Another weird day in the world of MLC!!! OK, so this morning my D14 had a dance event. She just started doing this a few weeks ago and this was her first "event" where she will dance in public. She stayed at her mom's last night because it started really early. At noon there was going to be a "show" where D14 was going to have a small part in. I was supposed to pick her up after and get there in time to see my D14's part. On my way I get a text from W. She asks if I had gotten there yet. I text back I was on my way and would be there in 5 min. I get there and I get another text as I was parking saying D14 was getting ready to start. I get in just in time to see my D14's group do their part. It was great, she looked like she was really having fun!
There were a few more groups after hers and as I made my way up to the bleachers I hear someone call my name. It was my W and she saved a seat next to her and asked me to come sit with her. She told me that she recorded D14's routine FOR ME. (Uh?). Wow, that was really nice of her and I thanked her. She made a little small talk and it ended. We both went down to get D14, talked to some of her friends, etc. As we were leaving, I said I would meet them at her house so I could pick up D14 and her dog as I have her until tomorrow.
I get to her house just after they do and D14 wants to eat, change and get her stuff together before leaving. So, I was there for about 20-30 min's. My W was really nice the whole time. She showed me some new plants her father gave her (he owned a nursery for years), she also showed me a violet she was trying to grow from a clipping. This is something her grand mother used to do and I mentioned that. She said that was why she was doing it and that she wants to find some "hobbies" and the plants were one she thought she would like. She told me that she was going to a baby shower for one of her friends from work later and after that she was having a group of her friends over to play dominos. She told me about a cake she was going to bake and even showed me a new cookbook she got it from. She was being like her old self and we talked and laughed and she seemed to enjoy my company! At one point she even offered to make me a grilled cheese since D14 was taking a long time to get ready. (I said no thanks). She was really nice and thanked me for coming as I left.
Talk about different! This was the W I remember from before her MLC. She wasn't looking to say how I was wrong about anything I said, she was friendly and seemed to want my opinion and listen to what I said. For the last 2 years she has always seemed to want to argue about little things, find something "wrong" about anything I said, just seemed to want to disagree or put me in a bad light...not today. She also seemed while not "happy", more content than she has been lately. She wasn't all tense like she was just yesterday when she had to come and let the dog in. I could actually LIKE this person.
So, tonight I remembered that I had read something that she would be interested in and forgot to tell her today. So, I took a chance and texted her that I knew she was busy but I had read this and wanted to tell her because I thought she would be interested. I didn't expect her to text back as she has friends over. Well, she did and was nice, asked questions and thanked me for letting her know. Made me glad I texted as I wanted to show that I appreciated that she was so friendly today.
So, not sure what this change was about. I don't expect it to stay this way but I will say it is nice. I know I have to not expect her to keep being like this but I can say it would sure make things easier if we could interact like this all the time!
