Patience. That was the theme for tonight. W is happy and bubbly as ever. Just that one problem.
We went to an open house for our S's school tonight. Another couple who lives down the road from us also went with us.
Pretty normal evening. Just listened to the principal and teachers. Good information. Many single moms at the open house, which did not hurt at all. Wonder if W could sense she wasn't the only woman in the room.
I made courteous conversation with W, but did not feel up to putting on the all out blitz. I got up this morning to work out at 5:00 a.m. since that was the only time I had to work it in my schedule. Pretty busy day at work - good to be busy.
W called me this afternoon at work to tell me she heard who S's baseball coach would be for fall ball. Not a caoch she or I like, unfortunately. But, there are some great other parents on tha team, so it will be fine.
After the open house, came home. Pretty beat. Hung out with W in the den. She talked a good bit. I let her in on my day and how busy it was. Funny that on teh way to our S's school tonight, the H of the other couple asked about my day. I told him I went to lunch with a couple of my partners and met a guy who is running for attorney general in our state. I have been holding back what is going on with my job from W. Just sort of my little secret, sort of. I think my lunch piqued her interest.
I really like my job, and I'm getting exposure to some pretty well connected people. The work is interesting and the people are great. I am getting a lot of confidence from my work, and I think it shows. My work future looks bright, regardless of what W chooses to do.
Anyway, doesn't seem like much to report tonight. At least nothing of which I am aware. I know she's still watching. And so I wait with strength and patience.
