Running into Bob

Scott is out of town this week, working at his mom's to install hardwood floors.

At first, it was nice to have some time to myself, but now I find myself drinking wine in the evenings, watching Intervention (and crying)... trying to make the evenings go by quicker.

Maggie got sick a little last night, and I hate to think it's because of nerves because Scott is gone.

Last night, I attending a local baseball game with co-workers. Imagine how surprised I was when I saw Connor climbing the stands a little ways away! Apparently Bob (what we call the ex wife when we discuss her in front of Connor) took him to the game with her own co-workers... So, I couldn't help going over and giving him a hug! Then, when they left, she brought him over for another hug.

Scott says that she is fake-nice to everyone, and she acts very overly nice to people and then talks bad about them behind their backs...

After I left the game, I texted her and thanked her for bringing him over to me during the game, and she replied that he talks about me all the time, and that he was talking about me to her and her friends. I replied that he is so easy to love. She texted back that she thinks it's great that he is around so many people that love him, and I replied that I'm grateful for her attitude as well.

If this is all fake-nice, then I'll take it over the other option: a mean, jealous, hateful ex-wife (from another blog ago). According to Scott, Bob is nice until she needs something that you don't wish to give her. So far, she has been fairly pleasant to me. We both have found her irritating at times, only because she doesn't seem to understand what Scott says to her or remember times and dates very well.

As for me, I can be nice... only until someone I love gets hurt. Hopefully, Bob and I will get along. After all, we will be in each other's lives for the next 14 years.
