Good evening last night, even though W went to bed early to read. Light and happy though. Just be cool.
This morning, W mentioned a couple of things that might, MIGHT, be good. She asked if "we" could have a tow hitch installed on her car so "we" could install a bike rack to take the kids (and ours, I presume) bikes around. She also said she thought for Christmas, we should get D5 a "real bike" since she will be ready for it by then. Did she just say "Christmas," as in four months down the road? Yes, I know we will have to plan for things like this whether we are M or not, but these were unsolicited comments.
When I left this morning, our sitter was talking about a stable she was working at and that she could take our kids there for something to do. W got into a discussion about horses and that just last night she received a message through facebook from an old college friend of her's - "He" and his wife do not have kids, only three horses. Apparently, "he" told W she could take kids riding anytime. I have not met this guy, but have heard her talk about him before everything hit the fan.
Old me would have gotten defensive and worried. Not now. I don't think anything is going on, but I am keeping my eyes open to a lot of things (while trying not to let that bother me). W has always (even back in college and high school) had a lot of male friends - could be the lack of a good role model who was a male during her upbringing. Anyway, if I am not good enough for her, that's going to be her loss.
Was surprised a little by the comments about the bike and planning for Christmas though. Could be good, or, at a minimum, neutral.
