The Theater Boosters are having a spaghetti dinner tonight to raise funds for the upcoming production! I am volunteering to help with the dinner tonight. Sounds great and innocent enough. But, oh! The dreaded chance meeting... especially after the drama that was dropped in our laps today.
I think it's important to support what the kids are into. To help the theater boosters with their bake sales, set building and dinners like these; well, this is something I can do and am good at. I try to keep a low profile because I'm sure she doesn't want to see me or have me be involved with anything to do with the kids. I decided last year though, that this was a good thing that I could help with and be unobtrusive. I'm also new to the area and would like to meet people.
One of things that makes it so hard is the wondering of what has been said about you. With the BM's loud and wrongful mouth, she is very good at making her ex out to be the villain. So I am left to hold my head up and try to make friends with these people, wondering all the while if they can get past the gossip.
So do I go today or not go? This is such a pain and a stress for me. My stomach is in knots. It makes me question why I would even bother! This what people don't realize about being "the kids' father's wife".
