watch out.
apparently divorces are contagious!
well, okay i'm totally joking but tonight i am babysitting and when i showed up, the mom was having a little wine (you know, before she gets in her car to drive across town), and we were talking about my move and trying to find a job, and she says, oh-so-casually, "I'm going to be needing a new job here soon. I think in about a year I'm going to tell their dad [points to the kids sitting at the dinner table] that he can just stay in Florida and that we don't need him. He came up for Christmas and he's practically a stranger."
i'm kind of stunned by her candidness and i was just like, "Whoa, really?"
and she dumps out the rest of her wine in the sink and says "Yep. I just have to make sure we're going to make it financially without him."
Oh.
oh, if that's all, then yeah, dump that wine down the sink and go out bowling with friends.
no biggie.
i guess i just didn't realize that someone would say these things right in front of two children, who are in the first and second grade! i mean, these aren't babies! they have got to understand what this is going to mean for them!
okay. well, i just had to share. i'm probably going to blog again soon, i can feel it.
