had another good day with WAW today. Started off with her calling last night and offering the kids to me for my family's x-mas party, of course I said yeas.so I met her and picked up th kiddos. I made sure I was all dapper... sport coat, nice jeans, cologne, fresh shave and 30lbs lighter than when she left. she dropped off the kids and I asked if I could keep them for Mass, and she sais yeah. I told her there is always a seat available for one more at church (temp taking). me and the boys went to mass and I invited her to breakfast for the kid exchange and she accepted. it was nice seeing her and SS18 again (although I see him when coaching hockey all the time). we parted ways , but I couldn't help but notice she was smiling again the whole time!!. I did some more temperature taking by apologizing for not binging some of her old Christmas ornaments with me to give back. I asked if she wanted me to drop them off or just wait till next year to see if we have x-mas together.... she answered.. "I'm not ruling that out"... My heart almost stopped!!!!. then a few hours after, we start some innocent texting banter back and forth regarding going to a chick flick sometime.. and she asked if I was chipping in for the popcorn.
It seems that creating a lighthearted and easy environment is really working out!!! we will see what the next few weeks hold, but fingers are crossed. I also lightheartedly expressed a few things that I have learned about being selfish in the past, and only doing the things that Ive always wanted to and my willingness to compromise. she said she was proud!!!
any thoughts???
