I know so many people are having down times, but I want to share the good times I am having..I went to Walmart saw a coffee table..wondered what it could be like for $50..bought it, s put together..really quite nice..does not match end tables..they had end tables too..so when dd came home and I said" I don't know if I should get them with out asking your dad" she nearly had a fit..said" he does not live here..you don't need his permission" I know I don't but told her it is still his home too, and i usually would not buy larger items without talking about it..so she called him and he was just laughing..said to her "I suppose she would like to come and look at it..said he did not care if I got them(which has always been his reaction..just wish he would have taken a more active role in buying house stuff)she also told him she and I were going to go to a movie..he asjked which one.. she asked if he wanted tot go.He came over said the table was nice..we all went to get the 3 end tables and went to movie. While we were in the store he debated on getting one for his appartment..my heart sank..why would he if he's going to come home..someday? He kinda laughed and said "It really was almost too high..(then he stopped..then he continued)at your house..our house" I said "your house" he said ,again "our house".said his sofa was so low.

So it was another step of what??Is he coming around..just wish it could be the two of us..but it feels safer when our kids are around? He really seems like his old self.
