Starbucks? Nachos? That's not newsworthy? They're like the best news ever!! It wasn't so long ago, was it, that H getting you Starbucks was BIG news, so I think it shows how comfortable and how far things have come in your sitch for it to be no big news now. GREAT NEWS!!
Sounds like you had a nice time with H today, Where. And great progress with the painting quote.
The weekend was good. D2 and I drove to hometown and had birthday breakfast with my Mom on Saturday.. MIL joined us for breakfast too. Was a nice visit. Later on in the day saw FIL... it's always a bonus to see him. He's a good man. Then saw a girlfriend of mine.. She's pregnant. 4 mos along. I'm very happy for her but worried about her relationship. She and her H have seemed to be on rocky footing ever since they got together in the first place. Somehow they are managing to hold it together although I'm not sure how. I feel like I should make some suggestions to my friend.. so that she can work on their communication but I'm not sure how to do that without stepping on toes... especially since I'm the one in the broken marriage and hers is still intact.
Sunday we, D2 and I, went to a birthday party. The birthday boy is turning 3. D2 had a really good time... and I got to take a turn at the pinata.. and I wailed on it... I beat it up real good.. but it didn't break.. yet, it felt AWESOME!!!!!
Monday, D2 and I went out for a walk, went swimming, came home had lunch.. all seemed well. When D2 awoke from her nap she was crying for Daddy. Saying she wanted to go to Daddy's house, that she's loves Daddy, that she doesn't love me (which although I know she doesn't mean it.. it's still icky to hear it).. took her 10 minutes to calm down. We were stuck in the house the remainder of the day because it kept raining every time we went to go out. Then again, as we are settling down, lying in my bed watching cartoons with our jammies on it started again.. about how much she loves her Daddy. how much she misses her Daddy. It was a tough day for her.. which then made it a tough day for me. I really wish there was something I could do for her but there isn't. I just love her and hold her and hug her and tell her how much Daddy (and Mommy) love her.
As for H. He called Sunday night and said that he would come over Monday night (last night) but that D2 would likely already be in bed.. he would just come over for a coffee or tea, hang out with me for a bit and then jet. Which is exactly what he did. He got here at about 10:20 pm. I made him an instant carmel latte (Nescafe) which he loves and I had a tea. We chatted, I told him what happened with D2.. and he looked really sad by that... he told me what was going on at work, I told him about how he folks are doing, how the party was, how great D2 is doing at swimming. Things for noting are that when he came in he gave me a very nice kiss and a very warm hug and said "it's so good to see you. I feel like it's been forever since I saw you!". Which was a very nice way to start our short time together. After his latte he had a butter tart.. as a wake me up before his drive back to the apartment.. then as we were standing at the door to say goodbye something one of us said (I can't remember who) caused him to start singing (and this is something we used to do) a Lionel Richie song. He jokingly just sings "All Night, All Night" through the whole thing and I sing some of the lyrics to "All Night Long". Then I got a hug and kiss goodbye.
So my Monday started off good.. then kind of went to the crapper because my D2 was so sad.. but then ended with a song.
As for today, H called early this morning. I was just getting D2's shoes on so we could be on our way to daycare. He wanted to talk to D2 because of how she was feeling yesterday and to reassure her that he would see her today. Although she already seemed over it when she first woke up this morning.
Wow, what a visit. Its so frustrating isnt it? Although, like me, it seems you either swallow it, hide it, or have given up on feeling frustrated! Resigned? I am glad he popped by and kissed you! What kind of kiss ??? (probe probe, nose, nose)

Me:40! H:37 Together: 12yrs IDLY & left 11/07 ADs 03/08 OW 8/08 Reconciled 05/09 now married! my thread
I was frustrated yesterday Ali. It pains my heart when my daughter cries for her Daddy.. but having her wake up and seem like the thought has passed, for the moment, has made me feel better.
And H and I... it feels like we are together.. so it feels good.. but it still does suck when he leaves and yet I just smile and say goodbye.
As for the kiss, Al you made me laugh, it was just one of those soft, sweet kisses. Quick but not a peck, kwim?
Woog is right (of course), you do sound good. I am sorry about your D. Good thing about her age is that she can still get easily absorved/distracted by/with something else. But I am sure it is more difficult for you.
I hope you get a break soon in your sitch. It's a shame, all this love to go wasted... Give your D2 a sweet kiss from me. My kids are a bit older now and I really miss todlers' age lately. They are so much fun! Love K
((((Where))))) That sounds like the best kind of kiss ever! Not that I can really remember that stuff- my lips are only used for talking these days!
Sounds like you had an OK end to a bit of an icky day. I'm glad H did something about D being sad though and made the effort to call her. He's slowly emerging from the fog. If only we could speed him up!!
W2G - I need to catch up on your sitch but I saw your post on Ali's thread about the black marks on you air hockey table. Are they scuff marks, like the kind you get on your floors? If so, try rubbing them with a clean new tennis ball. Really hard!! It works pretty well sometimes.

You sound great!!! Kisses sound awesome. It sounds like H is so comfortable with you. that is wonderful!!!! I'm sorry to hear about D crying for Daddy, you are being so strong and doing the right thing by telling her that Daddy (& Mommy) love her! And that is so awesome that you and H ended the night singing together
