Clock tower.
I've been meaning to post on here.
I guess I have just been so busy and then not feeling well that I'm so worn out by evening time.
We really needed this down day today.
I did some homework.
Actually, I got a good bit of homework accomplished.
I'm finding the reading to be really labor intensive.
I think I'm mostly caught up now, but it is something I just need to stay on top of.
I'm really hating this philosophy class.
I guess as long as I pass, that is all that matters.
On Friday, after lecture, I had an hour to kill.
I ate my lunch, but then just walked around campus.
We have this clock tower.
It reminds me of an episode of King of the Hill.
Every time I walk by it, I look in it to see if there is anyone up there with a gun.
I found the gym and the pool.
I have access to those as a student and can bring a guest for $8.
I discovered there is a rock wall, kayak rolling classes, etc.
Guess what I'm going to go and find out....
If I can learn to roll my kayak for free!!!!
I've already discussed this with you, but lab got out at 330 on Friday afternoon, so I made it to the girls at 4.
Millie was so happy to see me.
She came running up when she saw me, and one of Autumn's friends was with her and before I could even ask Millie how it went, this other child said, "She cried the whole time for you."
I asked Millie how it went and she said, "I cried a little bit. I just want you and I'm scared. But I didn't cry as much."
That is when Autumn walked up and said, "I could hear Millie crying the whole time. I was in the library and Millie was in the cafeteria and I could hear her crying."
It makes me so sad.
I know that partly, Millie needs more time to adjust, but I just don't feel right or good about this.
I'm so grateful that Alison will pick up the girls when she can.
She is getting them this Friday.
I've broached the subject a few times with your mom and she is just not going to be willing to help.
I've decided that I'm just going to let it go and not begrudge her for it.
I am upset about it.
My feelings are hurt because I don't understand it.
Perhaps I never will.
The thing is, your mom has never helped.
Even when it was a true emergency.
When Autumn had her allergic reaction, the reason I had to leave Millie with a stranger is because your mom wouldn't take or stay with Millie.
So, why should this be any different?
She is just doing what she has always done.
Being mad at your mom for being your mom is like being mad at a blind person for running into the wall.
So, I'm letting it go.
Well, this evening we met up with Alison and did 3 miles on the birdie trail.
We warmed up 1/2 mile; then ran 1/10th, walked 1/10th for 2 miles; then cooled down 1/2 mile.
Autumn ran the last half mile pushing the jogger with Millie in it.
That girl was born to run.
She had the wrong shoes on, but she had excellent form.
We really need to get her into a run. She'll do well at it.
I love you.
Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo
