Had a great week with the kids in Bahrain and made some wonderful memories. Kids never asked for mum at any point, were happy to see her when we got back and tell their stories of course. They did speak to her once in the phone, I just left the phone on the table and went out on the balcony, didn't talk to W at all. Drive home went fine, kids mostly talked to her. I did bring up my next trip away with the kids, taking them away again in August for 2 weeks. I didn't ask W any questions about her week, she told me she put about 600km on the car, I just answered no problem. She also told me about a weeks holiday she wants to take to meet one of her old girlfriends, I know she has been planning to do this for several months. Again I just replied no problem, didn't ask where she was going.
Dropped the kids and her at her place and left. Received 2 texts this morning about the kids not having rain coats and if I could drop them at daycare, although 2nd text opened the door to go see her and take them to her. I dropped them at daycare. Have felt that she is testing the waters with these little reach outs for me to question or see her. Don't actually feel the need to or even the desire to these days.
Feel really good, just moving on. Will miss the kids this week but need to get some training done so ok with the extra time to do that. Long weekend coming up, working on my plans for that. Haven't made any as yet but have a few things in mind.
