New Me - Will WAW ever notice?

[Kakatal]

W showed up this AM to watch kids - tired from movie. Asked how it was - said movie was good but crowded. Got there at 11 & barely found seats, audience full of teens & kids as young at D9. Said every time they showed boys from movie on screen all the girls would ooo & ahh. I said that must have been a fun environment. (What I was really thinking was boy, bet you felt awkward & old!)

W calls to let me know that she doesn't have to work tonight. Going to take S4 & D2 to stay overnight with her. Told her that would be great so I could go out. Says that D9 called to bring her to a birthday party. I explain that D9 called 2 hrs ago & I was under impression her stepdad was bringing her to party & I would pick her up afterward. W irritated but will bring D9 - thank her for helping out.

W said that she may be able to work next Thursday at SIL neighbor's house - hired help for day. Says she could use the money; cousin & family are going to Disneyland Thursday, SIL is going to her in-laws & figures I want to do something with kids so she might as well work. (I didn't bring up fact that she offered to cook & spend day with us last week - she needs the money).

W says she will call house phone & leave message when she works tomorrow - either starts at 10 or 3. I let her know that I can watch kids for her if she needs me to. She thanked me. Told w I would call D9's mother to have her pick up D9 from birthday party. Bye

Called D9 mother. Ask her why her H can't bring D9 to party. Says that D9 doesn't have a gift & her H won't bring her because of that - embarrassed. Says that she thought birthday was tomorrow as did I. Ask her to pick up D9 from party since w is dropping her off & I am going out tonight. She says why don't I take D9 out with me. I just say I am headed to a bar else I would. Bye

Call w. Relay above exchange - she laughs - typical interaction with D9's mom. Ask her to have D9 call her mom to get picked up & that I will see her in AM at her soccer game. Thanks & bye.
