It amazes me every time I come on this site and see so many people, who have never even met me, give me so much support that obviously comes right from the heart. THANK YOU TO ALL!!
Well this was my weekend without my D2, so headed to my uncles 2 hours away to help him do some logging on his land. My W texted me to tell me she was going to come over to get our D2 sled and asked me if I was home. I just texted back that she had mail on the counter and that I wasn't home. I went to work in the woods and didn't get back to my phone until noon, when we broke for lunch. I had 3 missed calls from her and texts asking were the sled was. She left me an angry vm, saying how mad she was that I wasn't answering my phone. I called her back but she didn't answer. I left her a vm that told her that I was working and not at her beck and call. I also told her that had she told me about the sled even a day before, I would have had it out for her.
She called back shortly, telling me that she had to go buy a new sled and that this was just like me to never answer my phone. I told her the same points I did in the vm. The conversation was tense but in the end I told her to enjoy her day with our D2. This put a damper on the rest of my day. I just kept playing the situation over and over in my mind. That night I decided to text my W, as we often do, to see how our D2 is doing. Which I feel has become a way for each of us to break the ice and start a conversation. Anyways, she sent me a long response, first telling me our D2 was fine, then preceding to appologize for her vm. She said that once she knew I was working, she understood why I couldn't answer. Also that she was frustrated because me had not often answering my phone has always been an issue for us. She is right. I always knew this bothered her but was foolish and ignored her when she would tell me how much it bothered her. I have realized this and have been trying hard to correct it. I texted her acknowledging that this had been a problem and reminded her that I now rarely miss a call. we shared a couple other nice textes about our D2 and then wished each other good night.
Tonight she called me to talk about some changes in our D2 day care schedule. We taLked about the upcoming snow storm. I made a remark about how I can never snowblow the driveway when I had our D2. My W actually said she would come over and watch our D2 while I got the driveway cleaned out. We chatted a little more and I made sure I was the one to end the conversation.
I feel I am beginning to see small signs from her which is encouraging. I am keeping my cool and working on patience. I truly believe that if I had read DR a year ago, I wouldn't be in this situation. I will post my list of goals on here soon and keep everyone updated. God Bless
