Mission 25. I Really Mean it this time>

[ninelives]

Thanks for the re empahshis of Sandi's post. Even though i think she gets exasparated by me actions sometimes, that is one poster I listen to carefully and try and follow to the letter.

I have slipped up due to my emotions but I am trying.

Saw her around 4pm today as I was at BIL's talking to hm about his day with youngest son. He decided to take my son fishing this morning instead of school for the morning. Apparently, they are really biting. He got 7 big rainbows.

She pulls up with the van. I have some errands to run so I leave immediately and she doesnt acknowledge me, and I dont her.

But I did see her. She looks a little rough. I forgot about the new strategy but didnt really see a good opportunity there.


So later I decide to try out the new strategy. She aske if she could drop young son off today as she works nights, I was getting ready for MOnday volleyball and decided to take the bike.

HEr shift starts at 730 and so does volleyball. Im on my bike and riding toward the school and she is driving towards my house.

She drives by me without a wave, I turn the bike around to talk to young son. As she pulls out of my driveway, her van is sideways. I rev the engine and pretend to accelerate towards her stopping at least 20 feet from the van. A playfull gesture.

She smiles at me and I wink at her. That was it. The only contact I have with her today.

I guess its a start.

As I go to practice, I notice his truck out front of her house.

This is going to be a long drawn out "battle". I hope I have the fortitude to pull it off.

JUst got home from VOlleyball and have to mark. Told students that If i didnt return papers tomorrow, they would all receive 100%/
