I feel like I must first clarify something. "Domestic Goddess" is a title I give myself because "Homemaker" makes me cringe. Something very 1950's about it that i just can't relate to. If that gives people the impression that I am a mini- Marth Stewart, ok. I'll take it! Just please don't ask to visit me here! I'd hate to kill the illusion!
Anyway, Just some journaling on the good stuff:
Had a friend come over last night. She is pregnant and we were making invites for her baby shower. We had fancy scissors, paper, stickers, stamps, markers, etc (ok there is a little Martha Stewart in me) all over the table. In the past few months, it would have made H nuts, but when he got home, he just laughed and shook his head and said leave it to the two of you to make such a mess and then admired all of our invites. Definitely a 180 for him. In the last couple of months, I would have expected him to come home, take one look at the mess, give a curt hello to my friend and thn proceed to clean. So, I was pretty happy.
Later that evening, we were watching the tourney (NCAA) on tv and he let me do a little snuggling!
Last night, he had trouble sleeping, lots of tossing and turning. He reached over and was stroking my belly which woke me up. We talked for a little while, I asked if he was making a pass at me ? He said no, but he liked touching me. Nice to hear from someone who didn't want any type of intimacy at all 8 weeks ago!
I got a quote for painting our kitchen and family room and it looks like we're going to get it done in about 2 weeks. The quote for the patio is coming on Monday. It's good because we're actually talking about future projects.
We actually haven't had any bad stuff go on. FF called Wed night with a work issue. I made no deal about it at all. She called again last night to say she needed him to pick her up a little early b/c she was leaving work early for a dental appointment. Took the message very pleasantly and relayed it with no contempt in my voice. *Pat on my back* The funny thing is that I feel none. I think that H and I are in a pretty good place right now and I feel a lot less threatened by her daily presence. Now, I haven't been in a social situation with her since I almost punched her lights out in February, so I can't say I'm out of the woods yet, but I think I see the light.
Good PMA today. Erin
