Weekend Plans

Nov 12/15

So after my daughters game ended on Monday night I was walking out to the parking lot with her and her boyfriend L, she has jettisoned A to give L his 4th or 5th chance lol.

As we were walking out the door she gave me her game time for the Sunday team, she is playing on 3 different teams and might be as addicted to soccer as her dad is to golf, and asked if I would be there and I sort of hesitated before responding. She picked up on it and asked if I had a hot date and I laughed and said "No, it's just Sunday would have been my one year anniversary with C"

She asked what that had to do with anything and I said I wasn't sure but who knew what could happen. Hearing this she stopped in her tracks and gently took my arm while saying "Dad, you can't be thinking about giving her another chance, that's crazy as she just keeps hurting you"

Hearing those words and seeing who she was with I looked at her and replied "You can't be serious right?" and L laughed out loud and told her she didn't have much ground to stand on seeing how often they break up and then get back together.

She sort of frowned and asked than what my plans were for Sunday.

Good question as I don't really have any now since I didn't make the dinner reservations at the restaurant we had our first date but given the day of the week and the time we would have gone, neither of us are night owls, I don't think it would have been an issue.

Now I'm thinking I just might still head down around 4pm and enjoy a drink and maybe have that meal after all, alone, and content to reflect on what I had in my grasp but let get away.

My daughter gave me a hug and told me to do what makes me feel good, regardless of what she has to say. Sometimes I come away from dealing with her and wonder just who is looking out for who in this little dynamic.

The original plan was for C to come down Friday as she had a meeting to attend downtown and then head to my place for the weekend but I think what is more likely to happen is she'll do her meeting and then visit friends before heading back up the valley.  Who knows we could even pass one another on the Queensway lol
