I had a surpringly nice day yesterday. W had been mad at me last week because she didn't get the kids seats to me and Tuesday morning she was late and I already had them at school. She showed up at the school as I was about to drive off. She was mad and yanking the seats out of her car. I asked why she was mad at me and she said I was making her look bad. I just said it wasnt a big deal and everything was fine. She pointed out a stain out on my shirt and then size I feel better now and her demeanor changed, weird.
That night when she called the kids she asked if she could have a hour on Mother's Day. I told her I was planning on her having them and he whole day and she acted surprised. Idk why she would think that way, I think she is trying to vilify me and possibly being encouraged by mlc friend.
Yesterday she texted in the morning and said she'd be getting there late in the morning but came about a hour earlier. She also thanked me for sending mil and step mil cards and bird feeders the kids made earlier in the week. She said she was going to hang out for just a bit and take the kids for ice cream, seemingly going to make her visit and time short. The kids gave her gifts and cards they made and I gave her a gift certificate for a massage from them too. She was really surprised and happy, she kept bringing it up and I saw her posting a picture of all her stuff. She brought up the massage a few times and was looking the place up during the day. I am glad we could make her day. I was giving her time in the backyard w/the kids and she asked me to come out and said it would be nice for us all to spend time together. We ended up spending all day together hanging w/the kids. Instead of taking them for ice cream sh said she'd rather go get some and bring it back and that she needed to go take her meds and would be back. I didn't ask any questions. i told her I would grill if she wanted so we ended up doing that for dinner but she seemed in a rush to leave early in the evening and said mlc friend got her a present and she needed to go over.
I tried to enjoy the day together without analyzing to much but did listen to a lot of what she said. D was very happy, at one point she was smiling and looking back and forth at us idt w saw it through her fog though. We talked quite a bit and some times things seemed normal but some of what she said was wacky. Like when She told me she was going to borrow her dog so her and mlc friend could take a picture w/their dogs for a Christmas card. i didn't say anything but was thinking you have kids and a family that love you!! There was another time when I was jumping w/the kids and w just had her head between her knees sitting on the deck steps. It's like she's in and out of it lately.
Before she left she told me thank you for everything again, almost like she wasn't worthy. She came over and gave me a hug which really caught me by surprise. She thanked me again and brought up a he massage. I told her she was welcome and she deserved it, I think she mumbled she didn't as she was walking off and we thanked each other for the nice day.
I'm trying not to think to much about it and just treasure the nice day we had but I think one rusty cog may have turned. But again no expectations and keep focusing on me and the kids. The nicer weather has been good for us to get out and keep busy.
