OK, so I tried to post a little while ago and I some how deleted it on accident. I hate when I do that kind of thing. So, I will try this one more time.
Mike had his Christmas party tonight. It, as always, was very good. Good food, nice gifts, GREAT bonus, and yummy food. We didn't do much. We just had dinner, got his bonus and chocolates, and left. Some how we didn't get out of there until 9:15 which is later than usual. We didn't do anything different this year than any other, but for whatever reason we left about 45 minutes later than in the past.
We had an interesting experience when we left the dinner. We needed to get diapers and a few other items so we ran to the Boardman Wal-Mart since we were near by. As we were standing in line to check out Mike and I both noticed that in the line next to us was a gentleman we use to go to church with. At the same time he noticed us and we said hello and the usual small talk. But the one thing that I quickly noticed was that he was not with is wife but another woman. Now I don't want to gossip, but this really struck me as odd. I know he and his wife fairly well. I actually know his wife quite well and know that they are still together. He introduced the woman he was with as his sister-in-law. I know his wife's only sister and I know his one brother's ex-wife. I didn't know that he had another brother or that the one who is divorced may have got remarried. He explained that he was buying his nieces an air hockey table. This truly was none of our business but nonetheless it seemed strange. There was a long, awkward silence and we then paid for our things, politely said our goodbyes, and we went on our way. As we approached our car, I turned to Mike and told him that something just didn't seem right. He too said something seemed fishy. I don't want to read into something or assume anything but there was an uneasiness that was in me as we left. Even now I have a knot in the pit of my stomach thinking about it. I see his wife from time to time and now when I see her all I'm going to be able to think about is seeing him with his sister-in-law and how odd it was. I know that it is really none of my business. But, have you ever just experienced a situation that made you feel so uncomfortable that you just couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right? I can only pray that my feelings are wrong.
Well, I am actually getting quite sleepy and Mike is already asleep next to me on the couch here. I need to get him up and to bed so I should scat for the night. So, until tomorrow. . .
*By the way, having the Christmas party helped cheer my mood. I'm looking forward to Christmas a little more now. I've still got to watch White Christmas, that should help boost me even more!
