got it

Got the hint.

Mama Llama-dumb move.

Why did I invite him along in the first place? Stupid reasons, actually.

1. Good old fashioned Catholic guilt.
2. Pity.
3. The bad day I was having when I chose to open my mouth in the first place.
4. Guilt.
5. Attemping to spare him the feelings I go through when I see him leave with the kids.
6. Lack of courage to just do it without checking in first.
7. Did I mention guilt?

I think that, come tomorrow morning, he will not be going with. Which is going to make the day all the more enjoyable for me. However, in the well-established tradition of silence between the two of us, the topic has not again been touched.

Today has been a good day; post-softball game (in which my princesita SOCKED the heck out of the softball on the first pitch each inning, thank you very much!) had me showered and watching She-ra's eldest chase a soccer ball around a sunny field; car got washed and Argentine short story read. Chocolate eaten...

Now I am going to go out for dinner, by myself, and see how that goes. I could do take-out to eat here at home, but I am going to force myself into the social realm. And that is about all I have to say today.
