Is there a bottom?

At the Dx appt last week XW also mentioned that the funniest things come out of kids mouths & relayed a story bout a kid that D plays with at S b ball games. The little girl said that her mom get spanked by her dad at bedtime all the time. I just looked at her kinda smiled and said it must be nice and certainly sounds like fun. She got kinda red faced. She's also mentioned fifteen how she's working so much cause she's worried about paying the property taxes $5k+ & hoa dues $5k+.

I don't know if my attitude is starting to affect her. it seems as if she is trying to figure me out. once again on Sat (at soccer games) she invited me to sit with her and again i declined. later on she did the whole "i'm sorry if i offended you" again. and then later she asked if i was mad. both times i smiled at her and said of course not.

i know that she has had a couple of screw ups with the kids that in the past i would have blown up at her about but not anymore. one of them was i was concerned about S having an X box with the internet chat option. well it came back to haunt her as her got involved in a ruor about kids at his school that came out. she's concerned that he may get kicked out. i just told her that i know she's doing the best she can with them and i prolly would've missed the loophole too. she kinda just looked at me. she also said that she had a bad day at work. i told her that i was sorry and i'd be praying for her.

i've made a habit of dressing up and smelling good when she comes to get the kids and leaving before them. my S keeps asking me what i'm doing and i just say i've got plans.

today i taught my D how to ride the bike without training wheels. just another milestone she's chosen herself and selfish interests over. oh well, it's sad but the kids notice these things.
