For the Guy with Kids and a WW Vinte (20)

[hopeful4her]

Worked all day. I did let the books kind of get to me. I kept trying to think as to when she would have checked them out. I know she had gone to the library before her dad passed away. She had me return some books that the girls had out. I took them back the day I head out to Laredo, but they were all kids books. None by her.

The weekend her dad passed is out. Could have been the weekend after, but that was the weekend she had made the tamales and I took the girls to the movies that day. Maybe that Sunday. She was pissy that Saturday night, when S14 went to my folks to spend the night. On Sunday, she had wanted to go to the flea market. They didn't end up going, but she could have gone later in the day.

Last weekend, she worked all day Saturday. I had the girls. She read my email that night. On Sunday, she IM'ed me in the morning and we had a short convo and then several calls from the store later in the day. Then she came and picked up that girls at the house.

She was off this week after Monday. Tuesday, she should have been cooking lots of tamales. Wednesday, she should have been delivering them. I'm pretty sure that if she is going to the library, it will be with the girls and it will be on the weekend.

I had sent the wife a text this morning at about 10:30,

"If your still at the house, be VERY careful going home. The streets are really really slippery. Have a good one."

About an hour later, she replied,

"We just left."

That was the last I heard. I called the apartment after I got off work, at about 6:15. S14 answered the phone. He was telling me how they were helping A move stuff out of her apartment. The wife was going to let her store some things in her little garage she has. I talk to D11 and we talk a little. I ask her if they have gone to the library lately and she says no, so it sounds like it wasn't this past week. I then talk to D7 for a little bit. She is again distracted because A's daughter is at the apartment. Finishing our conversation, D7 tells me that mom wants to talk to me. I say ok and the wife gets on the phone. She sounds tired and kinda flustered. She has been helping A move some big stuff. She tells me what they have been doing. I ask her if she got to get some sleep. She says she got some, but her back hurts. I ask if her hip felt better, and she says she thinks she made things worse helping the neighbor.

She says what they did this morning and I ask if they took leftovers and she says they didn't. They made up the beds, cleaned up a little, watched a movie and then left. D11 had gotten up late. She starts to say how the neighbor gave her everything she had in her pantry and fridge. She no longer has room.

"I think I'm going to have to give you some of this stuff."

She tells me all the stuff she was given. We talk about the neighbor a little and she says that she is making dinner. A and her daughter will probably take a shower at the wifes place and then leave for Cali afterwards. I tell her that she sounds busy and I should let her go.

"Juli said that you wanted to talk to me?"
"She did? No."
"That's what she said."
"No."
"Uh huh." Sneaky girl, I'm thinking to myself.
"Okay, well I'll talk to you later." she says.
"Okay. Bye."

If she has had the books for a while, fine. Could have been since before her dad died. If it has been SINCE her dad died, that would be just wrong. That would mean that, even though it sounds like things are moving forward, she is hellbent on divorcing me.

Another thing to try not to think about, although I did enough thinking about it today. I'm done thinking about it. Like you said kat, I can't worry about it.

Sorry about the movie, kat. I haven't been thinking straight lately.

Tonight, I did have a nice time having a get together with a group of friends. I was the only one that didn't take any kids, but they understood. Some of the kids, I haven't seen in about 4 or 5 years. The girls and I got invited to a Bday party next Saturday for N's little girl. It was her house we were at tonight. N and two of her girls, age 6 and 10. B and her 12 year old daughter and 8 year old nephew. P and her husband took their 3 daughters ranging in age from 9 to 19.

Getting home tonight, my note to the wife was still in the same place. It looked like it was totally unmoved, but I know she had to have seen it.
