Had a very good night last with W and kids. My SD had cheer practice and she had forgotten her shoes at the house and W wanted me to meet them so she could get them for practice. In all honesty i didn't want to meet so i dropped shoes off at front desk of YMCA for her and told W that i had grass to cut and that i had dropped shoes off at front desk for SD and then i asked her what she and other D8 and D3 were going to do.

W: that they might come out to our house while i cut grass

M: well we could take the girls to the park or something.

W: I thought you were going to cut the grass

M: I can put off mowing to be with my girls

W: ok we can go to the library i haven't been there in forever

M: ok sounds good....i'll meet u there

W: well i'm gonna clean the blazer out u want me to pick u up at the library or u want me to text u when i'm done?

M: I was gonna get subway, i'll meet u there at the car wash

W: ok

M: what did you guys eat?

W: we didn't

M: I thought u did?

M: you wanna go get something?

W: no we didn't have dinner yet....sure

M: Where @? The hut?

W: k

M: meet ya there babe

So we eat at pizza hut and while we are there we talk a little bit about our upcoming vacation and our D3 is acting up and not listening so i take her out of the eating area to sort of calm her down tell her that she needs to be good and eat her dinner to which she says ok i will, which i know she's fibbing, so we go back in and while i'm putting her in her seat W says "and i'm texting my sister if you must know" I said "no" and that was the only thing that was muttered about OM.

So after we eat i go with them to help clean out the blazer and we are helping out, D8 is running the vacuum. So after we clean out the inside we go to wash the outside and the floor mats. First we let D8 & D3 scrub and wash the floor mats with the brush and hose, D3 gets a hoot out of this. I help D8 spray the car and in the process i take the hose and spray W with a little bit of water. She laughs and smiles as we play around with it.

I let D8 finish washing the car. W notices a new crafts store beside the car wash and she says she wants to check it out so i pick W up and while i'm carrying her we race D3 to the store, of course she wins. She checks it out and we decide to go back and i have my back to her and invite her to get on my back which she does. I carry her over and she stays on my back for a while. We watch D8 finish and she turns the hose at us and sprays us and her sister several times with everyone laughing and having a lot of fun. I put W down and we hugged and i asked her for a kiss to which she obliged, we kissed a couple of times, some were pecks and a couple were passionate kisses.

We go to pick up SD and she mentions how she wants to check out the new store and i say why would like something for our house to which she says I would like some outside furniture for our porch, we've never had furniture for our porch at our house. I said ok. We pick up SD after her practice and W mentioned about going to have ice cream, to which the girls are excited about. We have ice cream and we sit and talk as a family about our upcoming vacation and stuff. I have a hockey game so she takes me to my car and i give all the girls a kiss and tell them i love them. I go around and W rolls down window and we kiss, and we say our goodbyes.

After my hockey game i text W

M: i had fun tonight

W: yep it was fun.... did you win your game?

M: no we lost 11-6....we fell apart in the 3rd period

After this it's just little chit chat for a couple of minutes. All in all it was an awesome night. Just trying to keep an even keel about all of it but it's hard not to be hopeful. Still praying and hoping.
