Monday, May 19

Yesterday turned out to be a nice day after all. It started off questionably b/c Mike was in a bad mood (go figure). Slamming doors and stomping around, etc. Such a drama queen. So he decided to go play his Star Wars game. He asked me if I wanted him to leave and I gently said yes, because he was just acting like a jerk.

Then Tom and Lucy arrived. Tom wanted to start coming along with Lucy on Sundays, but like the ass that he is, he was late getting home from the raquetball club. God he just doesn't have a clue. Lucy told me some very personal stuff that she'd never told anyone else about their relationship. She is so angry and has been keeping it bottled up for decades behind that Lucy smile. Here I always thought that Mike had the 'normal' upbringing with the still married and loving parents. Guess his life was just as dysfunctional as mine. Maybe more. At least my parents got married because they loved each other and got divorced when it wasn't working. T and L seem to have gotten married for more business like reasons - he wanted to be taken care of and he promised her that someday they'd be rich. I really don't see where their marriage is going. I don't know if they can live together any more, but I don't know if they could live apart either.

Tom took Spencer to the park and they had fun, Lucy played with Rachel here. They they left when the kids went to sleep.

After nap we went to Frank and Melanie's for dinner. I had told her on the phone why we left early yesterday and she understood.
