Saturday was D7's soccer game. STBX came to see her. He was watching D3 on the playground, while D7 was horsing around with her teammates waiting for our match to start (the previous game was running late). One of them stepped on a wasp's nest and the wasps swarmed the girls. D7 was stung/bitten at least 8 times and half my team got at least one sting. I ran over to help her (she was covered and screaming like a banshee to "get them off of me!"), immediately got stung 5 or 6 times and then STBX came over and got stung a couple of times. I was glad he was there (since he lives closer now he can come to more games) - so he could help comfort and calm D7 (I still had to coach). After we went home he texted a few times to check on her (he had to go to work) and then tried to Facetime, although the timing never quite worked out. However, the next day she texted him in the morning....no response...I texted letting him know she really wanted to hear from him and he finally touched base around 6 that night when he was at work again. Somehow I found that a little troubling - but I let it go.
His mom is coming out to visit this week for D3's birthday (gotta update my signature again). This should be interesting. She's come out 3 times since BD and each time she has stayed with me, and only seen him very briefly. This time, now that he lives back in town, she will still stay with me but probably spend most of Wednesday through Friday with him (his weekend). Another step towards a little more civil relationship (hopefully).
