For the Guy with Kids and a WW Dix-Sept

[hopeful4her]

Logic is not in MY wife's vocabulary. Never was. Always ran on emotion.

No matter how much I want to put her out of my mind, she is still there. We are still married. I don't think I'll EVER give up on her really. I say I am. I believe I want to. But I don't.

I think that I'm just crazy.

Maybe it's ok to still feel that way as long as I still feel good about myself.

Just a little contact with the wife today. I missed a call from her work phone just after 5pm. Her VM was her reminding me that JuliAna went to daycare today, so don't forget her.

"Ok, so then I guess I talk to you later" in that sweet high pitch voice. Kinda fakey.

I call her back on my way home. We talk a little. I told her that I was on my way to pick up the girls. She tells me that Juli had a great day, but that she didn't get off the bus when she was supposed to. The bus still pulls into the apartment complex drive way and stops in front of the daycare so that the kids that attend can get out. Then the bus pulls further into the parking lot of the apartments and hangs a uturn to come right back out and stops at the mail boxes where the parents from the apartments get their kids. The teacher had to go get my daughter, but were talking maybe 40 yards.

I tell the wife that I tried to call the daycare but they didn't answer. Around 3:30. She says they might have been busy getting kids together, but that SHE had called at about 3:45 and spoke to them.

Again, we were thinking the same thing at pretty much the same time. 15 minutes off.

I ask her, "So my names on the list, right?"
"Yes, your names on the list, thank you very much. I don't know why they didn't have your name on it the last time."

Ya'll might recall, the wife enrolled them during the summer for like two weeks before she figured it out that we couldn't afford it. She set it all up without really telling me. I went to pick them up on the first day and they didn't have my name on the pick up list. She swears she put it on there, but she only had me listed as a parent. She assumed it wasn't necessary to list me as a pick up person.

My reply to her today was, "Well I guess they're just retarded."

She tells me that she'll call them when she gets out of work and we say goodbye. I pick up the girls. Juli did have fun today and liked it. She better for $300 bucks a month. We go pick out some more videos and head home. Getting out of the car, the wife calls. She gives me the, "Hey you" again. Asking if we are home yet. I tell her we just got out of the truck. Gathering stuff, I tell her to hold on and give the phone to D11 so they can talk. She also talks to D7 and then they get off the phone after a bit.

Later, D7 is out and D11 going to bed, she comes back to me and says, "Oh, I have to call mom before I go to bed."

"Oh really?"
"Yes, she told me to."
"Ohhh."
"She did. I'm not lying."

I wanted to remind her how she always forgets to call me before bed, but I don't.

B had called me today while I was picking up Juli. She was telling me about some drama with her ex and her daughter. She asked me to be honest with her so I told her that it sounded like she overreacted and was immature in how she handled the problem. I told her that we have to be the mature ones.

I took my one advice tonight.

I almost sent the wife a text telling her goodnight, tonight. If I had, I would be kicking myself. But I was planning on sending her one tomorrow. I have a choice of two. Gonna throw her off a little. The first one is,

"A friend just called and said there's some dumbass running down the road in sh*t stained underwear. Where the f*ck are r u going? Let me know if you need a ride."

The other is,

"Obama was on CNN this morning & he said he economy is so bad that he saw 3 mexicans swimming back to mexico, so I decided to check on you."

Ok, I'm not sure I'll send them, but they're funny to me.
