There and Back, #7

[SallyM]

I was a bit lazier than expected. I did do tae bo, but then curled up on the couch and watched an ep of Cold Feet so I could get it out in the mail/back to netflix today. felt pretty decadent.

funny, how I enjoy my free time when the kids are in school, but when h takes them on weekends I get very sad about it. don't get me wrong, I am enjoying myself then, at least part of the time, but still, big difference.

definitely don't have to worry about H tonight. he e-mailed me today to let me know that he won't be able to get the kids on friday, will get them on saturday instead, if that's okay with me. Bite me. I know why...she comes back on friday, guessing he needs to get her from the airport and have a good romp with her since he'll be apart from her the rest of this week.

of course, I could be like mk, and pretend its really because he has to go to the dentist for a root canal. yeah, that's it.

okay, the neglected housework is calling. today I am going to get the kids in gear and clean up the playrooms. then a bit other basic stuff, so things look good for when h gets here. I know at this point I shouldn't bother, but still, there is a part of me that wants him to walk in the house when it looks good/homey just to send that message of what he is missing. at least I have more of chance than if he walks into total chaos and mess.

okay, and its good for me. yep, its about me, not him. me, not him. me me me me me. good to live in an organized, neat, tidy home. yep. who cares what he thinks.

for those who don't frequent the just for fun board, re-iterating that there is a boston DB meet in just a couple of weeks. if interested, head over and check out the details. think I'll throw a separate post on this forum as well as the infidelity one to see if anyone is interested. already have a good group going.

see, I'm GAL. yep, I am. oh, and today I asked if he could keep the kids a little later on the 14th (the day after the meet). that way I'll get to sleep off a little of the night's festivities. I'm very proud of myself, I didn't tell him why I needed him to keep them a little later. and I guess I'm happy with his progress, because he didn't ask, just said it was cool.
