Had a good weekend - kids and I left on Friday, and we just stayed up late Friday night yakking. Saturday we got up and had a big breakfast, then went roller skating. I skated for 2 hours, and my feet let me know it! Then we had 22 family members that went to eat, and it was crazy! But a good time, and good food. After that it was straight to the circus, and we had really good seats. I bought the kids a couple of ridiculously expensive toys - I never got stuff like that, so I figured I would spoil them.
Sunday I went to church with my Mom and Dad - and then we had a HUGE meal. D8 had like 6 helpings of mashed potatoes and corn. I don't know where she put it since she's about as big around as a toothpick. So, all in all, it was a great time!
W actually texted me and wished me a happy birthday - I was sort of surprised she even remembered.
So, the weirdest thing:
Didn't hear from W all weekend, except for the birthday text - but we were driving home Sunday night, and W sent me a picture of some Jesus figurine that she boughtin a bookstore. Just randomly. She has not sent me anything like that in 2 weeks - after I rejected her previous attempts to be conversational. You all know how she dropped being a Christian and turned into this sort of agnostic thing-a-ma-jig. So, she said she was going to put "Jesus" in her purse, and if people were mean to her, she was going to pull him out and say, "I have something you need."
So I joked with her a bit, and then left her with the last word.
So I came home, and was cleaning and trying to do laundry - etc - and she kept calling the house phone. It is messed up, and my cell phone was upstairs, so I finally answered it, and she started telling me about some desk she found that someone was just throwing away. She said she didn't have room for it, and wanted to see if I wanted it, because it was just like the desk the kids have.
Well, that's just odd, but anyway. So, I was talking to her on the phone, and I looked outside, and she was sitting in our driveway! So, I was like "Are you in our driveway?" And she was. So weird.
So I ran outside to get the desk, and she just sort of came in the house. Weird - hasn't come in the house for probably 5-6 weeks. She started talking to me about how she broke her toe tripping over the dog, and she needed to study cause she got her worst grade ever on a test (C-) and so on. She asked to see the kitchen, and just went on and on about it, about how great it looked. She kept looking at me too - I didn't even really look at her, but was polite.
I dunno - it was so odd. We have been praying really really hard - and I have such a hard time figuring if I should be patient and let God work, or if I should continue to take a hard line - and press her for the dissolution, or what.
I'm no clearer now than I was, but luckily I got to have an awesome weekend in between!
I feel really great - focused, working through things in life. Biz partner and I are discussing continuing the partnership and so on. We are blessed because we are super busy... Every night this week, I have something planned. Our first big bowling bash on Thursday - pool the next week, basketball on Monday nights, and so on.
Again, I have to wonder if my "new life" is sinking on on W - plus I'm sure that prayer is working, and maybe if I just hang in there. But then again, the other part of me bristles in the fact that she is still doing "something" with OM - but I dunno.
