Made it through the frist day of 2008. Kept reminding myself all day to lower expectations. H showed up about 45 min. later than he said he would this morning. Had me worried a little since all the drunks were out last night and the roads were bad today. I had already started most of the food for lunch w/ his parents. H got on the computer. His feet were cold so I went and found his slippers that he hasn't used since spring. No thank you. H ended up going to lay down in "our" bed around noon.
ILs got here about 1:00. Had D wake up H around 1:15. He came down and got on the computer. Didn't really offer help in the kitchen. We sat down to eat a little after 1:30, but H stayed on the computer which is in the room right next to dining room. MIL told him twice to come eat and he finally did. I cleaned up w/ help from ILs. H came out to the kitchen to see if I needed help when I was almost done. ILs ended up staying for a few hours which H slept half of.
H got some leftovers ready to take w/ him. He said he would eat some tonight and take some for lunch. That was weird because he doesn't take his lunch even once a year. I don't know if the food was that good or what.
H said he wouldn't be stopping before work in the morning as he thought we would all be in bed. After he saw the snow in the drive he said maybe he would come clean the drive. I said that wouldn't be necessary, I could do it but I would appreciate him making sure there was gas in the blower. I hate doing the drive, but it is something I need to show I can do.
H was very quiet today. Not sure if it was because he is still sick or he was wishing he was starting the new year w/ someone else. H did do one little flirt w/ me. I was surprised and his parents were nearby so I couldn't respond. I guess I should take that as a big positive.
I have been thinking about what I need to do differently this year. I realize I need to start putting myself first a lot more often.
