Well the kid exchange went smooth. The kids came back a little while ago. I told her she could have them for the night too. She said "the handbook says until 8:00pm." Ok. I was nice but distant.

I really don't know how to act. I'm not mad anymore, but I feel like I should have my guard up I guess, I struggle with this at times. What the hell do ya say?? Anyway....

I think she thought that the kids were going to make a big deal over this new kitten. They mentioned it when they first got here and now they haven't said another word.

I mentioned to her that it is time we decided on a school. She said "I know" and said no more.

The past few times I have not let her come in. I just meet her outside on the front steps. We spoke a little outside at one point I smiled at her when she was telling me about what the kids named the cat. When I smiled the look on her face was strange. Almost sad in a way and a little suprised I guess.
Odd.....

I get a sense she is bothered by how close of a realationship I have with the kids and how they are always excited when they come here.


Don't stand still.
