Your kids had fun because you were relaxed and enjoying yourself! How wonderful!! I noticed before the bombs dropped, when H was stressed out, family outings were tense. It was a vicious circle, I caught the crankiness from him, the kids caught it from me, and no one had fun. We still do things as family, but as the 'adults', we realized we need to help the girls enjoy things. But the best thing is, I started getting out more with the girls by myself, its very empowering and freeing, isn't it? We can do this if we have to, we just don't want to. SIGH
Glad your day went so well. H didn't call you because he is jealous of your fun day with the kids. I can almost guarantee it.
PS: I have removed what few granny panties I owned, and replaced them with nicer non granny versions. H still does everyone's laundry (we share this chore) so I *know* he has seen them. hee hee
