H called a few times in the morning while I was on the computer (dial up still ). Didn't leave any messages, just hung up. Called my cell which was upstairs and woke up D15, told her to go back to bed he would call later. Called later while I couldn't get to cell and told D10 he was going to be disposing of radioactive waste. So I decided he must be working today. That was 1/2 hour before we planned to leave for the musuem. He called as we were getting ready to go and seemed a little upset that we were. I said I was sorry but he said last night that he didn't think he would see the girls today. H said he told them he hoped to see them today. Asked if he wanted to go and he said no and hung up. D10 wanted him to go so I called back and expressed that. H said to go w/out him he would go shopping w/ male friend. I also express that I was sorry for the misunderstanding and I didn't like feeling like I was being a B. H said I didn't need to feel that way. (After I got off the phone I asked Ds what he said last night and it was what I thought.) H had made some comment on the phone to D10 on the phone about it really not being a nice day for the zoo. Don't know if he thought they planned to go or what. She didn't know what he was talking about.
Glad we went to the museum. Ds and I had a good time. We bought two prints to hang in the dining room. D10 picked on by my favorite artist. When H saw it later he said it was his favorite artist too. He also liked the one D15 picked.
H showed up around 2:00. Spent time with D10 going over purchases. After that he went in the living room to read the paper. Then he sat on the couch with her and napped while she watched TV. They cuddled the whole time which was great. I think they are really repairing their relationship. I asked who wanted me to go a local butcher shop to pick up one of our favorites for dinner. D15 raised her hand and H raised D10s. So D10 and I ran to the butcher. I made a yummy homecooked comfort meal. I announced when it was ready and Ds came into the kitchen. I served up our plates the went into the dining room. H was on the computer and I asked if he was eating. H said yes and thanked me. It still kills me that I have to invite him to eat, but he is thankful that I do. H ended up staying until after 6.
Positives for today: 1. H stayed around for four hours while I was here. 2. H asked about coming by in the morning. Said I didn't need to go somewhere else while he is here. 3. Noticed for the second day in a row H pulled his car into the driveway. He has been parking in the street since the S.
