Our son came back from Iraq with his unit. He was tired and really wanted to rest. My daughter made it a point to show me that her mother was coming but I did not appear excited. I took pictures and just distanced myself. She ended up leaving with my 2 daughters and I went off by myself. I am planning on having a party for Brian over the Labor Day weekend. My wife said to me how can you have a party with no furniture in the house. I did not respond and quite honestly I was not planning on inviting her. I mean why shoud I? If it is a barbecue in the back who cares about the inside. The question is what about the in-laws and I supposed I could invite them and if they say no its their choice to come or not. I am sure they would wonder why my wife was not there but they will figure out I am sure. My wife is studying without a care in the world. She is as happy as a clam and I have to smile and fake it.
