More points to ponder...

[wishing, hoping]

Thanks AJ. I thought dropping the rope would be hard. Cutting it....seems impossible.

See D had another soccer game today. I stayed away from church because honestly I was too wiped to go to early service and I had a boatload of things to do today. I finished weeding the flower bed, went to the laundromat, put away all laundry, went to the hardware store, made Mexican brownies for Cinco de mayo, chopped onions and tomatoes, made baked chocolate chip pancakes (which the kid's loved btw) and did and put away a load of dishes. So by 4:00 I was ready for a break. When I got there I went by S and his GF and another of their friend. We chatted and then they started kicking the soccer ball around. I was standing by myself cheering on D and H came by me. Started friendly talk to me. Yes, me. Chatting so nice about D and S. Really? It felt awkward. I wanted to walk away but did not want to appear rude so I stayed and said nothing. After a while I felt it would be okay to walk away and I did and charted to another mom. I almost felt sorry for H. Almost.

When I picked up D later H invited me in the house. I gave the dog lots of love and D was upstairs playing. Why?? Not sure. He normally has her ready when I get there. He asked me to come upstairs because she was playing with legos and wanted me to see what she was making. It was weird. But honestly I felt nothing for the house. Nothing. Almost relief to be out of it. H had given D a bath and had her dressed in pajamas which irritated me because I could give her a bath. And the pjs were too small. But I shook it off and letD rode her bike when we got home and let her help put some rocks back in the garden and getting some nasty nettles out of the yard. So I didn't have to give her a bath so I actually got to spend more time with her. And I have plenty of pjs for her so we just changed into new pjs when we came in.

S has a soccer tournament next weekend. I am hoping H doesn't get a hotel room and stays with OW. Not that I need to see her face there, but I don't want to endure H at the pool when I'm trying to relax. I asked S if he and his dad were getting along better and he said kind of. But The kid's are a lot like me, in their taste and their sense of humor, which gives H a lot of grief.

Heading off to dream land...
