So, anyway, it was nice to see my dad and it meant the world to Chris that he came... He even said that after they left... He made a few comments about the step-monster being afraid we would spend 10 seconds alone with our dad and then said that it really had meant a lot that our dad came... I was pretty proud of myself and my Nonnie for pestering him about coming... Hope and I called him a few times and I called him alone everyday just to make sure he was coming... And then (of course) Nonnie called him too... And, in the end, it all paid off... I just wonder what kind of fight broke out before they came there...

So, anyway, on Sunday night, I found a bird outside my apartment... It was a cockatiel and he looked hurt... I realized after getting him into a shoebox that his wings were clipped and he was fine, he just could not fly... So I took him over to Mamaw's because I knew she had a cage... When I pulled in, my dad's car was there... Hmmmm... So, I drove around a few times and then stopped in front of the house... The neighbor stuck her head out the door and I asked her what I should do about knocking on the door; that I really didn't know what was going on but (Duh) he must have left his wife if he was over at Mamaw's that late... So she offered to call over there and I walked away... My dad opened the door and let me in... He told me he had left and he had moved on in to Mamaw's... As shocked as I was, I just laughed... So I made the little bird comfortable and left to go to the store... I brought back food and left it on the porch and went home...

So the next day, I went back over there and passed the witch as she was driving away... LoL~~ Good timing to say the least; she was leaving... So I went in and the first thing I saw was Angie standing there smiling and waving at me... I just played with her hair and tickled her... She laughed and jumped around, all excited... It was adorable... In fact, she was so funny that day... Kids will tell you anything...

We played on the computer and played with the bird and she asked question after question and we all tried to answer them and keep up with her... So, the wife came to get her and I was on the phone talking to a guy about designing a webpage for his business and my dad went outside with them... They were gone a while and I didn't even notice until Mamaw said they must be fighting... So, he came in and asked me what I had told the neighbir the night before... I told him exactly what was said and he just said. "Well, I don't understand", kinda under his breath... That's when I realized that she had sent me a little message... She told him that she had been on the phone the night bofore when I was talking to the neighbor and I said, "And??", and he said, "Oh, nothing"... I guess the "wife" had tried to tell him that I was talking bad about her to the neighbor... (AS if!! LoL) I don't think I eben mentioned her really because I didn't know what was going on... So, my dad just dismissed it... When I started to leave that night, I almost knocked on her door to tell her to call and let Barbara know I was leaving... LoL~~

So it looks like Barbara is spying on my dad... She is using the cover that she sells the girl Mary Kay (which is probably true... Trailer people seem to love that make-up) and calling to tell her awful things about my dad... And to have her watch and see what my dad does... LoL~~ How mature...

Okay so that was a few nights ago... I saw my dad just yesterday and he looked so normal... Not stressed the way he has looked for the past few years... Just looked nice and was talking about me helping him sell some of his cars for him... I gave him the leather jacket I bought him for his birthday and the leather briefcase I got as well... I also gave him a cool knife keyring and a t-shirt that says "DAD~~ U DA MAN" on it... Those were his Father's Day presents in case he goes home and she starts her shit again by not letting him see me... I have had some really good talks with my dad over the past several days and have felt closer to him than ever... Even if he goes home, I will always hold these last several days close to my heart...

The funny thing to me is that he MAY end up back with her... However, their "perfect little marriage" that she has tried to make us think was "wonderful", has now been portrayed in raw detail... I will always enjoy the fact that he smartened up for a few days at least and saw her for what she really is... And there is no doubt to me that he knows the real person behind the cheap make-up... LoL~~ That's all I ever wanted... For him to see her for what she really is... And I am sure he has... There would be no way to avoid that... LoL~~~
