Monday morning s was complaining he didn't feel good early in the morning . The kids always try to fake sick so I thought was doing the same and had him reading a book while I was in the shower, I heard him yell and he got sick in the living room. He was better a little later so I took him to work with me (I left early Friday because I had 16 hours of extra time in and got a call from a client that they needed a plan done asap so I promised it Monday and had to go in). I let w know and she said she would come get him in a bit. I got sick at work and had to go home too. W texted saying she was coming and then got an attitude when I told her we weren't there. I wonder if she was testing me because I Apologized and told her I was going to text when we got home and then she turned nice. She stopped by the house and I told her s could stay w me since we were both sick. She agreed and said she would come back later. In the meantime I got a call from the school and had to go get d too. It was sad, when I picked her up s said to her, the bad news is we're all sick but the good news is we get to go to dad's house:(
When I texted to let w know she got an attitude again about why the school called me and not her, and went on. I stayed calm and then she turned nice again. She came by later in the afternoon to get them and stayed for an hour or so. When she wanted to leave s started crying, it was obvious he wanted to stay but idk if it hit her through the fog.
She had them home the next day too. I told her to let me know if she needed anything, etc. and I hoped she didn't get it. Since then she's been texting me about little things every day and we even briefly spoke on the phone a few times. I didn't get one text from her and she got a little defensive when I told her because I didn't know what she was talking about. Then she sent me screen shots. I told her it wasn't a big deal and no worries. Then she got nice again. She's also started using exclamations and faces in her texts instead of stone cold minimal words. Last night she called after I talked to the kids to tell me sorry they hung up abruptly and tonight she texted after I talked to them. I wished her a good night and she did the same back.
I'm not having any expectations or getting my hopes up but this change has been nice. I'm trying to to seem to be pursuing, etc. but trying being a little more interactive without overdoing it.
