W asked me to send pics from Halloween & air show so I sent a few to her email address before going to bed. One of her + kids on Halloween came out great so I sent it to her phone as well. Off to bed at 10, phone rings 10:20 - guess who... W calls to see if I got her email thanking me for sending pic. Reply no haven't gotten the email. Thought it was a great pic of her & kids. Bummed that I didn't get one of me + kids. W says "Well, you have lots of pics with the kids at other places you have gone." I just reply that it would have been nice for me to have one with the kids. W says she just woke up - been sleeping - head still hurts. I ask how come - thought that sleep would have helped. W replies I just have a lot on my mind. Says she will be by at 7am for day 2 of garage sale & will I be up? I said I planned on sleeping in but she was welcome to come in house when she got her.
Wake up at 8am this morning - forgot time change. Decide to go see if kids are still asleep, wearing underwear only - nothing unusual there. Go to walk into S4's room & w is in bed with him awake. I say wasn't expecting to see you up there with a smile. She just says hi & S4 rolls over to say hi as well. Left to go check on D2 - still asleep. Go back to my room to start my day when D2 wakes up crying for Daddy. Go back down hall & get D2 - big hug & wants to be held. W comes out of S's room holding him. We bring kids into living room & then I go back to my room to get some pants on! Getting a bit too excited & don't know if w noticed :-)
I go get rest of laundry & start folding it. W then starts to sweep the tile floor throughout the house. Comes into my bedroom while I am figuring out whose shirt I was holding. Asks if I can just look at shirt to determine whose it is instead of looking at tags? Said yes, guess I could have just held shirt up to see how big it was. Just used to looking at tag sizes. No clue why w commented on what I was doing - guess it wasn't how she would have done it. Didn't take it personally & just smiled back at her.
She sweeps entire house, vacuums rugs & then gets out the floor cleaner & does the floors. 2 hrs of work. I cooked french toast for everyone. She thanked me for breakfast & I thanked her for her help with the floors. Said next time she will have to show me how that machine works so I can start doing that too.
Not going to bother with trying to figure out her motives behind her actions. Just doing my thing, avoid initiating any R talk, enjoy the moment, be patient & above all - be positive, happy & patient.
