W called me because S3 was at the sitters and he had a bit of an upset stomach. She asked if I could take him some clothes from my place, so I did (I'm not helping her, but I will gladly help S3 any time he needs it). I asked her if he needed to go to the doctor, and said I would take him if so...but he's feeling fine, no fever, just upset tummy.
I was just coming back from the grocery store when she got here to pick him up. Again, she looked like hell. It's hot, she's tired, and it really shows how run down she feels.
BUT...I took some advice.
I said "Hello. He's got clean pants on now. Does he need more clothes?" She said she didn't think so. I said "Okay."
And then I took my groceries upstairs, put them away, and didn't watch out the window this time.
Just business related to S3.
I got upstairs, and I smiled a little to myself. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this...slowly...
