Just journaling here. It's acutally been a pretty good week for a change.
Been a long week and stayed kind of busy though. Hope y'all are having fun up there in the frozen north.
Went to visit a college w/YS this weekend. It was a fairly small, private school, etc... I was kind of trying to talk him into one of the bigger schools that were talking to him, but in the end, I realize it's his decision. Well, he really liked it... liked the coaches, the campus, and the area. They liked him too and offered him a scholarship. It was pretty cool and I was impressed with the facilities given the number of students they had. Anyway, he accepted, so now I don't have to worry about traveling to anymore schools. Assuming he can stay out of trouble and finish high school this year, I can look forward to kicking the last kid out of the house this summer. LOL
W seemed pretty distant when we got home Sunday, but apologized Monday morning(A rare occurence). She had to go back to jury duty Monday and Tuesday, but was off Wednesday, so she got to go with me to YS's game.
I got my truck fixed too! $1800. Ouch! but it's running pretty well. W said I should give it to YS when he goes away to college and get a new one. I'm trying to pretend she didn't say that.
W has seemed somewhat agitated the last couple of days, but she was talkative which I always take as a good sign. She didn't go into her hole. We went to YS's official signing yesterday and then all went out to dinner last night. So far so good.
Oh, get this...She had to go back to jury duty today and before she left, she actually gave me a hug, a kiss and said ILY. I almost had a heart attack. I can't even remember the last time that happened. I think I'll count that as a baby step...at least until she gets mad again.
Been talking to D most everyday. I know she's still down about her breakup w/fiance but she seems to be handling it very well. She goes out and does something...besides school, everyday. Lately she's been at the gym working out and trying to strengthen her leg since it's still sore from the surgery and the Dr. said she can't run on it yet. She hasn't been meeting a lot of people but I think that will come with time.
She just emailed me saying "There's this really cute guy in my class named XXX. He's kind of a hick, so you would like him.".... What kind of crack is that??? I'm not sure what she meant by that last remark, but at least she's noticing that there are other guys in the world. I wish she'd keep those thoughts to herself though and I've told her that before. I'm not really interested in the "cute guys" in her classes...
She did get a new part-time job so that's taken a big weight off her mind. She had to quit her last one when her leg started hurting too much and her fiance was the only one working. When they broke up, she was really worried about the finances.
Actually got to hear from OS several times this week too. That's unusual, he usually only calls after I call him. Mostly too busy chasing women. But he was interested in how YS was doing w/the recruiting and telling me what he's doing and how much he's working now.
Playing for sympathy I think. He's in the reserves and is going to Iraq next month, so now he has to work for a living and is too tired to go partying all night. LOL.
So everyone seems to be content for now. That hasn't happened often in the past couple of years. There's been waaaaay too much drama in this house. I might just celebrate tonight...before the other shoe has a chance to drop...
Well, gotta go and pretend I'm working again. Take care.
