W came over at lunchtime, bringing food for D13 who is still sick. She put a load of D13's clothes in the laundry also.
While she was hanging around, she was looking through photos of D17 when she was 1 year old because we can pay for a 'tribute' in her senior yearbook.
We get to put in a photo and 30 words or less. So she asked me for ideas. I said we should each come up with 15 word tributes.
It has to be turned in friday morning and as I was walking away she said 'Be sure to remind me tomorrow night to give you my tribute or I'll forget'. I just didn't say anything. A few minutes later she left.
Being mean? I don't think so. Why would she expect me to remind her to do something for her daughter? Why does she even say these things?
Fig, when I say she "wants to be divorced" I mean that she wants to "act divorced" but not actually file. Even though "Divorce Frank" is on her "To Do List" in her notebook.
why would she want to file when she can still play married too?
When I was a little girl I always pretended my barbies were nurses during vietnam it was fun to play that but i never wanted to be a nurse unless it was during vietnam
clearly I couldn't be that but it didn't stop me from playing it
you can't let yourself be a peg in her game Frank you are acting like my uncles poor gi joes with the torn off limbs who were the casualties.
filing is work frank don't convince yourself it is anything different right now
Yeah, Sarah Palin tore Obama apart. And she didn't stutter, or say 'uh' 100 times like he does.
I would have liked to hear her speech - I forgot my headphones during my workout at the YMCA and only got to watch. She was the one I wanted as the VP pick several months ago. This sure would be a much more interesting time following politics if I weren't going through a divorce.
As the evening is coming to an end I feel like I've given this all to God to manage from now on. I really do.
I got to rub my D13's back at bedtime because I'm here, I'm Dad.
When D17 came home she came home to me. She said 'good night Daddy'.
Mom's not here, and she's missing out on these moments. Family, this is what matters. Like AmyC said a while back, 'connections you can never recreate again'. I get it.
