Going straight forward...antlers 5th thread.

[antlers]

Took my son to his first kickball game last night (the kids were with me), and my wife came too, after she got off work. I stayed where I was after she got there, and after a few minutes...she came up to me and started talking to me. It was the first time we have talked face-to-face in months. Nothing special, mostly logistical stuff about the kids and some minor chit-chat. I cheered for my son, as did she. After the game, I said I was gonna go ahead and leave to go turn on the AC and get the car cooled down, and I left. She asked if she could take daughter to eat as I was leaving and I said it was fine. I waited in my car, running the AC, while my son told her bye. He came on pretty quick and he and I left. Wife did have some fresh jalapenos and cherry tomato's that someone gave her at work, and offered to give me some while we were at the game. I took em'...I'm a pepper belly! Anyway, I thought it went OK, being that it was the 1st time in month's that we've even talked face-to-face. Even just recently, when she brought the kiddos over right before we left for vacation, she was pretty harsh and cold. She was nothing like that last night. She's taking the kids on vacation for a week pretty soon, and they leave Friday morning. She's gonna leave her cat with me while they're gone. I'll probably text her after they leave...something like 'be safe, and have a good time'. Remember the texts she sent me when we left to go on vacation, and while we were on vacation? Pretty ugly and hurtful. I guess it'd be too much to tell her that she looked 'smokin' hot', which she did, when I send that text? I felt OK about our interaction at the kickball game.
