New Thread, new life, new happiness

[HopefultotheEnd]

While I am a turbulent pot boiling with all sorts of emotions on the inside I feel pretty happy on the outside.

W called me from Vegas today. She wanted to check in on the home front??? Ok, So I said things were great...and asked if she was having a good time. She answered, "Not so much." I asked and she said she didn't want to get into it right then so I said no problem and that I was sorry that things weren't going well. I could tell that she had been crying.

I told her some good news about D9, and some fun things that the kids and I have been up to. She seemed to want to talk a little more so I asked if she was ok. She said that she doesn't think she wants to be friends with one of the girls she went with (the b-day girl) because she was being a raving B. I said, "I'm sorry that sucks." and told her she could tell me about it later if she wants. She said she would.

She asked about work, I answered happily that I was going with the flow and that I wasn't going to let any of the work stress get me down. I asked about to her itinerary and when her flight out was tomorrow.

She mentioned she should get going. So I wished her well for the remainder of her trip and told her to go do something fun. (Not sure if this was too much like advice or not but, it just flowed as part of my goodbye.)

So I feel as if I was given a huge opportunity to Show her that I am pretty happy these days. There are a few areas where I think I could have validated a little bit more but all in all I think I listened effectively. I was surprised when she called.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I company all day and I'm not sure if she's going to want to come see the girls or not.
