So I finally ended up leaving last night. The girls wanted to stay the night there so I let them. W's dad ended up being friendly the rest of the night. I told everyone goodbye except W. W came up to me and wanted to talk about exchanging the kids in the morning. They were all going to go to breakfast. I was invited. I said I don't care. We will talk in the morning. Then W offered me cake to take home kind of laughing since there were 2 cakes. I said no thanks and walked out without any further acknowledgement.
So this morning I get out of the shower and there is this loud banging on my door. I am wearing a towel wrapped around. So I go to answer the door and there is W. She wants to drop off the girls. I say ok, leave the door cracked and walk off. Then W and girls come in and W comes over to me and starts talking about their breakfast, etc. I say ok and head into my room. W follows me into my room and continues talking about how the day should go and wanting ideas on what else she can get D8 and who is coming, etc. I'm like ok. So she keeps talking. Keep in mind I am in my towel and in my room. So finally I sit down on the bed and then she starts talking about her job interviews and what she is running into and then wants to offer me any help on questions I might have for a lead I got last night from a recruiter on a BSA position. I tell her I am doing the research to answer the best way. She wanted examples of questions I was getting. I didn't really divulge any. So she keeps on talking. Finally she decides she has to go. By this time I am thinking, I am pretty much ready, all I have to do is drop my towel, a quicky would be a good way to start the day off. But I don't say this.
So she finally starts to head to the door. Looks a bit at my teams business plans we have started since it is in the dining room of my apartment. So I quickly say I am also working on that and we are trying to launch by january 1st 2011. I don't say anything further. Oh and she tells me she has a friend with a lot of money that wants to buy our van from her and donate so she just needs me to sign the title. I say ok. I don't care about the van at this point anymore. She tells me she would like for me and the girls to be at her place by 12:30 so she can dress D8 for her party. That is fine. Then she finally leaves.
So now my girls are getting a shower and I am getting ready and we will be heading out soon to start the full day. It will be a party for D8 and then Joe's crabshack after for dinner for D8. I am guessing it will just be W, my girls and me.
I think last night when W's dad asked me first thing how is the single life, that just kind of set the tone for my mood the rest of the night. What kind of crappy question was that knowing he was an originator of pushing for us to D.
I don't know. I have things I need to accomplish and I don't want W's help in doing it. I want to say I did it on my own. I would like to prove to myself for a change that I can succeed at things without her.
Not that D8 will read this. But...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY D8!!!!
