The Waiting One (and tired of it)

[Atsbaby]

So Clark texts me while I'm at the movies, which I don't get until after I'm out, "are you coming home before the game or just going straight over?" "Doesn't matter, just asking"

Nosey little fella! So I meet them at the field and Clark is just so short and grumpy with me...DB'ed my @$$ off and remained happy, talking with d9. Not really sure what crawled up where ever, but asked d9 if he was like this all day. She said no, only until after they came home.

Don't want to mind read, only thinking and trying to figure out (Why? I don't know. I have nothing else better to think about...lol!). So is he upset cause I'm not there? He trying to figure out what I'm doing? He mad at himself?

So he remained grumpy and distant during the game, but he chose to sit next to me, again, not sure why. As we were leaving, both the kids began walking with me and in a snotty type voice asked if I was taking both of them. Guess so, since they are walking that direction. Stayed positive and didn't snap...180!

So, shouldn't have but did, I expected him to be following shortly after...duh! Then 30 minutes later calls the house. I'm fuming, because, duh expectations, I think he's calling to tell the kids goodnight.

Surprise! "Just wanted to let you know I was still coming over. Got stopped by one of the coaches. It was an interesting conversation. I'll tell you when I get there." I remained pleasant and told him I figured he'd talk to all his buddies, and that it was ok. Clark had surprise in his voice that I didn't chew him out...another 180!

Then it was me, me, me once he was home. D9 wanted to talk to brother about something and asked politely if she could interrupt Clark to ask. He took a deep breath and rolled his eyes, but actually let her talk! I think he is even making baby steps.

We'll see how tomorrow turns out. I start class and shouldn't have much interaction with him...hopefully out of sight out of mind! Really trying hard to detach and stay positive.

By the way, totally agree with whoever saw Boyhood. It was a good movie.
