Journaling...think I need to get on here more often and keep track of the day to day?...always quick to get on and vent or whine, but lately not much to vent or whine about so......
Back up for a minute to Saturday night. Plan was to stay home while she went out with the girls...got bored and GAL'd my a$$ off...ended up at the bar wife and I frequent...band playing..ran into some friends and closed the place up...had a ball.
Here's the interesting part of the evening.
Through some miscommunication and poor cell service, wife and I did not connect until 3AM, at which time she found out that I was at the bar, and I found out she was staying at my brother's(she was with SIL). If I did not know better, I would have thought she was reading from an old script of mine, when she finally got me on the cell phone.....
"where are you? I just called the house and left a message?" -I'm at XXXX having some drinks and listening to the band. "really? with who?..thought you were staying home." -got bored, ran into xx and xx...having fun. "Are you OK to drive?...how long are staying..can you let me know when you get home?" -not long...I will call you. "OK...don't forget"
Stayed until they shut the place up..chatted with some friends out in the parking lot....got in the car....cell phone has messages from the last hour since I spoke to wife...LOL...WTF?
"let me know when you are home, OK?" "are you home" "hello!" "what the f***?" "you home?" "answer me"
Send her a text to say on my way and I am fine...relax and go to sleep....no response.
From the answering machine at home...best as I can remember... "Hello..just called to tell you I am staying at SIL's...hello are you home...sleeping?...I will try your cell.
Then the others must have been in between the texts I had already seen.
"Hello..are you there yet...why aren't you answering your phone?" then.. "You jerk...you better not be home sleeping...would you please just call so I know you are home?" and the last one. "I am SO mad at you right now. Would you PLEASE just call me so I know you are home safe?"
Called and got her voice mail so I figured she was sleeping. Checked in with her in the morning and we both laughed about it, but she did make sure that I knew she was just concerned and wanted to make sure I was home safe.
This is the first time since the bomb, even with all we do and as well as we get along, that it felt like she was showing concern for my whereabouts and well being...really....and it kind of felt good to have a little bit of a role reversal.
Like I said, she could have been reading from one of my old scripts...where are you, when will you be home, who are with???
Oh, well...I thought it was cute anyway.
Have to get back and catch up on the rest of the week...which was calm, cool, relaxed and normal stuff.
