i woke up at 5 this morning....got on line for 15 minutes and went back to sleep. D7 woke me up to wish me a happy V day. i decided to roll over and let W take care of D7 this AM. I must have been really tired because I fell back to sleep (deep sleep). My W woke me up next to my bed looking down. She also wished me a happy V day. She always adss anyway...happy V day anyway...happy new year anyway....merry christmas anyway......I guess she means I know you don't feel 100% but ...... She was looking deep into my eyes and i hers. I will repeat she is not where she was 6 months ago. Anyhow, she could have easily left the house without saying bye. I came down to pour myself a cup of coffee in the kitchen and she came to thank me for cleaning her salt stained boots yesterday (I am sure some of you have no idea what that is). More hugs ...real ones....totally from her no pursuing on my part. I walked her to the garage and wished her a nice day. A nice start to what should be a nice day....it's up to me to keep it upbeat with all the kids and W tonight...it's their day.
One more thing, last night during our conversation (before she started talking about her tough childhood), she asked me to describe her strengths and weaknesses. I refused. I know her love languag is words of affirmation but I did not want to get into a list of good and bad points.
