Now I've done it... again

[nephartiti]

I decided to test the waters and let S2 call H. It took him about a half hour to call back, but he did. I gave the phone right to S2. Then H asked to talk to ME

He told me his dad's dog passed away. He talked a long time about details. I listened and asked how everyone was doing. Then I asked when he found out. Two days ago. Was he looking for an excuse to talk? I hope so.

Then we talked about kids again. He is coming 7:30-8 AM tomorrow (after he drops OW off. barf BUT he is not staying for her first period conference:) ) Then I mentioned that D has grown out of her cloth diapers and asked if nephew could use them. Also mentioned I needed to order D some in her size. He said not to hesitate. He said if the kids need ANYTHING to let him know. He made a point of saying thast this includes S9! Do I believe my ears? "He is your son and my son's brother..." His voice started failing so he stopped. More tears, but he checked it right away. I told him mornings are pretty flexible here, so if he was in the area and just wanted to stop by for even a few minutes to say hi, he is welcome. I told him just to call to see if we were around. He said thank you very much.

I told H I was having trouble sending one of the videos of S2 to his MSN acct. He gave me the password and info to his AOL acct and told me to try and send it there. He said he wasn't sure of the acct info b/c he hardly uses it. He asked me to let him know when I figured it out do he can access it. That's a big act of trust, I think.

Anyway, cell phone cut off at 17 minutes as I was letting him go. Not bad. Not bad at all. I just have to keep my cool. I'm going out while he's here tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed everyone (a little prayer wouldn't hurt either).
