Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Well, couldn't go completely dark. D10 called about 9:30 p.m. to ask if I could go get breathrite strips for her. I wondered, but did not ask, why W couldn't go get them.

I'd turned down going out because I was tired from Friday so I went to Walmart and picked up the strips and dropped them off.

The family was having a "girls night out." They'd put a tent up in the living room and were watching movies. Ironically, that is my mother's tent and if we do D, I'll ask for that.

The W was dressed in painting clothes and didn't look like she wanted to be out in public. I guess that's why I got the call.

D7 kept asking me to stay, but I told her I couldn't.

It looks like W is preparing to paint the interior of the house. She's been wanting to do it for years. Of course, now she wants to sell it as well. She said she was probably going to paint it next weekend when I have the kids.

Then I left and headed to my apartment to get some sleep. I don't know what the DB rules on something like this are? I guess in my mind, I was available and I helped out my family.
