Update: It's been a crazy couple of days, so nothing much happening. Thursday night S18 had a Spring Formal to go to, and W and I had choir practice. The formal was in the next city over, about a 40-minute drive each way, and started at 7:00 (theoretically) - choir practice started at 8:00. So we drove S18 and his GF to the formal, came back for choir practice (which we were only about 10 min. late for), then about 40 min break at home after practice only to go back to pick up S18 and GF at 11:00, and bring them home. The only saving grace was we managed to get gasoline at 75.9 cents/litre just before it jumped to 84.9 cents/litre. I filled the tank. Then Friday I had an all-day session at work... "team-building", using stuff from a company called Thomas International. Some of you may have heard of them (particularly SD). The scary part was we did a Personality Profile, (DISC - Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance). I was WAY high on Dominance, and low on the others, in stark contrast to most others on the team, save my boss and my boss' boss. I felt unmasked, and had a hard time feeling comfortable a lot of the day. On the good side, though, this exercise gave me a LOT of material for self-examination and self-confrontation. It should help me increase my differentiation.
I was hoping last night would be a nice relaxing time that might lead somewhere, but no, there were still kids to bring places, and W informed me at one point that she's still having trouble with itchiness - she said she needs to get some Vagisil. However, both nights there was some really nice, loving kissy-face at bedtime, so we'll see.
This morning was busy, with month-end stuff, then a funeral to play guitar for (the husband of one of our choir members), then S12's first softball game of the year. And I just got back from having MY first in-car with S18. Whew!! It's been an eventful couple of days. Hopefully I'll have something better to report by the end of the weekend...
