For the Guy with Kids and a WW 23

[hopeful4her]

Thank you for the thoughts, lady.

I bet those cupcakes are going to be gooooood!

It's already being tough. I just feel it building. Just have to keep my emotions in check.

I called my girls last night while on the way home. While talking to D7, we're telling each other that we miss each other. She was working on her Valentine's day cards to her class mates. I remind her that I was going to pick her up on Saturday after I get off work. She mentions that she wants me to, but mom had mentioned something about going to the rodeo that day.

Now, I had already told the wife that I wanted to pick up the girls when we spoke on Wed evening. She had hesitated when I told her, but then agreed. I thought her hesitation was odd. I said good bye to D7 and asked her to put her mom on the phone.

"Your taking the kids to the rodeo?"
"I told them that if you didn't plan anything, that we could go."
"I told you that I wanted to pick them up after I get off work."
"Then pick them up."

I was getting frustrated by her even mentioning it to the girls, when she knew I wanted them. We spoke about the girls day. Considering the emails we had exchanged earlier in the day, she was sounding a little pissy, maybe frustrated. Short. I reminded her to let them know I would pick them up on Saturday and she told me that they'll be ready.

"Did you want to talk to anyone else?"

She sounds frustrated.

"Yeah, let me talk to S15."

We talked about his day for a while and told about his weekend plans. I told him that I missed him and was sorry I couldn't get them for my week this week. He said he missed me too.

I have tweaked my email to her and will send it tonight sometime. I'm telling myself it will be the last one I send to her concerning us.

It's time to take care of myself and focus on my life.

I'll take my girls out somewhere on Saturday. Maybe the movies, then cook them a great dinner. Steaks and shrimp, maybe.

Then, we are planning on having an early family dinner at Olive Garden, I believe. Just the five of us.



Hey Flynny,
