I see myself as further along than your examples, but of course, a long, long way to go. You may have noticed.
Note:
I am home a little early. Our computer sits at a desk that has all my R books on one side and other books of hers on the other. Two of her book are one that I got her a few months ago. I have them sitting just so, so I know if the have been moved. Really no other reason to move them. One book is "The Walkout Woman" and the other is "Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome". I had told her a client that happened to be a christian couselor had gotten them for me. I had told him my situation of her wanting to leave me. He did recommend the books. I told WW that he had brought them to me to give to her. She never did, of course. But I just noticed the "AGGS" book is moved a little. Hmmm. She must have been on the computer this morning after I left, because the envelope with the L info is at the desk. Empty. It had business cards, custody info for the state of Texas and info on parenting classes to help kids of D. Hmmm.
As far as the hug, I did not look to her like, "Please lets just hug". I told her, "Come here" and took her. Felt very masculine. After I said the part about being happy, the last thing that I whispered to her was that I was so afraid for the girls. That part ended up choking me up. I think she mumbled, "Me too". I kind of took it in the hug for a while and then I broke it.
I LOVE a good practical joke. Always have. I can take 'em and give 'em all the way to the bitter end.
Puppy, you are not a killjoy. I appreciate ANY of your input. Good or bad.
And thank you for the words, AT.
I just hate your name because of a certain OM that I know. Keep checking in on me, eh?
