Update

Stacy is moving out this weekend.  I’m not very happy about the events that led up to it, but there has been an unexpected, pleasant side effect. 

Laurie has been really tolerant and polite today.  When I told her yesterday about Stacy’s finding an apartment, she burst into tears.  She apologized to us both, saying she didn’t mean to run them off.  Stacy gallantly told Laurie that it wasn’t like that.  She needs her independence, she said.  The boys need to see their Mama standing on her own two feet again. 

All day long, Laurie has said "please" and "thank you" and she hasn’t lost her temper once.  I don’t count on the temper thing staying that way, because we’re both hotheads, but I’m pleased with the way she’s been today.

We’ll have a lot of time together, alone, again.  That’s always nice, when she’s not telling me to do things for her. 

I’m hopeful that a change is in store.
