So D and I had a great weekend at my parents' 50 Anniversay. W apparently did very little. Nothing happened here at the house as her vehicle went to what I can presume is Amanda's (I'll try to verify this week) and it didn't move til an hour ago when she came home.

I noticed Saturday morning when I saw W that she's now looking dangerously thin (she has lost weight but it's getting unhealthy looking). She looks tired. And not particularly happy.
The only thing she said when she got home (and how it would be important or releveant escapes me) is "I'm not drinking gin again" {Note- this from a woman who was "deathly allergic to alcohol" until after D was born. We discovered it was magically gone quite by accident}
The she took D to the corner store as she ran out of smokes. It's getting quite pathetic. I'm worrying about D this week. If I find her truck gone as much as this week, I'm laying down the law because my daughter is NOT a gypsy who lives at other people's homes. If W wants to do that, fine. My D stays in the family home.

I'll post later when I have more time.

Me? I'm feeling quite good. Look good and feeling quite content with myself. I'm feeling the confidence again.

I had the odd spot over the weekend when the topic moved to my parents and 50 years (and seeing my siblings happy marriages) when we havent hit 50 MONTHS. Our 4 year will be September 6, 2010.

It's really kind of sad that I'm learning what I should have learned 3 years ago. We could have avoided all this. I'm not saying I'm accepting more than my fair share of the blame here but it would have taken just me to begin the changes.

I thought momentarily to talk to W's mom sometime in that I'm not liking to see her condition and attitude drop like this, like her weight. I doubt she's talking to much to W. I'm guessing MIL doesn't know what's going on either. She certainly doesn't have my side of the story. But I don't want to meddle unless it affects D. MIL has early MS so stress affects her quickly and severely. And the way it's going W is going to need all the support she can get.
