The tunnel of darkness

[kjensen]

No word from H yesterday. He said he'd miss D12's talent show because he had a client meeting. D12 did great with her dance group. When she came home she was kind of sad-looking-not sure if realted to her dad missing it or not(she says she didn't want him there of course..)

This morning H texts me to ask how D12's show was and to let me know he has a free snowborad lesson, lift ticket, equip rental from his cousn's friend and is going to Aspen today. Wishes D12 good luck on her Australia interview. I respond that D12 did great..say his day sounds fun..ask if he is going with his cousin(my weakness-shouldn't have). Asked how his meeting was.

No response from H. I was feeling some resentment creep in..I'm taking care of our children (which I am absolutely thrilled to do), but I would like a snowboard lesson...ahhh the weakness.

Don't think he'll get to Aspen today as I-70 is closed at Vail.

Read J3B's great doormat question and responses..so I texted H that I hope he has a great day. Snowboarding sounds cool. Left it at that.

D12 and I may take a snowboard lesson ourselves durng spring break when D14 goes to Disney with the marching band.

Thanks to all who posted their(IMO spot on)answers to J3B. I heartily agree with all. Nice to have reminders of the big picture with a MLCer...
