Onward and Upward - Part 8!

[MidwesternGirl]

Happy Thanksgiving Glam.

You have a lot to do today. Sometimes I think it is good for these men to be away at a time like this. Gives them a chance to think on what they are missing, etc.

We did not hear from h yesterday either. H was supposed to call S18 and he did not. At least now I have my son understanding about MLC as well.

Hi Glamgirl,
I hope for you that your H will show up.

You must be a lovely cook. I am getting hungry just reading your menu.

Take care and have a nice day.

Ok h came around 1:30 still sick. We ate around 2:30 which was a lovely meal. H was so kind and said that we could never find a restaurant that would serve a meal as tasty as I cook.

I thought that was a nice compliment from h. He has always liked my cooking.

As soon as he ate he said he was exhausted and needed to rest. He hit the couch and slept for 4 hours. He said that I could join him. I sat by him for a few min and then went upstairs and watched 2 movies with the kids.

When h awoke he asked what I did all day and I said watched a few movies. He said well I guess you didn't want to watch them with me. Which was not the case. I just didn't wake him up for a romance movie or Fred Clause. I just thought if he was that tired, he should just rest.

Then we spent some time going through the shopping ads and h asked me to pick up a few things for him tomorrow.

H helped clean up the from dinner. He then asked if I would fix a plate of food for the person he is renting a room from. I just said sure. It felt a little odd, but I am a good cook so why not. Not sure if he has told this person we are S or what.

I guess at this point it doesn't really matter. I just don't like airing my personal business or what some stranger might think of why we are S. Once again, does it really matter what they think? These are my issues.

In the past I have NO idea who h lived with. Never said anything about his living arrangements that is why I find it a little odd now that I am making a food plate.

He just moved recently, which I am grateful for since he seems to be sharing more about this where it was such a secret before.

Tomorrow I will be out shopping early and h said he would be here by noon. He seems sick and in a fog, so I don't want to put to much on his plate in regards to decorating a tree and putting up house lights.

We will see! I hope all had a good day regardless of our circumstances.

After h woke up I said h we should call your family. After all they are family and have been so good to h and I and the kids. H said you can call them but I am not talking to them.

I asked him if it was ok to call and he said yes. When I was talking to his mom she asked if he was there and still not wanting to talk to him.

She said tell h that he needs a spanking. I told h and at least he laughed. Then his family talked with the kids and I wished them a Happy Thanksgiving.

H seemed to be ok with it, but then when he left he gave me a very nice hug and a kiss and said that he was not interested in any involvement with his family and if I could please not tell him about any of his family or contact them when he is around.

I guess that was loud and clear I want nothing to do with my family and please don't remind me that I have a family.

[MidwesternGirl]

He is not ready to begin to reconnect with his family. That will take some time.

H too doesn't seem to want alot of contact with family. Seems like they'd have to answer to too many people or something then.

Seems like you had a nice turkey day GG!

[glamgirl]

Well another good day with h. He is very sick though and I am worried. I called him around noon and asked if he was coming over.

He called when he was on his way. When he got there he said that he would like to show me a car that he was thinking of getting.

It was a very nice vehicle and I just said if you really want it go get it. H is thinking it over. It was nice though that he included me in his decision making. In the past, he has just gone to a dealer and came home with a vehicle without my input, so this is in both of our best interests.

We then went out to dinner with the kids and s6 had some birthday money to spend so we stopped and picked up a few things. After we got back, h just said he was leaving to rest. He will not be over on Sat. I also suggested he rest on Sunday if I can get s20 to watch the kids while I work.

H needs to shake whatever he has. I just think he has been burning the candle at both ends with his work and now it's catching up with him.

He then asked me to pick up some more of his medication. I don't know what to think with his illness. I might suggest he see a Dr if it persists, but not sure if it's that bad that he needs to see a Dr. I just think rest and relaxation will help.

H used to be as healthy as can be. Now it seems he is sick all the time. I am just going to pray for his health and see if God can heal him.

It was interesting today. H made some comment about how in the past I had NO trouble stating exactly how I felt. He said it never stopped you before.

I simply responded by saying to h that I realize that in the past I didnt take your feelings into consideration and that I was working on this area and that it was ok for me to state my opinion if you asked, but that just because I felt one way it didn't mean that I should expect h to conform to my ideals.

This is a 180 for me. I have always been very opinionated and have let h know how I felt, but now it doesn't seem to matter much that h's opinion differs from my own.

After I said that, h was silent. Hopefully he sees me changing in small ways.

[glamgirl]

Ok not much happening. H is resting today. I am going to tell him to rest on Sunday too. S20 said he would watch the kids on Sunday for me. I am going to work earlier so I can get off earlier, so not to burden s20 on his day off.

I worked out at the gym today and feel great. I burned over 500 calories on my work out today. Feeling good. I have a goal by end of December to make, so I am being extra ambitious.

H told me to buy a new blender and some new crystal glasses while I was out shopping, so I picked up both. The blender I got was a mini blender and chopper. It's perfect for my protein shakes, since the blending cup is also your drinking cup. I love it. Now I can just blend and go.

I am all done with my holiday shopping except for one friend out of state and h's mom and dad. I am getting them holiday pictures of the kids framed. They like that.

Today just doing some cleaning and laundry.

I hope your husband gets better soon.

I think these men's resistance is so low and it takes them longer to recover from any illness.

Am glad to hear your shopping is complete.
