Hi folks, W and DD4 are at a birthday party, so I'm updating. So far, so good, this weekend. She called me upstairs last night to talk about her day, and actually touched me, and seemed more upbeat than she has in days.
Not going to this birthday party was actually a bit of a 180 in and of itself. Hairdog the wuss would usually ask, "well, do you WANT me to go to the party?" This time, I just told her that I'd prefer not to go. She said, "Well, what if I talk DD4 into having you take her by yourself?" (Her way of saying, 'I'd prefer to stay home by myself.') I said, "No. I took her to a birthday party by myself two weeks ago. This one is yours."
No argument, no fight.
We'll see how it goes from here. Whenever I think about going back to my wussy self, I think about how bummed I would be if Corri took her studded dog collar back. I look rather fetching in it.
