For the Guy with Kids and a WW Diez y Seis

[hopeful4her]

I would make one crappy monk. Each passing day, I take as another day I held out and did the right thing. It's painful, though. And messes with my head. Unconditional love sucks when its not reciprocated.

I called the wife earlier. No answer on her cell. I left no VM. She called back about 30 minutes later. I told her that I had to go into town to take care of a ticket. I asked if she wanted to take care of getting the futon today. I am off today.

"No. I've got plans today. I might take care of it this weekend. I'm off on Saturday."
"And Juli? Are we going to put her in the Y?"
"Yeah. I don't have much of a choice."
"Should we enroll her today?"
"I'll take care of it."
"Oh. Ok. Then I'll talk to you later, then."
"Ok. Bye"

In that stupid high pitch voice she uses in a sarcastic way.

I ended up calling her back about another half hour later. I wanted her to take D11's glasses with her. The lense came out and I needed to take them to the eye glass place.

"I thought Amanda said that you were fixing them already?"
"No. She left them on the little bar thing you have."
"Oh. I'll just take them myself."
"Thats fine. If you want to. By the way, you need to send any emails to me to my yahoo. All your emails are getting quarantined."
"Really? You got the one I sent you yesterday pretty quick."
"No. I just got that this morning."
"But you responded to it right away."

We must have been on the phone at the same time, getting information on the afterschool program. She sent her email to me 5 minutes before I sent my email to her. I had no idea. She thought I was just responding to her with my email.

What a coincidence. I tell her that.

"You know.....I was thinking of going ahead and getting the futon after Juli's conference. No use puting it off. Could you just do me a favor and break it down so it can fit in the car."
"Amanda said that ya'll were going to karioke after the conference."
"Yeah, we ARE going tonight."

Ok, I guess I'm not invited.

"I was thinking that we'll take that thing you have back to your mothers."
"Why?"
"You don't have room."
"It's ok. It's just temporary. It'll fit."
"Ok. Not sure if it will fit in the Rodeo."
"We'll, I need to get going on these errands that I need to finish by 3. It looks like it wants to rain again."
"Its raining where I'm at."
"Well, we'll just play it by ear."

She was cold. Some kind of plans. Maybe the day with OM? Maybe an appt with an L? No response about the book or the money.

I left it wrapped in the plastic Borders bag on her bar counter thing.

She either got it or she didn't see it yet. Not my concern. I did it.

Just like a WS. Show nothing, give nothing. Like LWB said, I think its in their playbook. I THINK lwb said it to karen.

Anyway, went in to extend my court date to finish my online defensive driving course and then went to rent a couple video's. It was raining a LOT. Good day to be home and just chilling. Will watch my movies. "21" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Someone told me it was really funny.
