Yes R2C - after not initiating any text or calls today after morning her morning texts, I just did my nightly call to kiddos. I was happy, upbeat, was curious about their day (used the, "tell me about your day" as suggested) asked about her day, gave her an update on mine. She was fairly short in her responses, but in all fairness, they were finishing up dinner and starting their routine for bed. Overall, she shared some enthusiasm about my work and seemed upbeat. Kids told me she was trying to clean the kitchen, clean up a spill in the refrigerator, and get S11 to finish his dinner. So, I kept it short and said, ok, I'm going to head back and finish up some things and let you guys get into your night time routine. Bye, hope you guys have a good rest of the night. She said, you too, talk to you soon.
