Thanks W2G! Well I already caved.....S5 is sleeping in my room. I said it was ok for tonight but after that he is back in his bed (he is a little bummed about H moving out, too). Although S keeps saying that once we go to Iowa me and D and S can live at MY mom and dad's while H lives at his parents'. I started that a month ago when I was thinking we weren't going to stay married. SO I was prepping S by telling him there probably wasn't room for all of us at MIL's house so we (me and kids) would stay at my parents. My parents have a Play Station so S was all over that idea. He still wants to do it that way even though he says he misses Dad. We shall see...
H called at 10:45 to say good night before he went to bed. I don't really know the purpose of the call. Kids were both asleep (he asked if they fell asleep ok), so he only wanted to talk to me. Told me we had another calf born tonight at the farm (where he is staying). Couldn't really figure out what he wanted but just talked to him like a normal conversation, which I guess is what is was. It was weird b/c I had decided I am not calling him for awhile, and he called.
Even though this is a job separation right now, I have a feeling tonight that I need to lay low and let him come to me. I am not going to announce to him that I am treating this like a real separation, but I am going to act like it, at least a little bit. He is the one that told MC he wanted to use our time apart to think and work on himself (sure hope he gets an IC soon!), so I don't want to "bother" him during this time. I know bother isn't the right word, I just mean if he needs to focus on him then I shouldn't be calling every night to chit chat. If he wants to talk to me, he will call like he did tonight. Although I will call some nights so D and S can say good night. MC suggested making a routine around this good night call, but we haven't really talked about it yet.
Anyway, time to go to bed and hope S5 doesn't kick my gimpy ankle in the night (I sleep without the boot thingy on so my foot is very sensitive). Talk to you all tomorrow....
