For the Guy with Kids and a WW Diciotto

[hopeful4her]

Thought I would check in today.

Beej, I am fairly close to my folks. I had been trying to stay away from them for a while, when the wife was still at home. They are so angry with her.

I've been keeping myself busy with work. Haven't had any contact with the wife except that little request on Monday from her to bring some of D7's jeans and that printer power cord and an email exchange concerning D11's PE shirt Wednesday.

D11 called me on Wed. night at around 10pm. I really enjoyed talking to her. No call at all yesterday. I called in the morning as usual, but I didn't call after school to talk to her like I usually do and she forgot to call me.

She did call me this morning. She wanted to find out if they could get their two puppies for tonight. Dress them up. I said sure, but how would they get them. I was expecting the wife to ask me to bring them to her place this morning. I could hear her in the back ground. She says the mom said that we can go when she gets out of work. I ask D11 about the church thing. She says that she wanted to go but thought she would feel funny going. I asked why and she tells me because we aren't a family.

We talk a little more. I tell her that I wish we could see each other. She says her too. She says maybe we can eat dinner together. I tell her that I don't want to change what they were planning, but to ask her mother.

Then D11 tells me that mom is going to pick up D7 early from daycare. They are closing at 5 today and she didn't have anyone to pick her up before they close, so she will save her lunch break for 4pm to pick her up and take her to the apartment when D11 gets there.

Sounds like there was no way she was going to ask me for help.

I talk to D7 for a while. She says she misses me. I miss them a lot, too.

Nothing planned for tonight or the weekend yet.

Yet.

I took on some extra hours tomorrow for work. I was supposed to be off. I did go to Target last night and found some Camp Rock stuff on clearance for the girls rooms. B and I had gone there after we had dinner.

I think I'll go for a drive this weekend to San Marcos and visit the shops again. Then maybe grill some steaks at home and watch all my movies. I think I'm getting The Hulk, Lars and the Real Girl, and the Bank Job today from my Netflix.

Hope everyone has a great Halloween.
