I am going with the send the text crowd. Like Kat, do the fun stuff first. After you make sure it is not SD14's. Sometimes revenge can have an awful taste.

I just lost my very detailed post, and ya'll know how long it might have been.
Much shorter recap.
I beat her to the apartment and I left her toilet rim shiny and new. I also left a copy of D11's report card under the bag.
On the way to grandmas to leave off the girls, she leaves a VM because I ignored her call. Saying that she is on her way to the apartment and if I already got the girls. She is also going to get Juli's gift. I leave off the girls, get my gift for D6 and then call B. She had texted me twice and called twice while I was at the folks.
On the way to her apartment, the wife calls me again from her place. I listen to the VM because I ignored it. If I could have the girls call her. And thanks for the report card. She found it. At first listen, it sounded sarcastic. Listening to it again today, it was a nice voice. I know her sarcastic voice. The message was like nothing.
I call her back after a bit. I matter of factly inform her that the girls are at grandma's house spending the night and that I reminded D11 to call her. She said that she would call them over there. I said ok and said goodbye. She said goodbye, but very sad sounding.
I go to dinner with B. We go pick up K from one bar and head to Houlihans. We meet a lot of people. We see a girl that B and I talked about at dinner. Former coworker. Freaking coincidence. We make plans to all get together soon. At my place.
We end up sitting and talking to a couple that is on their first date. We all were talking, but at one point, she and I were talking. K kept announcing how she wanted to be with me, but I wouldn't let it happen. She was messing around.
In talking to the girl, we talked about a lot of stuff. How I'm separated, how the girls I was with are just good friends helping me, about my kids, about marriage. She talks a bit about herself and I guess that she is a teacher. I surprised her.
Ends up, in talking to her some more, she know my D11! She taught at our elementary school last year. She was not D11's teacher but she knows her well. She tells me how sweet D11 is and we talk about how she is taking things. I let her know that D11 made all A's and she was just as excited for her.
What a small world.
I was a good boy again, and go home alone, again. Stayed up too late, though.
At work, I have a quarantined email. From the wife's work email. Sent around 2:45 but I didn't get notice until 1:45am. I allow it and it is an email that was forwarded to her that she forwarded to me. A photo inside of the Vatican that shows a light image of an angel. Actual photo supposedly. Part of the email said,
In 8 minutes you will receive something you have long awaited.
Have faith. "
It has been a very odd last 24 hours.
I had called S14 on the way to grandmas and asked him if he had a travel bag. He thinks he remembers he did. Maybe like 5 months ago. I ask him about possible things that might have been in it. He can't answer. Maybe...doesn't remember. He remembers it maybe being black. But hasn't seen it in a while.
Slight chance, maybe. I may have to let him know that if he comes across it when he gets back, to not use the toothbrush.

Good Bye Girl. No longer SAYING she's moving out. GBG moved out 8-1-08
"I have now decided to enjoy life instead of figure it out."
I don't know what is going through the wife's mind. Like I said, when I listened to her last VM last night, I think I was EXPECTING sarcasm, so I heard it. Listening to it today, it wasn't. She sounded glad that I left her a copy.
Maybe the bag wasn't OM's. Just not sure. Knowing her, she would have called me on my sarcastic action.

"I have now decided to enjoy life instead of figure it out."
From our discussion on Thursday, to her referring someone to me, forwarding that email in the afternoon yesterday, calling to see if I contacted the client yet.
Her VM when she got off work, to the VM she left at 9:00pm asking to have the girls call her and thanking me for the report card. I left it under that travel bag in her bathroom. Right after, after talking to her very business like, voice sounded dejected when I spoke to her. I was all business and did not linger on the line.
What is she trying to do? After our discussion on Thursday, I had expected total darkness from HER.
Not going to worry about it. Even if the travel bag was not OM's, something led me to it and caused me to believe that it was. It just cemented how I already felt.
That I was dropping it. Business with her only.
Gonna have fun with my girls today. Then I HAVE to interact with the wife tomorrow for the party. See how that goes.

I guess I should have said that I need to stop thinking about it. It almost seems impossible in the quiet times.
She's perplexing. Like a case study.
There's been some contact between us today. I had to email her about things that we still need to get for D6's party. I didn't do it as a reply to her email to me. Just a very matter of fact statement and question. I have asked her a couple times already asking what else I can bring. My email said what I'll be getting today and if there is anything else we need. No courtesies.
No reply before I left work. Found out from my folks that she never called the girls at my parents house last night. Either too busy or a chicken sh*t. I think it was the latter. She was going to call them as soon as we got off the phone last night.
We had a little celebration for D6 at my folks house today for D6. Cake and ice cream. The wife calls. She is at Wallymart during a late lunch at 2:30. She asks if I got her email. I say no. She said that the things that I put in my email was fine. I said ok. I asked about the pinata and she said that she will look for it. She says she got D6 outfit already. Looking for D11 now and if we have looked through the Halloween stuff at home yet. I said that is going to happen today. She asked if we were at the apartment.
????
"Uh, no. We're still at my parents house. I am going to the store later." "Okay. Because I have her gift there."
BTW, HOOK 'EM HORNS BABY!!!!!!!!!
The girls decide that they want to stay longer at grandma's. I leave to go to the store and then go home to clean up and look through the Halloween stuff. On the highway, the wife calls again. She asks me if I can get some shredded cheese. She lets me know what she is purchasing. Condiments and stuff.
Okay?
She asks if I can bring the ice chest and I offer to also bring the ice. She has been pretty chipper, so far. I'm just short with her. I keep ending the calls.
At home, cleaning, washing clothes and dishes, and getting the Halloween stuff out of the shed, she calls me again from the apartment. Asks to talk to the girls. I tell her that I'm waiting for them to come home still. She asks me to have them call them. I say okay and say goodbye. She sounded disappointed.
The girls call me later and ask to spend the night again. I say ok. I remind D11 to call her mother. She says ok. I tell her to go ahead and just do it now in case she forgets. She says ok.
Like a nucklehead, I call the wife about 30 minutes later. About 8:30 now. I tell her that I had spoken to D11 and they will spend the night again and that I had reminded D11 to call her. She says she did call already and she is waiting for D6 to call her. As I try to end the conversation, she asks me what time I'm bringing the girls. I tell her after church. She says ok. I say bye. This conversation, she sounded a bit short towards me.
I had checked my emails at work from home. Her email probably got quaranteened again. No email. Maybe I'll see the notice to me by tomorrow.
Does work know that I am trying hard to not be in contact with her much, too?
Just contact about the party and the kids. Es todo.
Got some football in. Now watching LSU lose to Florida. Made myself some cross cut ribs and mashed potato's. Glass of wine. Maybe watch Baby Mama later.

"I have now decided to enjoy life instead of figure it out."
Getting ready to head out to take the girls back to the apartment. Having her little party today. The wife called earlier and I missed the call. She was seeing if I had picked up the girls from grandma's and if we were on our way to church. Said she was going to try my folks phone.
I called her back about 15 minutes later. No answer at home, so I tried the cell. She answered. I said, "Hey, whats up?"
"I called to talk to the girls", a smidge of bitter. I told her hold on and took the phone to the girls.
See how the day turns out.
Can't believe my baby is seven.
