Monday I attended a funeral for a client I have worked with for the last 9 years. Great lady that unfortunately passed without warning the day before her 43rd birthday. She was very influential in her field and left a huge hole in the small community where she lived. Left behind too much family and too many friends. Her service really put things into perspective for me and what I think is important. In order to attend the funeral the MIL picked up the kids from school and I got them later from her. She was awesome and picked up dinner for the kids too.
Tuesday we had a little fiasco with the kids. Wife called and said the children's center told her our oldest might have pink eye and needs to have a release from a doctor to come back to school. The W had meetings and couldn't take him. I rushed to school and we walking into the center together and pickup up the oldest. I took him to the nearest clinic, doctor looked at him and said... yep allergies. He has bad allergies, like mom, but they were gun shy because our youngest had pink eye two weeks ago. So two hours and a signed note from the doctor later he was back at school.
During this time I call wife and tell her the update as we are heading back to school. She asked to take kids tonight to middle niece's b-day party, she would pick the kids up from school. Not an issue with me and the kids would love the party and visit with family. At 3:30 I get a text that she is not going because of weather issues, it was snowing hard on and off all day, and I would get the kids. I get the kids, head home and start cooking us dinner.
When about finished cooking the W calls and said her SIL is mad at her and since the sky is now blue and sun shinning again, she wants to take them to party again. Once again I say okay. She shows up and dinner was ready, but kids had not ate yet. She apologized and said that they could stay and eat if I wanted. I tell her no, it is okay, I am sure they will have food etc and the party and to head out.
W gets back at 8:45, she had to leave a little early because it was snowing hard again. Oldest fell asleep and she carried them in, youngest was awake and asking about fruit snacks. W was nervous looking when she left because our youngest has trouble when she leaves him. When she drops him off at school he puts up quite a fuss and cries about her leaving. At night he gives her grief and is up and down and cries at her, sometimes throwing a fit.
Well when she left he just said bye mom and gave her a kiss, didn't put up a fuss. Don't know what W was thinking, but she did a little dancing a hesitating that seemed a little uncommon for what she has done in the past. Her face did not make it seem like she was feeling confident or owning her feelings.
She said they came home earlier and didn't watch presents getting opened or have cake because of the weather. When she got home she sent me a text saying there was a blizzard at her house.... Okay, weird to share this when most of the contact I get is "kids were good" and things like that. Maybe she is thinking about things and her decisions she has made. Who knows... Only her I guess.
