For the Guy with Kids and a WW Neunzehn(19)

Dunno, girl.

I'll take it as, at a MINIMUM, her seeing the friendship coming back, possibly not the marriage. The relationship? Maybe.

That was why I sent the texts. I wanted her to know that it WASN'T just friendship on my part, but my love for her. And a reminder that I'm not giving up on her. Just like her dad. I had to take advantage of her thinking that.




After I left last night, I took it easy at home. I went in to work a little later than usual. On my way in...

she called. Just like I always hope she would.

I answer it this time. She was wondering if I could pick up Juli from daycare today because work has her scheduled until 6:30. I let her know that I'll pick her up, not to worry. We start to talk. She wasn't supposed to go in until 9:30, so she has to sit in the back until that time. She asks if I'm at work yet. I ask her about the benefits stuff and she tells me that HER medical is paid for. I remind her to take the kids off for now. I have them covered and still have nephew covered, too. She says she will. She then says that she is looking at her account. She counts 8 NSF fees on her account! We discuss if she'll get in trouble. I also let her know that I'll take care of daycare on Monday and she thanks me. I ask her if she got gas yesterday and she tells me yes. I tell her that as long as she has paid her rent, has gas and grocery's, she's fine. She agreed.

I ask her if she has contacted the attorney in Laredo and she told me that she hasn't yet. We talk a little about her little half sisters and keeping in touch. She gets a little emotional so I change the subject. I ask if she is working Saturday and she says that she is off. She asks me the same question and I let her know that I'm off as well. Then she asks if I have any time off during Thanksgiving. I let her know that I don't, but my parents are off that week and offered help with the kids. She says maybe Monday through Wednesay, but she is off the day after Thanksgiving. We discuss any vacation time she has left because of this past week and she wasn't sure how many days she burned for vacation. She tells me that she had taken the last week of the year off and I let her know that I also took that week off.

We have a couple pauses because I'm driving and she seemed a little distracted with something, so she says that it is time to open and tells me to have a good day. I tell her the same and hang up.

So, it seems that we'll be together tonight again. I think I'll pick up some pizza's for us on the way home.

And Saturday with the kids sounds like its out. Amanda wanted to go to the movies to see the "Chihuahua Movie" if we DID do something together, if the wife had to work. I may have her plant the idea in her mom about us all going together that day.

Maybe skating, too. Or maybe another drive to a park. Lost Maples again. I think the leaves finally changed.

Will play things by ear. I may go by myself. Should be a nice weekend. I'm thinking something burned on the pit.
