Had a truely wonderful visit with F1! I just wish I could have shown her a better time. Will definitely paint the rooms the wonderful colors she picked out.
DD had her wisdom teeth out. She seems to have come through better than me. I was an internal wreck. All I could think of was "I am driving my baby so someone can hurt her" <sigh> I think part of the problem is also that tomorrow (Father's Day) is also our 19th wedding anniversary. I am not expecting flowers, like last year, but I am hoping. Not good. I don't think he will do it this year. Is this a good sign or not. I know I can't read into it but I want to mull over it and I can't. It just is. I will move on. <sigh> He did send bath stuff and one candy bar to his dad in Arizona for Father's Day. His dad just commented that the candy bar looked like an after thought and sending it in 100 degree heat probably was not a good idea. His dad sent him a thank you with their new P.O. box (they are moving end of this month) and a "missing you, love you" at the end. DANG!! I want to shake H and make him respond - good or bad - but I can't. I didn't tell him about DD and her wisdom teeth, maybe I should? but I feel better when I don't do anything. Then I am not expecting something (like a reply).
I am reading Chapter 15 (How to Save Your Marriage Alone" in Staying in Love for a Lifetime by Ed Wheat, M.D. It is very biblical but generally says "respond with kindness" and treat them like you would want to be treated. I can't respond to anything except a nice thank you for the occassional flowers but I don't know if the "treat like you want to be treated" is appropriate. I should send updates on DD but I get no response so are they too much? Is is producing too much guilt so is it better to leave alone? I feel like I am spinning my wheels. I know everyone says one way or another and can not say what is exactly right in my stitch so all I can do is be here and wait. Learning patience is the pits!
Still coming to NYC on July 3-9th. I've got tickets to Wicked and to see the fireworks from the lake. YIPPEEE!
Sitting quietly doing nothing, the flowers bloom effortlessly.
