Starting a new thread as requested.
Journaling-
Interesting weekend. W's sister had a hayride/party on Sat. We were both invited and W had not said anything about going. BIL told me to come no matter what W decides to do. So, after getting home from an all day long fishing trip, I played with the kids for a while and made small talk with the W. She had taken the kids clothes shopping and showed me what she bought and asked what I thought of the new clothes. I said they all looked good and complemented her on the things she had bought and for finding sales on almost everything.
About 6:00, I got in the shower and then got dressed. I got out the iron and was pressing a new shirt when she came in the bedroom and asked what I was doing. I said I was going to her sister's party and then going to the wedding that we were invited to. I asked if she was going to the party and she said no. She asked if I was leaving now and I said as soon as I got ready. I went and told the kids goodbye and as I was getting my keys, W asked if I wanted anything to eat, she had made supper. I said, thanks, it smells good but I would eat later.
Had a good time at the party. W's family was friendly and I sat and ate with her mom and dad. Didn't go on the hayride but had a few beers and talked and ate. I went to the wedding and saw a lot of old friends and had a good time there, too. I got home a little before midnight and she was in bed for the first time in about a week. I fell right to sleep.
We got up Sun. and went to church. She said her mom was having a cook out. I asked what time she was leaving and she said right after church and that I was welcome to come. I did go and had fun. I probably should have said I had other plans. Anyway, it was good other than W pretty much ignoring me. I mingled with her family and joked and laughed and she was the one who looked pretty foolish sitting there like a bump on a log. The kids played with their cousins and our two little ones came to me when they needed something as they usually do.
I did hear back from the house I put a bid in on. They rejected my bid but made a counter offer for $5000 more. I really wish I could find something to rent but there is nothing in the area. This house is BIG and cheap. It would take some work but would be worth it. I need to bite the bullet and just do it. If things change in my sitch, we could sell one of the homes, hopefully. I need to look out for me and the kids.
