Don't think camp has helped my W much thus far. She has called the house three times this week around bedtime and I have picked up each time. Each time she has been short on words with me and stated that she simply called to tell the kids she loves them. Of course, she says nothing of the sort to me. Then the second comment she makes she asks if everything is OK- in a tone suggestive that she is harboring a little skepticism whether I can handle taking care of the kids for a week or not. Give me a break. She has gone to camp every year for years- every time went smoothly with me and the kids. My response to all three phone calls is the same every time: "everything is just fine honey, the kids and I are having a blast".
I don't know what her problem is- I guess it's her continuing her effort to try to look at me in a negative light any way she can to assuage her guilt and justify her EA. She was doing this nitpicking with me before she left for camp too. Whatever. Just makes me more motivated to become a "hard target" by being even more openly self confident and cheery.... and detached.
Well she gets home tomorrow night. We'll see what kind of mood she's in then. I'll be sure to greet her with a big toothy grin.
Talk to you later.
