Didn't post this last night cause I was tired after BB game and was watching Fab Five documentary....
My oldest is in first grade. When my wife packs her lunch she sometimes puts little notes in it telling her to have a good day and that she loves and such. Well I had the kids last week and when I packed my daughters lunch on Thursday I decided to put a note in myself. It read "Have a good day at school, don't pick your nose. Love dad". When I picked her up at school that day we both had good laugh about it.
Apparently daughter left the note in her lunch box and decided to write her own note to my W. I didn't know she did this and she wrote to the W telling her not to pick her nose. While I was watching show last night I looked at my phone and noticed a text message. It was from W saying that she saw the note daughter wrote to her and the one I wrote to daughter and that they both laughed about it. I text back "Its sound advice" and before I even put the cell down she text back "Funny". I left it at that.
A text means nothing. It was nice to get it but its no big deal. BUT when I read DT the first time one of my short term goals was to have the W contact me about something other then the kids. I say this because for the last few years the only time W would get hold of me was to ask for something or it involved plans and such. Never to see how things are going with me or just to say hi.
You know saying to yourself "Uh dummy, the text she sent you was about the kids" but I disagree. This was something I did for my D that did not involve W at all and I never even thought about her making a comment about it. When I read her text I had to think what she was talking about. I few this as small baby step. That is all.
Today, I didn't contact her. When I got off of work I went shopping and bought a new pair of jeans and a couple of shirts. I can't remember the last time I bought clothes for my self. W has done my shopping since we were married. I would wear the same thing for years if she hadn't bought me new stuff. I plan on wearing them tomorrow at dance/dinner.
W did call me today and after an hour I called her back. She wanted to know if I was going to dance/dinner tomorrow. On the message she left she said she wanted to talk about it. I just called back and said I was going and that I would see her tomorrow. When I called to tell kids goodnight I didn't wait to see if she wanted to talk, I just hung up. Will see what tomorrow hold.
