W texted d-15 and said she missed her, but she was STILL in San Antonio. Daughter and W texted back and forth while I was driving my daughters to the rodeo. Wife had originally told daughters she would take them to zoo Saturday after she got paid Friday.

In latest texts, she was lying about getting paid the NEXT Friday--that she 'got the weeks mixed up'--(I know she got paid already and so do the girls). W didn't even mention the park or doing something with them Sunday like she had said before she left Friday. Daughter didn't mention it and I don't think she mentioned WE were already going to the rodeo, anyway.

W was talking about taking daughters to movies next week 'after she got paid'. Daughter-15 was hot and told her--"I'm not holding my breath--you're always lying and all you care about is OM--" W didn't text back for rest of day.

The girls and I had a really good time at the rodeo...and we didn't have to try to keep W in a good mood this year (Most every year she would get in a bad mood about rodeo--her clothes don't fit because of her weight, not comfortable with her hair or looks in general, other people at rodeo, etc.)

Maybe W was feeling guilty, but all the crappy lying and selfish obsession, etc. is really building a wedge between her and the girls.

She had originally "taken off work for Spring Break" for the girls. She was only taking them to the free park during the week because she "had no money". Once she got paid, she backed out of that 'zoo-promise' and went out of town with OM.

There are five women I have been talking to lately that are interested in dating me (or more). I've only actually been out with one of them twice, but it's nice to talk to all of them.

I'm not sure I'm ready for juggling lots of dates and all that sort of thing. But my bruised ego is feeling a little bit better.

I don't see W getting over OM -- even though my mom says "God is working" -- I wonder if He's working on finding someone else for me. I think Mom is worried I'm going to start dating lots of women again (or get sexual with them).

13 years ago when I was single I was rather wild.
