Here's to the Happy Me!!

[Soxfan2008]

Dude- Speed, you locked up a another one on me!!!!!!!!

Thanks Trip. I am doing OK in the happy area. I guess I just want too much too soon and maybe I jumped the gun. Oh well. Time will tell.

H just pulled his tooth out

I'm getting laundry done, which makes me very happy, and Football starts tomorrow which makes me happy happy happy, and today me class of 4th graders drafted Fantast Football teams and I had about 10 parents come help (that never happens) so that makes me even happier.

D pulled a muscle in her neck- girl can't catch a break this year. H took her to the doctor this morning and took care of her, so that was good. I'm going to go do some email validation on that right now.

Bummed that Pavorati died though. I've always wanted to see him live. I missed his last time in Vegas, and I was hoping he'd get one more.

I was bummed about Pavorati's death, too. Hoping to see Bocelli when he comes to town next. I missed him last time.

Anyhow, I know what you mean about wanting too much too soon. I can't blame you. I would want it too. I guess I would figure if you wanted to be with me than take some bloody action.

[Soxfan2008]

Girl, you're gonna have to come to Vegas when Bocelli is here and we can go together!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw Placido Domingo a few years ago. WOW!!!!! H made snide comments but I loved it!

[Trip]

I saw Liberace when I was a kid.

And...? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[Not Much Left]

Yikes
Liberace, that would not be viewed as a positive!

So, you're sitting there in a white suit with sequins and sparkles all over it?

Or big rings all over your fingers??????

H hasn't replied to my email, but we talked last night a bit on the about the kids and S.

S just emailed me from his teachers email about his grades and lack of organization and he got caught for dress code violation because his shoes were untied (can we say over taking things over the top?????)

I just forwarded it to H.

Hopefully I can stop this before it gets out of hand like last year.

Last night S called H and said he wanted to stay with me and not go for a ride with H.

This morning the kids called and said we were at the gym and asked his he was picking them up there - left a message.

H called me while we were shopping after gym. He said he'd come get them. I replied that we weren't at the gym and we weren't home either. We were out looking at pets and then off to Walmart. He asked if I wanted him to meet us there or just at the house. I said the house would be fine.

The kids and I went to walmart. We got in and there were no carts. So I asked the kids if they'd go get one and then meet me back here. They jumped at the chance. Well guess what. S decided to take a different way back to where I was. They didn't see me and so they decided to go to where they thought I was going to go next (based on what I said I needed to buy). I was panicing. It was only like 20 yds to the carts- straight down the isle we were on. So I had them paged and they still didn't get there. I was in tears. I called H and asked if he'd changed his mind and had come to Walmart- he said no why- then the kids turned the corner. They had come back to where I had said to meet originally. I told H and then we hung up . I just looked at the kids and D broke out in tears and S was almost there. So I just said that they had scared the [censored] out of me. And we finished our shopping and then went home. On the way home I reminded them that the reason we go the same way is so that I know where they are and where I could look for them. We talked about how I couldn't go look for them because then they'd never find me. That is why when you are meeting someone, and you get there and you can't see them- you stay put. That's why when you are lost you stay put- so the adult can walk around and find you. I think they got it now!

H came to the house to get them. I was cleaning out my closets when he got there. He just came in. i had left the door open but normally he rings and waits even though the door is open. This time he came in- so that's a good thing right?

He asked what I was doing (Clothes on hangers all over the living room...) I said cleaning out and rearranging the closets and that I needed to make better use of the space I had and get rid of some stuff. He said he needed to do that too.

We talked football for a bit. He left with the kids and I closed the door behind him.

So if you were me, would you see that as H wanting to try?

[Soxfan2008]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Still can't figure out a way to praise him. It seems corny to say "Hey, thanks for just walking in the house the other day. I appreciate that."

Ya know?!

[Trip]

While giving him a quick hug, maybe you could say something like

"It felt great having you coming in without knocking the other night". Smile and give a flirty wink while walking away.
