Had a really good weekend. Just before leaving work on Saturday, I notice a missed call and VM from the wife. She WAS going to try to spend the day with the girls. She was saying something about picking up D11 from school then going and doing some things and then she would take them to me later.
I called her and asked her what she meant, because I was off of work now. She said that she was at Walmart and then they were going to another store and then she wanted to feed them and so on. I told her that I had intended to take them to the movies. She asked what time and I told her that I wasn't sure but soon.
"Well, let me get D11 something to eat and you can pick them up from the apartment."
After we hung up, K called me. We had opened accounts for each other at our banks and we needed to get some things signed. We decided to meet for lunch at a local bistro. I called the wife and told her that I had and errand to run also and that she had about an hour and a half. She told me she would just meet me at the theater to leave them with me.
Had lunch, met up to get the girls, went and saw "Hotel for Dogs" which they loved and also "Inkheart" which was over their heads. We went to Joes Crabshack afterwards for seafood, which we never used to be able to do since the wife hates it. Now, I try to take them whenever possible.
As we were walking in, walking out was David Robinson and his 4 boys. We got to tell him hello and he shook my hand. D11 was soooo excited. We had a great time.
On Sunday, church and football. Before I got the girls back to the wife, we had too many texts. My bad. Must have had too many beers.
On Monday, she calls me while I'm having lunch with Y. The school called and D7 was not feeling well and wanted us to pick her up. She couldn't get off, so I did. I kept her until about 7 and took her to the apartment. I ended up staying for dinner and a movie with them.
I just can't seem to turn down being with the kids. I just can't. I'm not doing it for her, I promise. I'm doing it for me.
Today is S14's Bday. S15 now. I called him this morning to with him happy Bday. The wife emailed me today to invite me to have wings at a wing place if I didn't have plans. I told her I would. She'll pick up the kids and I'll go grab an ice cream cake and a card from all of us.
I'm the worst DBer around.
As far as the "why doesn't she divorce me" question. HER response is no money. So she says. I don't really care anymore. I know I'll catch hell as usual. Don't give up on me, guys.
Hope everyone is doing well. I didn't get a chance to check on everyone.
I'm doing well. Sometimes lonely, but well.
