The past few days have been ... just a little 'tense'. W is pretty moody with the PMS thing hanging around, I however am thankful it happened now vs being trapped in a vessel with limited escape hatches!!
Besides this, I have noticed S a bit as of late. Not that he is acting out but I realized over this crisis one of the great things that came out of it other than MY personal growth was the bond and relationship between he and I. So yesterday thinking about this ... W just happened to call from work to remind me she had a IC appt, would not be home till 6:30 or so. SO I told W I was going to take out S to dinner, just he and I, as I felt we needed a little Father Son time, and we would meet up with her at home after, then went on and said I have a Softball game early Thursday (today) and would get him dinner, take him with me so she could have some 'her' time. She lit up, "Really" I said yeah .. I know you have been wanting to get a jog in, and as much as we talked about doing that together, its not always easy, go to the beach and jog, do your thing .. whatever .. S loves coming to my games and we will meet up later.
So S and I went out last night, BBQ ribs and just were two dudes out eating caveman style. He polished off a man-plate of ribs (I almost ruined it by telling him they ran out of real ribs so they used dog) and chugged 2 Dr Peppers and attempted to break the 8 year old belching record ... while his father ate a tri-tip salad ... yep still watching that waistline .. 10 lbs to go. When we got home S hoped in the shower, W was still tense but we talked it out. S was on cloud nine .. which eased W up a bit.
This morning W was in a better mood but flipped quick over 2 socks on the floor in the bedroom (I had JUST taken them off before getting in the shower) ... this was old M stuff ... things like that bug her however the pile of her clothes seem to disappear in her mind, I calmly pointed this out, also reminded her that her constant "Be Positive" remarks toward me could very well be used by her as an example .. I was PMA but tossed a few truth darts ... left as she was getting ready to water the plants, feed the dog, take out the trash .. my morning rituals ... she later apologized and was sorry she was so moody lately. Hugged me and again said she was sorry, but looking forward to the trip and getting away .. I smiled and told her "Don't forget to pack 'Fun-Girl'... Have a nice day" and I left.
Looking forward to this vacation, have an eye glued on funds, but should be ok as long as we do not go all bannana-sandwich on food and souvenirs
