Didn't hear anything from the wife today. I called D11 at the apartment and found out that D7 was there. Her grandmother had picked her up and taken her to the apartment. D11 is the one that informed me that the wife went to enroll D7 in the Y afterschool program. Five openings last Wed. Now none. On a waiting list now.
Again, no word from the wife as to what the hell is going on. I did not want to call her. I would wait to see what she was up to now. I pick up the girls. As we are leaving, she calls the apartment and talks to S14 and lets him know she is leaving work now. I tell him goodbye and head home. Chicken and rice tonight and Juli and I made brownies. Mmmmmm!
Anyway, while we were eating, the wife calls.
"Hello." "Hi. Are the girls around?" "Yeah. They're eating dinner." "Oh."
THEN she starts to tell me what happened. She had called in the morning at the place and was told there was still three openings. She inquired about financial assistance and was directed to a different location. All of the sudden, there was a waiting list for D7's school. Some kind of mix up. There were five ahead of her. I pointed out to the wife that that was suspicious. She asked me to call the same place tomorrow and inquire myself to be safe.
We end up talking about the sitter. The wife keeps saying that she would say things. I kept digging and the wife tells me that the lady(from european slavic nation)had asked the wife why we did not live together and why were we separated and that that is wrong. Basically giving her opinion. Obviously, the wife did not agree with her and told her that we live in America and that it is her right for us to be separated or not. She made it sound like it had been a few weeks that this happened. I was not in the fighting mood, so I just listened to her and then told her that some people have their beliefs. Maybe it's for the better. Obviously, the lady had hit her with some good truth darts herself. She tells me again how people are so unreliable.
Yeah, I agree. No commitment in people anymore.
Goober.
She tells me about how a couple neighbors have had some discussions with her, too. Two that I had met.
Apparantly, the lady just tells you like it is. Gives her opinion freely.
We talk a little more about her. I mention that I hadn't planned on the expense of now having to take her to afterschool day school right next door to her apartment complex. She tells me the same. She starts to tell me how she doesn't have any extra money to buy stuff for the kids. Doesn't take them shopping. She feels bad.
"But that is what I chose, and I have to make it work."
I let her continue. Thats why she always has the neighbors kids around. They at least have fun. She tells me how she is taking extra hours at another nearby branch of the credit union that is at that outdoor mall. It is open later. She is going to do that on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The days that I have ALL the kids. She will work until 9pm. She is also working on Saturday again. I let her know that my job has cut out my OT since we hired the new guy. I now have to focus on making my incentive pay. The OT was an easy extra $200 a check. We talk a bit about the logistics of the daycare stuff. She asks if I can write the teacher a note. JuliAna is still going to ride the same bus. It actually is going to pull into the apartment complex like it always does. Some kids walk to their waiting parents. Some go with the waiting teacher from the daycare.
When I say it is next door, I mean it is nearly connected. Instead of getting of the bus and going to the right, Juli is now going to go to the left
"To the left, to the left. Everything you own in a box to the left." I heard this stupid song this morning on the way to work. D11 had left it on the station. I don't usually listen to pop.
What a coincidence. Again. My life is full of them.
I ask the wife how S14 is doing. She says he is doing just fine. He is going to ask a girl to "go out".
In my day, we asked a girl to "go around" with us. Now it's "going out".
She tells me it was one of the girls that was at the apartment on Sunday. I met her, but I don't recall which one she was. I let her know that I'm glad. He has been confused about his sexuality lately and this is a good sign. We talk about Amanda a bit too. She is slowly coming out of her shell. Making a few more friends.
At this point, I can hear Miguel asking her whats for dinner. She is talking to him and letting him know she is going to fix something up. She lets me know that she needs to feed him. She reminds me to write a note to the teacher. I tell her goodbye and she tells me the same.
I'm glad she finally took the time to let me know what was going on. I was starting to get upset and angry.
"And you wouldn't want to see me angry!" Man, I can't wait until the Hulk comes out next week.

Good Bye Girl. No longer SAYING she's moving out. GBG moved out 8-1-08

No one can blame you for having an aversion to that name, mine is "Stephanie" and to think my parents almost named me that!!
We both just have to keep in my mind that there are good people out there that haven't sullied those names, even though it is so hard to say the names out loud.

Guess what? Fireproof is playing at Santikos tonight at 7:35 and 10:15. Might be something fun to do........ Or, there is always the weekend or next week.
(GOod job giving the W the Power of the Praying Wife books, etc. No wonder she is not going to church now...she knows inside......she knows......My friend who is divorced twice and in the relationship with her affair partner has told me she now believes religion is for simple minded people and believes it was created a long time ago to reign in the masses...nothing more)
Or if you want to just get out, you could see Eagle Eye with me. Is this the week you have the girls? If not, I will be back in town on Friday. If so, Maybe we could see it Sunday. What do you think?

Ladies, I do have my girls this week. I did rent some new movie with John Cusak. "War, Inc". Sounded good, but haven't watched it yet. I can wait if ya'll want to see it too.
Beej, my wife knows why she is not going to church. She still believe's though. We always did enjoy watching Joel Osteen together, just before going to church. She has put up nice little framed scriptures and Christian sayings and little pillows with sayings in her living room. I've been tempted to ask her, "Do ya'll do it here on the sofa amid all the nice scripture?"
