Well here I am in Chicago, long drives are NOT conducive to PMA or high levels of detachment. D11 and S6 came with and were great on the trip. Staying with M&D, talked for awhile w/ SIL during the drive, will see her and BIL Sat, maybe MIL as well. The big game at my B's place. D11 wants to find face paint before the game. Yes, I brought a camera!
For the last decade or so, I have rarely made that drive alone, it was very sad. At the same time, I think the separation will do us both some good. I have no expectation that it will result in any positive outcomes, but I do think we could both use the space.
We have cont. to be civil, and even laugh at times which I know is really hard for me, and I suspect is not easy for her either. As we were getting ready to leave the kids were giving Mom kisses, I looked at her and made a kissy face, she smiled and said I could get a kiss from the dog. I had to bite my lip to keep from telling her I had always thought she was attractive.
