Took my oldest to the early church service; my youngest wanted to stay with W. Had a good service, came home and the W was a mess. She had been crying in the kitchen, then my daughter noticed that her betta fish had jumped out of it's tank and was lying on the counter. My W had been oblivious to this. Gave the fish CPR, and all was well. W was still upset.
I go upstairs to change so I can start mowing, and she's bawling on her side of the bed. I ignore her, change, and go downstairs. Eventually she comes down and asks if we're going to tell the girls about giving away their dog now: I said I'd rather wait until the actual day that's going to happen. She gets even more irritated, and says "I wish you'd stop changing your mind." Of course she doesn't mean just about the dog, but my decision to "encourage" her to move out ASAP.
And being the good little DB'er, I simply say, "You figure out when/what you want to do with the dog and the girls, and let me know," went out and mowed, she took off for the late church service.
So I mowed the lawn, washed my car, did some minor gardening, spent some time with oldest daughter, and the day is young. W works tonight, so when my youngest gets back, I'll take them to pick out school supplies etc. I'm sure that'll chap my W @ss, but it needs to be done, school starts in a week.
