Been a busy week-it was W. birthday so I acted "as if" & bought card / presents as per usual, only differnece was that they were given from all 3 of us rather than anything directly from me. I did not see her or speak to her on the day, just sent a text but did arrange for boys to take W out for dinner & stay over. Received voicemail, text messages & thanks on phone for gifts. I just said that they were from boys & changed topic.
Yesterday was full of sports activities for Boys and we used these for the handover back to W. She reminded me that S9 was playing in a tournament in the afternoon, which I had forgotten about. W asked if I was going & said I would try. She texted later saying it was worth going. I managed to get there & W was very talkative and upbeat, as well as chats about kids, how S9 was playing, she was also being proactive about arrangements for next week, said she had bought things for boys for the holiday(W is not going)telling me where she was going with friends etc. We had been watching from separate spots & at one point she asked me to join her on the balcony as the view was better. Just the 2 of us for about 20 minutes, no dramas, just talking.
Baby steps or cake eating as I know OM was away with OMW this weekend?
