I am gald you all woke up feeling conversational!!! It has been lonely here in the morning.
First of all I am (I didn't notice since when), a Member- not a Junior Member anymore. You are all invited at my place for a drink to celebrate!! (that's an idea guys...)
Lan, you got me there!! I know, I know, but it's easier to preach others... I hate it to wait. It has been easier in the beginning but now that I see the positive changes happening daily I am getting impatient, I want it to go faster. I guess it's the feeling we are missing time and good times together as a family. I see no use in it.
Lizzy, Ali, I've been thinking that he has been depressed ever since this stupid crisis started. But at one point he convinced me and himself that it was me and our marriage to blame for his mood. I hope that just as I realise that I am not to blame for this, he is seeing too. I think he does.
He brought the kids back today and stayed for an hour or so. He was again in no hurry. I acted content and the rest but I couldn't help it and told him something like "God you do sound very tired and miserable, great progress you have in your life, you eat delivery food everyday, you work 14-16 hours, you go back to a cold tiny place, huh, how did you manage that?" But I was laughing and he laughed too, and gave me a little nod(spelling please?) Well, I knew immediately I was critising and tried to take it back by talking about something else, being extra friendly etc. etc. I think I merely pulled it off with no major backsliding effects. We'll see.
I told him I am planning to come to States in Feb (true) with a friend of mine that works as flight crew ( I work at the airport and get very good deals for tickets). He was a liitle bit suprised, NY was a trip we had been planning since we first met, but we never got to do it. He was enthousiastic about it after a while. He said "yes, with the Euro/Dollar rate you 'll get to shop till you drop". I told him my money situation is not that great but I am seriously thinking of taking that trip.
He left, in a good mood and I gave give two pieces of fresh warm cheesepie I had made and he seemed really thankful about that.
We talked twice on the phone since, mostly about our kids (homework etc.) and that was it.
