Hey bar!

Good on you. Your H is definitely noticing everything you're doing, so even if you just duck around the corner and cry for 7 hours before perking up and waltzing in with a smile on your face, he can only wonder. I'm sure his imagination is just as active as yours.

My DH called the other day while I was working out with the cell phone off. I forgot to turn it back on, and when I got home there was a voice mail at home and an email asking me to call. He said he was worried when he couldn't reach me. I apologized, explained I'd been working out (GAL), and told him I didn't know what he was imagining, but that I was fine. He said we could've had a fire or an earthquake. (!) Then yesterday I did the same thing with the phone, had missed two calls from him. When I called back I said, "I see you called a couple times. What's up?" He said, "That's okay, I'm getting used to it."

I'm not sure what I'm doing there. I think partly I just don't want to hear from him much right now, though I wonder sometimes if I'm just shooting myself in the foot. Answer the phone? Play coy? It felt good to miss calls while I was really doing something else, but not so good when I just left the phone in the car so as not to be bothered (by him calling or not calling). And of course I have the kids, so I don't want him to be concerned. I've just always been reachable anytime.

It's amazing how complex the simplest things can become.

Good for you for planning your weekend. I'm thinking about getting some seriously funny CDs/DVDs. It's hard to cry when you're laughing. I hope your son offers you some distraction.

Take care.
