Getting Un"Stuck" - Giving My Burden to God

[MrBond]

So today, we were both at our D's soccer practice. I was on the sidelines right there watching while she stayed way over in another field watching the game from afar. Later she came over and I walked over to where she had left her folding beach chair and brought it over to her to sit. She said "thanks" and then she turned quiet.

Every now and then I would look her way to see her reaction to my D playing. She didn't smile. Just looked tired. We went out to dinner together with the kids and we had a nice time.

She yawned a few times and I asked her what time she got up. She told me 4:30 a.m. so that she could come over to our house and watch our youngest D since she was off. I asked her why she got up so early since she knew she didn't have to come until 6:30. She just said she needed the time to "get ready" since she wouldn't have time to put on her makeup if she got up later. So I asked her where she went and she said nowhere. Just stayed at the sister's place.

Now she had all her makeup on. Why would she do all that just to go back home and not do anything. She has a tendency to do that. Get all dressed up, but just stay home.

Afterwards, I told her that I was thinking of making Valentine's Day dinner for our Ds since I had them that night. I asked if she would like to join us and she said 'okay'.

So now she's coming over the weekend. I figure I'll invite her to a few things but not all. The whole time we were out, I was genuinely happy. I mean I played with my Ds, I laughed and had a good time. Every now and then I caught her watching me. At one point at practice, I mentioned to her that my workplace had started a prayer group. She asked (in a cynical way) why we needed a prayer group. I just said there was a lot of stuff going on in people's personal lives that they just needed the support. And left it at that.

I should try throwing holy water on her and see if the demon inside her can be chased out.
