Why do I even guess at a time?

OK, so now I'm feeling like I shouldn't even bother to estimate my time to get home. Maybe I should just adopt an attitude of "when I get there, I'm there."

This a.m. I left a note:

M, I w/b home as soon after noon as possible. Maybe we can talk before you go anywhere. (a reference to her "intent to leave"). L/L

(the latter a reference to her suitcase and her attempt to go off elsewhere at least for a few days).

I got home at about 2:30.

She wrote on the note:

"Oops.... sorry. I read this as noon (like lunmch) not afternoon (like evening)"

reminds me of her talking about a conversation she had with her kid yesterday -- where she complained that I'm still not coming home very early.... to whcih he said, "Mom, anytime before 9:30 is early"

Now the only reason he had to say that or base that on is HER telling and complaints.... of course, he also tends to tell her what she wants to hear, as well. Easier that way
