What a great morning! New posts from DB buddies and W was asleep when I left home. I left a B-day card on her dresser--just a simple card marking her 39th B-day. It was not H to W, and signed merely, "Love Merrick." Laurie and decided that this was the most likely way to minimize a negative reaction (no card would make her mad, and something stronger would make her mad).
Betsey, the Isles start tomorrow, and I'll bet if Briget wants to see her first hockey game, there are plenty of guys that would taker her.
I have a real busy day at work and will meet W, family, and friends later for dinner.
The next likely storm is tomnorrow night after W comes home from another dinner with her friends. Our houseguests will be gone and all the emotions W is keeping bottled up while they are here will rush to the surface. My prediction is that when W gets home late, she will pursue me in the basement/bed/couch (wherever I am) angrily as opposed to empathetically seeking comfort. However, I will be ready with detached compassion--which will not be enough and she will begin to cry, beg , and swear about what I am doing to her and the kids. After that, this time I'll try a loving hug and is she resists, all I'll say is that I'm here if she wants me--then leave. If I'm wrong and she is more subdued, I'll count that as a victory and enjoy the reprieve, but I will be prepared. Have a great day everyone.
