So as I was typing a few minutes ago, the phone rang. By the time of day (after work) I figured it was H. It was. He talked to S5 and then S5 brought me the phone. I gave it to D22months and she said Hi. Then I got back on.
He just wanted to tell me he wasn't coming down tonight b/c the people buying the truck didn't get their check from the credit union today. He will come down tomorrow. I pointed out that the kids and I would be at church tomorrow so we would miss his visit. He said it was ok b/c he wouldn't get here until 8 p.m. and would have to drive back right away so he could get up again for work the next day. So I won't see him until the weekend which is just fine with me. I think we need a little space...
Actually after he told me about not coming tonight and the plan to come tomorrow, I asked him if he was feeling overwhelmed. Didn't ask it in a nosy or demanding way. I can't remember exactly what I said but it was something like "You sounded pretty stressed out today (laugh by me). Bet you have a pretty high learning curve coming in and being the boss from day 1". He said yeah that was pretty much how it was going, a lot to do and not a lot of time to get acclimated. I said I figured it was something like that. This is about as close as we ever get to an apology/moving on from an argument.
Then he said "Okay, I will talk to you later". So I said ok and hung up. Don't know if he means later tonight, or later, another day. Not going to worry about it. Was thinking about having the kids call and tell him good night tonight but since they just talked to him I think I will skip that idea.
So things are back to neutral I think. Not a lot of forward momentum but no real setback either, even though I thought so earlier today. Just need to keep taking things one day at a time. I just wish we could keep having our MC appointments bc that is usually when I get to sneak a glimpse inside his head.......
Oh well. Back to work. Kiddos are hungry for supper. Will check in later tonight...
