Serve the servants: Wayward Wife & LRT (7)

[Defacto]

Asitis,
Thanks for the support! Hope you had a great holiday.

Journaling:
Yesterday was a very slow day at work, as expected. I couldn't wait to get home to see the kiddos. I made small talk with MIL when I got home. Then I showed D4 and MIL the clothes I picked up for the kids while on my lunch break.

After I made dinner, the kids and I headed over to meet up with some friends at the local July 4th event. The kids had a blast running around the golf course, eating ice cream, and watching the fireworks. I held my kids close as they stated in awe up at the sky. I loved it as much as they did.

STBX didn't call but she did text to see how the kids enjoyed the fireworks. I replied that they loved it.
Her response:
"Awwww pics?"
"Sure. Here's a couple..."
(I sent four pics, two of which included me)
"Awww!!!!!! Those are beautiful!!!! I wish I was with you guys!"

I didn't reply to her last TM.

I also posted a different picture of the kids and I to Instagram last night. This morning STBX "liked" it and commented "I love this!!!!"

Anyway, trying not to read too much into STBX's enthusiastic response to the pictures from last night. But it does feel good to know that she misses being together with the kids sometimes.

Not sure what today will bring. I'm kind of tired from a six day work week. Might just lay low with the kids until I drop them off to STBX this afternoon. However, I definitely plan on watching the World Cup final tonight with some friends.
