A WW? (8)

[lt0402]

We all end up going to the party today. W offered that her and D would go for 30 minutes, we'd take seperate cars, and I said I'd stay the whole time. D and I were hanging out for a bit without W and I asked D why she didn't want to go. D told me that I know that she's shy and she doesn't like being around all those people. I told D that I know what it's like to be shy and what if I stayed with her the entire time we were there. D seemed to be happy about this and agreed.

We get there and D is cautious around the dogs (cocker spaniel and a 30lb English lab). D has always had a phobia of dogs, somewhat driven by W fear of them. Takes a bit but I get D comfortable with them and she spends a good part of the party petting them. W, D, and I sit down on a couch and chat with my aunt and my sister, her husband, and their 2 yr old. I never leave Ds side and she seemed to have a fun time playing with the dogs and joking around. At one point D makes a joke about "balls" (we are somewhat inappropriate at home) and I tell my aunt "wieners are big in our house", to which W responds "no they are not" and laughs. Couldn't tell if it was a purposeful insult or just a joke from W. who knows and I let it roll off.

D and W stayed for an hour and 15 minutes before leaving on a bad excuse W gave. I walked W and D out and W piled into the car before I could talk to her. I sent her a text msg just saying "Thank you" and got no response. I stay and then make it home about 45 minutes before Ds bedtime. Snuggle on the couch and watch iPad videos with D. W on her phone and doesn't participate. W did get dressed up for the party and she looked really nice. Debated telling her that but I knew the response would not be great. Did drive me a little nuts though. Been awhile.

So, that's my weekend. Meet with Ls this week to discuss options should the house sale lead to S. No clue what to make of Ws conversation today. Still feel stuck in the mud with regards to this thing.
