What a weekend! LOL...the kids go to school far a week and then a long weekend. The downside is that we had little to do and for the most part the neighborhood kids weren't around...can you say BORED children leads to parent insanity...lol.
Friday-Usual happenings...The kids got home from school and went out to play. I had to deal with my son BORROWING his best friends toy. After serious thought and deliberation, decided no tv, computer, nintendo, or going inside friends house for the weekend. Wife came home and then went out with her friends....I hung out with the kids and then crashed early.....
Saturday-Got up and took kids grocery shopping...back home around noon to find wife still in bed. She was extremely moody, but not my problem. She leaves around 3 and I tell her that I going to take the kids to the movies. So goof off the rest of the afternoon and take kids to the 8:00 showing of GI Joe (a lot more violence than I remember, but I don't think kids will be scarred for life). Get home at 10:30 and wife is home and sound asleep...Hmmmmm
Sunday-Wife is moody and asks me about the "cave". I try to describe the man's cave to her, but it is kind of hard to describe. Come to find out guy friend sent her home because he wanted to go home and be by himself. OK..no problem. So I take kids to park to play and return home to find her trying to make plans with a co-worker about going for a motorcycle ride. I tell her she better be up front with him that she isn't interested because I don't want a pissed off wife or girlfriend coming to my door. She says she is not interested at all in this guy...and I state that I don't want some one to get the wrong impression (When wife mentioned wanting to go for a bike ride before...co-worker offered...she said to him "What will your girlfriend think?" and his reply was "I don't care what she thinks"...some people are such a@@holes). So I decide to take kids to local fair and her plans fall through, so I ask her if she wants to come. She says maybe and I get around doing my thing (she gets text from co-worker that he will be at a local bar). As we are going out the door I ask again.."Do you want to go?". She starts crying and says no I don't, please go. Which I do...fair wasn't much fun, basically little shopping places and that's it. A few rides for the kids, but I am not paying $3 a kid for 30 seconds of fun! Return home and she is gone. She returns from the bar about an hour after we get back even moodier. Turns out guy friend returned to bar Saturday night after she left and stayed to closing...so she is pissed off that he lied to her and is pushing her away (Karma is a bitch).
Monday-She chats with old college buddy and then joins me in conversation. Basically how she has lost the drive she used to have. Asks me about it and I tell her that was one of things that I was attracted to her for. She mentions that she doesn't remember having drive and I roll off examples of it. Asks me when did it disappear, with the children? To which I reply, sadly yes...it disappeared with them...sometimes the truth sucks, but it is the truth. Then she talks about the separation and she says her friend gets it...that she doesn't really think she wants a divorce...just some time and space. Oh the confusion!
Today-Some lousy business calls...seems like everybody I talk too is barely hanging on now. Very sad....good news is the weather was perfect for a run. Hit the park and pushed out a 5K in 28:33. I am very pleased with that since my ankle is still hurting and I have only been running again for about two weeks.
