Going the Distance (Saying ILY Pt. 6)

[mtb1981]

Yesterday went as planned. Did the church picnic thing and went to the birthday party. Kids had a blast. manaeged to really not think about W or the anniversary until later that night when I got a Twitter notification on my phone. I haven't used Twitter for ages, and the notification was for W liking a picture of our youngest son I had posted a long time ago. I found this to be odd bevause W was never on Twitter much. I made the mistake of looking at her profile and saw that she had recently posted that night tagging OM in her tweet. It did make me laugh a bit though because it was a retweet from a professional WWE wrestler. OM likes to watch wrestling. W and I always joked around and made fun of people that liked wrestling, but apparently now she's a fan. LOL. I guess it's kind of like love bombing. I've noticed since this all began, she started being interested in the things he was. Things she used to not care one bit about. Looking back, it was the same when she met me. From movies to music to food. Whatever I liked, were all of a sudden her favorite things too. Oh well... I deactivated my Twitter account. I had already blocked her from any other social media, I just forgot about Twitter because I quit using it...

Today my GAL is more of TCB (Taking Care of Business). Need to schedule dentist appts. and physicals for the kids. Also have a wisdom tooth that started coming in a couple of days ago that is causing me issues, so I'm gonna have to deal with that too. Lastly, I think it would be beneficial to get the middle 2 kids (8 and 9 years old) set up with some counseling. I've noticed some behavioral changes since this whole sitch got into full swing. Especially with D9. Some days she has a horrible attitude. When I try to discuss it with her she gets upset and goes off to her room to pout or cry. Most of the time when I go in there to talk to her, she ends up telling me she misses her mom. Yesterday she broke down, and when I asked her why she said it was because the day before when she was at her friend's birthday party, all of the other girls' moms picked them up. She was the only one whose mom didn't pick her up. I do my best to explain to her that we all have each other and she's lucky to have a dad and brothers that love her so much. The other GAL I have today is that I am taking D9 to the mall to get her nails done. Poor girl is surrounded by guys all day. I figured we could do something "girly" together to cheer her up...
