W and kids stopped over this morning while I was having breakfast. She always looks so tired. She said they had plans for the day (d mentioned last night they had to stay out of the house all day but I didn't push the subject, quite strange though) and were going to go out to breakfast. The kids asked if there was any bacon, I told them no but told w I could make some if she wanted. She said sure, if you want to make them breakfast that is fine (I've always made weekend breakfasts for us). I asked if she wanted breakfast too but she declined after thinking about it s few seconds. We talked while I made breakfast and the kids ate.
During this time I offered to give her money for groceries or whatever since she had the kids most of the time, she said no she was doing fine and it started to be slightly awkward, but I just said I don't mean anything by it but the offer is on the table if you want it. She said thanks and we dropped it. I also asked about her dad and told her my sister was expecting. She told me to tell her congratulations then asked if I thought it was alright for her to let her know herself. I told her yes and that there were no ill feelings from my family. She scoffed and I told her "honey (whoops, it slipped) I have told them very little", which is true. I don't want her to feel she can never come back or want them to be judge mental. She looked relieved. We talked a little more and she asked if I wanted to go with them to a rock/fossil show where she was taking the kids to meet with son's friend's family. I told her I didn't want to interrupt her day but she said it was okay so I accepted. She cleaned a spot in her car while I ran to the bank. Omg she's trashing her car like a teenager. We had small talk and it went well but we did separate most of the time we were there but did talk a little while looking at some jewelry. She brought me back before they went to lunch but wasn't in a hurry or anything so I think it went well.
Still remembering to keep my expectations at zero but it was a nice morning.
