Hi Newmama,

I love your optimism and I wish I had it. But then maybe not having it is a good thing! smile

I have optimism and pessimism all in the one day. Feeling good though. Today has been fun. Had a good xmas day. Had a good xmas dinner. Had good presents (until somebody bought me 'Release the beast' thong .. anybody that watches Scrubs have a look at Todd ... you know what I got).

Anyway.

No idea if W will come around. Hate to disagree with you Newmama but I do. I think that may well be my protection mechanism cutting in, however I am trying very hard not to care. Whatever W and OM get up to is their business.

I have YET AGAIN heard more stuff about yesterday.

W was cuddling D while D was crying and W was telling her she loved her (didn't hear that before) and while blaming me and D's mum for stopping contact. Quite annoyed at W, but hey ho it's D's decision whether to speak to her or not.

I also asked D to speak to MIL this morning and she did so for about 15 minutes (which is unusual for D - she will either speak to you all day or for 5 seconds - no in betweens!). MIL texted me after thanking me for the call and saying she enjoyed speaking to D and offering her fondest regards for Xmas - to be honest this threw me! Didn't think I'd get that from MIL. Anyway, I responded saying hope to see her in 2010.

W tried to call me this morning but I was in the shower. I do have software on my phone to reject calls from W, however I missed a digit (I put a 5 instead of a 7)! I can guess why she was calling but she didn't leave a message, call back or leave the present with me or D's mum. She could easily have dropped the present off or otherwise got it to us very easily. She chose not to do that. That was her choice. I still hold the view that she is trying to use D against us (ie. 'your mum and dad are stopping me seeing you')

Had a good day. Hope you all did too.
