A New Day

[Lifes Twists]

Things are fairly quiet here as we prepare for Christmas. The tree is up and decorated. The girls are having the usual spats that ten sisters have. My middle one is trying to through things at me to see if she can get a rise out of me, basically testing me. I tell her she is an adult now and has to make her own decisions.

An interesting interaction happened between me and my girls the other day. I went out after Thanksgiving with some of my class mates. One of them sent a picture of us sitting at a table in a local bar. I enjoyed myself greatly and decided to put the picture as the background on my laptop. There are 5 of us in the picture, 3 woman and 2 men. My girls saw it and immediately started to ask me questions. I told them that I had a right to go out and enjoy my self. My middle one asked me which was my girlfriend. I was vague and asked her why would it matter. She responded ," So I know who to be bitchy with." I was a bit shocked at this response. She has been in my face that her mom has a right to do things. I don't really know how to read this. Is she feeling that someone may get between her and me? Is she secretly hoping my wife and I will get back together? I don't plan on clearing anything up for now. I want to see where it leads.
