Well, came home a bit after 11 from the Moms Night Out. It was fun getting out with other girls.

H seemed a teensy bit uncomfortable with me going. Not saying I couldn't at all or being negative about having to be with the kids, but just "whose house is it? what are you going to be doing? do you have the phone with you?" etc. I had my purse on my shoulder and getting ready to go and he stepped back from me and said, "You look nice. You have your "hot" pants on." I chuckled and said, "This is my only pair of jeans that's not capris!" (and a black t-shirt, woo-hoo!) He hugged me, I kissed D4, then headed out. He followed me though. Was telling me about seeing a certain kind of butterfly that day that he was never able to catch as a kid. (We're nature freaks, him especially.) I listened, but seriously was like, in the car, ready to start the ignition and he was standing there, hanging on the car door, shootin' the sh!t. It was funny, but cute.

When I got home, he was about to fall asleep watching tv. Asked how it was, etc. I said fun. I immediately said, "Thanks for watching the kids so I could go out. I really appreciate it." He said that's fine. He said, "What'd you do?" I said, "Eat, drink, talk, play games." He said, "What game?" I said, "Cranium." He said, "Did you win?" I laughed and said, "no." He said, "I tried to call a couple of times, but you didn't answer." I said, "Oh, I'm sorry, my phone was in my purse, but I didn't hear it." He said, "I know, kind of defeats the point of taking it." I said, "It was loud, lots of cackling girls." He said, "Did everyone complain about their husbands?" I said, "NO! (smile on my face, but I was surprised he asked this.) Nobody did!" (pause-I was laying next to him lightly rubbing his back by now.) I said, "What would make you think that?" He just said, "I don't know." I said, "No, there was nothing negative like that at all."

No sex last night. (I said something at the end of the night about, "Not much of a date night." because we had eaten out, but then it was just an average night at home putting the kids to bed, etc. He said he thought the night before was date night! \:\) lol I said, no because of counseling appts on Monday and PayDay we moved it, remember? He didn't. No biggie.)

Anyhow, he was about to fall asleep. I stroked his back a bit more, we said ILY, and I said good night. (Said I was gonna read in LR for a bit.)

I listened to the message he left on my phone. It was just barely an hour after I left and he was saying, "It does no good to have the phone with you if you can't hear it. I was looking for the digital camera so I could do some work. ttyl." No ILY.

Looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Monday is his IC appt. Mine is Tue morn. I hope we get headed towards some progress on his issues with the past. I almost HOPE that something pops up which puts him in the "angry place" before his appt because what happens is he will attend the appt and just talk about the issues in a glossed over way if he's not really angry. It seems that the only time a MC can really get a handle on what it is he's experiencing is when he's in one of those states, because it is SO different from when he's not.
