Detach Dog

[ninelives]

She is doing some strange things now that I cant figure out.

So I will just let them all go and not focus on them too much.

When I got home from school today, i saw oldest son and he said , " Do you know where dog is "?

M: No I obvioulsy dont have her

S: Do you think mom took her , cause leash is gone too.

M: Probably, she asked me before we left for trip if she could have her for the day, I asked your friend ( who was looking aftr dog) to drop her over to my wifes place a couple of times.

I thought to myself, I better start locking my doors. This a boundry that she has crossed before, this is not her house anymore.

I told son that I think we should lock doors, just so we can keep better track of whats going on, he agreed.

She then called later and told oldest son to pick up dog. He said, no, dad and I are cleaning up around here and since you took him , you should bring him back. He didnt say it in a mean or snarky way, just matter of fact. IT was a short convo and she agreed.

She then showed up with dog, and asked oldest son if she could have youngest sons shorts. I found two pairs but others are in laundry.

She also brought back a blender, a can opener and some pics from her mothers of me and the kids when they were growing up. Me doing so many things with them, boxing, teaching them to skate, to ride their bikes, playing with them in a pool etc...

Teared me up a little. Wonder how she felt looking at them.

I just cant figure her out. I stayed positive with my son about her and didnt bad mouth her. I dont think that mentioning we need to lock up was bad because , we are going to lock up tommorrow and he needs his key.
