a night out on the town. W asked me about being to tired and I felt like she was wanting to know what I was up to, but, I just blamed it on my back etc. I didn't mention that I went out and had my Mom come and stay with the kids. So, I guess I'm learning to detach. Sadly, I still have to make a mental effort to not check her bank records, cell phone records and e-mail. What I mean is that every time I go to those web sites, I find my fingers wanting to automatically type her login credentials. I have however, not snooped since. I wouldn't say that it's getting easier, but, it isn't any harder than any other day.
