W is back tonight from her trip. She called the house phone and I didn't answer it as I expect she wants to talk to the girls. But they ignore the house phone since anybody who they really want to talk to will call their cells.
I guess she then called D13's phone but D13 isn't home and doesn't have it with her. She called the house phone again and I almost answered it. So she called D17's phone and got her.
I went into the kitchen and D17 was taking to her, then said "I'll have to ask my dad..." and hands me the phone and says "It's mom, she wants to know if she can come over in a little while"
I took the phone and W asked me if it was ok so she could see the girls. She was in a pissy mood and said "I don't know why nobody answered the phone!" and I told her D13 wasn't home so when she comes over it'll just be D17.
She said ok and then BYE and hung up.
When she came over she had her table and things and was dropped off by her girlfriend. She carried her stuff in, still limping.
I was in my office and didn't see her until she walked BY my office door, which was open, on her way to the garage to put some things away. she didn't look in or say anything to me at all.
A few minutes later she left with D17 to go somewhere.
Usually she comes back from these things all happy and la la la. Not being able to get a hold of us on the phone would NOT set her off when she's in that 'happy' place.
I went to go pick up D13 from her friends house and when we got home W was in the kitchen sitting and talking with D17 about the propositions on the ballot here. I looked at W but she did not look at me. I said something about one of the props to D17 and W still looked straight ahead.
A moment later I was in her line of sight and she did make eye contact, I gave a polite smile and she smiled nervously.
I've left and gone to my office so she can hang with the girls.
Yeah, it still hurts. At least the first thing she's doing after coming back is spending time with the girls instead of OM.
