I'm trying real hard to be the Shepard.

Thanks snodderly and rH! Made it home fine. MIL had a great time with her friend. The friend gave me a big hug, kiss on the cheek, told me how great I was, and how much she loved me. It was a little odd seeing as how I've only been around her for 3-4 hours over the last 12 years. She and MIL are both only children so they think of themselves as sisters. Makes me think MIL told her the sitch and she appreciates what I'm doing.

W told me at least once that she was glad I was home. She has a hard time keeping the boys in check. She also talked about doing/going to places together as a family this summer. Then, later, she texted my brother about an alumni football game at our old high school, trying to get us to play. First time she's communicated with him in months. He and I've talked about the possibility of playing if they ever did this. Based on the fact that we're in our 40's and healthy, we've always said we would not play.

Real strange of her to text him. She's also liked several posts/pics my cousins wife has put on fbook. They are friendly but never have been big friends. I wished I knew what she was thinking.

Watched a movie together as a family this evening. Me and the boys are going to church in the morning for a men's breakfast.
