Hi everyone, I hope you all are having a good weekend!
Wrapping up my final hours with my girls for the week, I am sad they will be leaving for the week and although it is nice to have some quiet time I am miss them terribly and all their little noises when they are gone. At this point in time this is what causes most of my anger towards my W.
We had a good weekend. Took them out to dinner on Thursday night and played some games which was fun! We had soccer games yesterday, which they both won and each of them scored a goal so that was great. My W was there and was in a good mood. We discussed an upcoming wedding which was a little awkward. The invitation was sent to our house and we never RSVP'd. The bride reached out to me and asked if we were going. I apologized and said yes although she did not reach out to my W and I didn't say anything to her. The W asked about it on Saturday and I told her the date, she asked if the invitation got sent to the house and I said yes. She then said we never RSVP'd and I told her that the bride reached out to me directly and left it at that. I assume she read between the lines but it's not my job to invite her, look out for her or explain it to her.
At our D's second game she sat next to me and at one point in time reached out and touched me. Which is very abnormal for her but I just brushed it off and acted like it wasn't nothing. Saturday night one of my D's went over to a friends house so I took my oldest out for yogert. They like to add their own toppings so it was fun to watch!
This morning we went to church and now they are just playing with each other as I watch football. Tonight they have choir practice and then after practice we are volunteering at the church to make xmas presents for underprivledged families that get shipped overseas. I am looking forward to it not only for the girls but also because it was one of my personal goals. I texted the W and told her we were volunteering and asked if she could pick them up 1 hr later and she said no problem.
I am taking pride in this as I feel I am moving on with my life and providing structure for my girls. I am not trying to comete with her to be a better parent but I know she is not doing these things with them so if nothing else I know I am carrying on with the family structure which I know at this age they really need.
I only hope she will wake up in time so she can enjoy these things with us but at this point in time I am happy with where I am at with the girls and myself personally. I will admit though that I do miss my W.
