Spoke to the kids tonight. D6 thought the apartment was "boring" while S5 thought it was "really fun." Made me laugh. I know that S5 was really, really missing his Dad.
Asked to speak with H before I got off so I could confirm what time he'd drop the kids off in the morning. Told him the house was really empty without the kids here. It really, really is. Asked him if he read my card, which he did and said thanks for the really nice note. I told him I just wanted to know in case he was afraid to read it thinking it was some big hairy deal. My D6 told me Dad was going to sleep on the couch tonight. It's really a small loveseat. So I mentioned it to H, his response, "Yeah, going to rough it until I figure it out." or something to that affect. Old me would have used this as an opportunity to say something like, "Well, there's an easy solution to that." or "You don't have to do that, you have a house here waiting for you." or even, "You have a bed here." But I didn't. In fact, I have a new twin and trundle coming here and H knows it, but I didn't mention anything about bringing one of the extra twin beds over there.
Keep your distance CW!
