When I first discovered that I was able to get a day off work every other week, I was excited. I had visions of sleeping late and spending time doing nothing in particular, maybe writing some more to my many much neglected stories or just spending some quality time with my NeoPets... Alas, this was not to be. Two weeks ago, Mike planned a wonderful shopping excursion for my very first day off. I got some nice things that day (even if I did end up giving away the brand new cell phone), but I was looking forward to doing absolutely nothing of any significance today. I should have known better...
My plans (or lack thereof) began to come unravelled on Sunday with the sudden reappearence of "the estranged one." After weeks, perhaps even months of completely avoiding me, suddenly he wants to be with me. He shows up again on Monday, deciding to make plans for a family outing on my day off, dinner and a movie for me and the boys, his treat! Believe me, that is really out of character for him. That man never pays for anything, unless it has to do with hunting or bowling or playing pool. Even when we were together, paying for family outings was always MY responsibility. Who was I to pass on this golden opportunity? I agreed to his plan.
Last night he shows up to finalise the plans. We check movie theaters for showtimes online and decide to catch an early afternoon showing of Madagascar and have an early dinner. Plans made, but does he leave? Hell, no! He sticks around to watch a movie on Cinemax with Mike and me. Every ten minutes or so, he checks to see if Mike has fallen asleep. Thank God for the boy's insomnia! When I say that man suddeny wants to be with me, I mean it in the biblical sense, and I don't think I can handle that. The slut has obviously dumped him...
Dinner and the movie were nice. We dropped him off at his Mom's afterward (further evidence that Disgusting Darla is done for). I wonder what he is up to. What does he want from me? This sudden change in his personality scares me...
