DD17's senior prom has come and gone. She had a wonderful time. She looked gorgeous. Ahhhh....youth... I can't belive my baby is a senior. Now, I just have to make it through graduation.

Well, I must say the prom dinner was a little interesting. H called DD about 1:00 and asked if the dad in charge of cooking their prom dinner needed help. She told him no, but if he wanted to come to the dinner it was at 5:30. He said he would be there. I must admit that I was disappointed. Yes, I know she's his daughter too, but I really didn't feel like seeing him for a couple of hours or more. But, it wasn't about me, it was about DD. So I sucked it up.

When H got there, I was busy doing something for the kids. I didn't even acknowledge him when he walked in. A couple of my close friends knew what is going on and knew I didn't wish to be around him. I just stayed busy and tried my best not to make contact. A couple of times he spoke to me, I wasn't rude, but I answered quickly and then walked off. Both of my friends said he kept staring at me. Once during the dinner I caught my DD looking at me and then looking across the room at her dad. I felt really bad for her. I know it has to be hard on her when all of the other parents there helping with the dinner were "together".

At one time I was talking to a friend and he came up to us. I just turned and walked away. Later, he finally more or less cornered me. He told me that he got a call that they were having a lighting problem at the prom location and they wanted to know if he would come and help. As he was explaining this he put his hand on the small of my back and the next thing I know he had his arm around my waist. Okay, so when you talk to someone you have to touch them? Luckily, someone came in the kitchen and said your DD wants you to come out and take pictures for her. I was glad to go!

Today, DD 20 and I were going to pick up something for dinner and her cell phone rang. She talked a while and then handed the phone to me and said dad wants to talk to you. He asked me if I ever got my blinds hung. I said no. He said I'll come over and hang them for you. I said well, I'm not sure where all of the brackets are for all of them, I'll have to look. He said, well, they were on top of the desk. I said not all of them, I don't want any of them hung until I can get all of them hung. I'll call you when I find them. He said, oh, okay. I think he was very surprised I turned down his offer to help. Sounds like he was looking for an excuse to come over. I didn't bite...
