Thanks all for the kind words, compliments, and feedback. Brian, thanks for coming by. I am glad you are still around...to check on us, anyway!
I am having a bit of an inner battle after this weekend. It is much easier to keep my PMA up when he is in Canada. Which is good because he got back Friday at 8 pm and he is already gone again, he left at 8 last night (Sunday) and is gone until Friday at midnight.
The weekend was fine, we only had one incident of crabbiness between us and it lasted all of 30 seconds. He talked to me about his cows, I went out to see the babies. He talked with all of us about his work. It was hard to have much 'us/family' time b/c SIL/BIL were in town for niece's 3rd bday party which was Sunday.
But they were around all weekend so wherever we were, they were there most of the time. After church Sunday Dan and I and the kids were going to have lunch together. MIL called me, I answered, she said "Where are you?" I said, "Pulling in to (restaurant)" she said, "We'll be right there" and hung up. So our lunch for four turned into lunch for 11... She sure likes to interject herself sometimes. Found out from Dan later that MIL and SIL had been fighting terribly over the food available at MILs house, among other things (SIL prefers organic hoity toity stuff I guess) so she wanted to come eat with us. Whatever. We were fine either way.
Anyway the general vibe I got was that he was glad to be back extremely exhausted from work, but not all that excited to see me. Feel like the whole ILYBNILWY thing is going on.
But, again, he was flat exhausted from the 18 hr days in Canada, the flight, packing everything into 36 hours when he got back, etc etc. So I will try not to read into it too much.
I guess I am just lonely for hugs/kisses, holding, physical touch in general (not from my kids!!). But we are getting along well, and he called last night from Denver airport between flights and talked to me for about 10-15 minutes about the weekend, what was going on between his mom and sister, job stuff, etc. So he continues to call me whenever he has something he wants to talk about-crisis at work, family drama, etc etc. I just feel like we are friends when I want to be more. But, one foot in front of the other. That's how it works, I suppose.
