Thanks guys for the good words! I am so excited about the new job. Just don't know when I can start it, have to wait to hear from orthopedic dr. next week.....
S does have an ear infection. Actually Dr. said both ears were full of fluid, not a "true" infection, but b/c he was complaining of pain and it is his third ear issue in 3 months, she is treating it as an infection, says letting it progress a few more days would result in an infection....so put a call into ENT (ear nose throat) Dr. Most likely S will get new tubes and adenoids or tonsils (or both) removed... He is chipper though and says ears feel better?
We went to IHOP after the dr. Kids loved their pancakes and laughed a lot. In the car on the way to church we took turns yelling "I love you!" to each other--my S started it, what a sweetheart! D kept saying "Luh you TOO!" that is her favorite phrase. So the three of us had a pretty great night.
H called after kids were in bed. Helped walk me through lighting the pilot light on the furnace so we have HEAT again! Yay! It was a nice, lighthearted conversation. At one point I joked, "I carried out the garbage cans, I carried in the wood, I loaded it in the furnace, and now I MADE FIRE! I am such a cave woman!" Don't know why that seemed funny but we both laughed and H got a kick out of it. He was excited he is getting our taxes ready and has $15K in deductions for his/our cattle business....So both of us were pretty upbeat tonight. That was nice too. Decided I will be upbeat when talking to him about the kids and life in general, but will still not bend when it comes to our R or M. Won't move in with him unless there are concrete actions taken, won't be affectionate or any of that either unless/until I feel his changes are real--if he makes them. So far he says he ended it w/OW (again! ) Friday. Sunday before he left he volunteered that she hadn't contacted him all weekend (?), nor he her. I have NOT asked if he has contacted her this week, I am not bringing up our R anymore. It is his job now if he wants it.
I will be far too busy eating pancakes with my kids to worry about it ....oh yeah and remembering what it feels like to have a warm house since we are getting snow again Saturday. Hope it makes you happy Lizzy, we are 70 today and snow Saturday....
