We all made it home safe and sound. Thanks to everyone for your support last night and this morning. I really needed it.
Had a good dinner, now hanging out with the family in the den. Kids playing a game and joking, while W and I are updating our calendars with kids' school schedules and dates - they start on Monday.
Things are very pleasant right now. W and I are pretty worn out from the trip to Disney and the driving. But, despite our fatigue, we are talking really nicely to each other. She doesn't know it, but she looks really beautiful right now. She's not "done up" and her hair is falling around her face. Just gorgeous. God, I need patience and strength.
What an up and down day. This am, I feel like everyone (in-laws and W) is pulling back from me. Then, within 10 minutes of getting in the car to leave in-laws for the drive home, W is talking nicely to me and making plans for "our" next trip to Disney when the kids have a break from school in October. This is the same woman who said on the night she dropped the bomb that she would wait to see my changes, but would not wait "6 months." Don't believe anything they say and only half of what they do.
Well, I am physically and emotionally wrung out. But, I fell surprisingly ok.
One day, I would really like to know what is going on in her head. She may not know. I sure don't. And, I am not trying to figure it out - not in my job description.
