Just updating. Not much happening so will just give the high lights.
Wednesday night the W and I went to a swim meeting for our kids swim team. I told the W I could handle it so she could go to play poker but she refused and went to the meeting with me. Afterwards she went to the grocery store and I took the kids home. When she got back we went for a walk and then watched some tv.
Thursday night my S and I built a model rocket we bought for his Space Exploration Merit Badge while my W went to her parents to check on her sister that had oral surgery earlier in the day.
Friday the W calls and invites me out to lunch. She was leaving work to run some errands and was going to be near my office. I told her I would so she picked me up and we went to a pizza place near my work. I told her I was going to be working late but would be home in time to take our D to the football game and then pick our S up at swimming so she could go to her Make-Up party.
During the day a couple of idiots robbed a bank just south of us and decided to get into a high speed chase and wreck shutting down all major roadways in our area because one of them escaped and was armed and dangerous. I called my W to let her know the schools were all locked down and that her dad had to go into the school and sign our S and D out. My D high school drops her off at my S school so both of them would be in lock down together.
On my way home from work I got stuck in all the traffic, I thought by the time I left it would be over but the highways were still all shut down and I was stuck in tons of traffic. I called my W to let her know I would be late. We talked for a little bit on the phone and then she told me to drive safely and that she will see me when she gets home.
I finally got home but my D did not want to go to the football game, thank god because her school is right across the street from my office. I picked my S up and then went home to rest. W got home after 10 and we talked till after 11 and then I went to bed. In the morning she rolled over and snuggled up to me till the kids got up and she needed to get ready.
After we got up she went to get her hair cut and I cleaned up the house. I also helped my S with his science project paper. After my W got home we watched a movie because it was cold, rainy and just down right ugly out. We then took the kids out to dinner and then went to the mall. When we got home we watched another move and I went to bed.
Sunday my D went to her friends house for her 16th birthday party. I helped my S finish his science project paper and then we went out to the soccer field near our house and shot his rocket off. We had a great time and the parachute deployed each time so the rocket stayed intact. Took lots of pictures of him building and shooting it off so will get them up on the other site.
Sunday night made dinner for the inlaws and then we carved pumpkins to get ready for Halloween. I did not carve mine because my wrist hurt after cleaning out five pumpkins plus my D did not get home till late so I figured I would do mine Monday night with her.
The W and I have been getting along really well and our interactions have been very relaxed and easy going. We have had some moments that were light and playful even. I hope it continues and that this is a sign that we are progressing in the right direction. It even seems like she is enjoying my company and wanting me to be around.
