Previously:
I just sat there for a minute collecting my thoughts. I’m falling in love with her again.
Bette
My day trudged forward with little fanfare. James and I looked at some applications for scholarships and cleared out the ones that were incomplete. Amazing that someone could be asking for money but not take the time to ensure that they filled out the paperwork correctly. Because I was in a very generous mood, we highlighted the areas that were incomplete and addressed envelopes to go out to the applicants in the morning with the deadline also highlighted. That took up the majority of the day. When we finished, we both left. He to go to the gym and me, to go get Angie.
She was out on the playground when I arrived and except for a Dora band aid on her chin, she seemed perfectly ok. She was talking my ear off in the car about the birthday celebration that was held during snack time so with good faith, I called Tina to let her know that Angie was ok. It went straight to voice mail but I wanted it there when she got a chance to check her messages.
Angie and I headed over to The Planet. I really need to start cooking when she is with me. But not tonight. I just wanted to enjoy our time together and if I took her home, she would want to get in the pool and would not understand that she should not go in with her boo boo on her chin. To avoid any arguments, having a meal out again was a better option.
To at least pretend that I was a good Mommy, I did order her baked chicken and she ate it along with her veggies and mashed potatoes without argument. As a treat, she got a cookie from Auntie Kit who sat with us. This was the first time since the whole thing with Tina and I has been happening that I’ve really had a chance to talk to her and I told her everything. She was as concerned as I am about Shana and her behaviors. She congratulated me for finally getting my head out of my ass and putting Tina first. I didn’t quite understand her until she asked me what would I rather have after a hard day. She asked if I would rather a picture of Angie, flowers, wine…because my sending Tina the pictures of Angie shows that I am thinking about what will make her bad day a little less dreary and not thinking of impressing her.

It is such a total pleasure to read this story. Your timing is just perfect and also how you are making both B&T more open about their fears, expectations, etc. Very enchanting update. PPS – Lucero & Marsha – From Mexico City
I’m so loving this story. The details are so vivid and true to life. I’m counting down the hours until Tina’s return and family night. :)

I’m lovin’ this story. I really like the conversations between Bette and Tina. You need to write for Showtime! Loved the “spawn of Satan” comment in your previous posts. I don’t know how you do that job! Laughing at zheese’s comment…I was thinking the same thing but I couldn’t bring myself to call you “nag”. You better get that project done so you can get to writing…
I thank you for posting tonight. Great story! BTW, Angie is in the care of the pack of wolves that raised Tina :o)
My gawd this is good!! Now I’m gonna have to go back to the beginning and read all the way through! Loved the part where Angie just set the phone down when she was finished and walked away! Little true-to-life details like that are absolutely endearing in your writing. And nag (NewAgeGirl, heehee)…well, girl you can write!! Love it! :)

Oh,yes this is getting so good. Bette is finding out that little thing do mean a lot. Bette can give Tina a smile a look that will mean more than flower or a fancy meal. thanks for post so soon.
Loved this update and of course, love the story. You know, IC & Co. really need to explain things like Angie’s absence and where the HELLL is she if everyone she knows is with her mother’s. Great upadate, Thanks so much. PPS
