S12, D17, and I are watching Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring tonight. D19 is out with a friend.
I tried making Carmel coated popcorn twice but it didn’t work. The sugar melted and burned in the pan each time. D17 made pumpkin pies with a little help, put whip cream on it, and served it to us as we began.
D17, ”Ugh, this doesn’t taste right. It’s not sweet at all.”
G, ”Um, did you add the sugar?”
D17, ” Shut up! Shut up! You were supposed to be helping me. It’s your fault! It’s NOT funny! Stop laughing!”
S12 and I are laughing. It takes a few minutes but she eventually laughs too. We put spoonfuls of sugar over the top and it tastes fine.
Where are their hearts…
Half an hour into the movie, XW shows up and messages the kids for goodnights 2 hours early at 730p. She didn’t show up last night. I assume she messaged the kids. I believe she indicated the next 20 weekends or so she has craft fairs to sell at with her booth.
S12 with some annoyance, ”What is she doing here now? It’s way too early?” D17 reluctantly and thinking, ”Come on S12, … … We’ll say good night and then we can come back in and finish the movie””
D17 came back in 5 minutes later saying S12 will be in right behind. S12 came in with XW as she needs restroom stops. OK, sure, normal human kindness. S12 seems disturbed and to want her to stay. He was always a bit of a momma’s boy. This split and her substantial absence has caused him sleep issues and more. She says no, I have to go, you’ll be sad to miss the movie, and out she goes with a back and forth of “I love you more.”
